Potty Train Your Puppy In No Time

By Remco van Reenen

Potty train your puppy in no time. When we bring a new puppy into our home, our lives are changed. The puppy becomes a member of our family. Treat him/her with the same kind and care as you would your own child. Puppies have feelings and needs.

A new puppy will bring joy into a home. But they do often have little habits that are not too thrilling. Being unable to go potty outside will take some work. Puppies are not potty trained from birth. And it is not a something that they develop on their own either. It needs to be trained. They do not know that peeing inside the house is wrong. Cats are born knowing how to use a litter box. Puppies are not.

Begin by sticking to a regular schedule. If a puppy has irregular patterns with sleeping, eating, then his excreting patterns will be harder to fix. Make sure he sleeps at the same time and wakes up around the same time. There needs to be a routine that is developed. The more regular his schedule is, the more faster his potty training will be conquered.

When your puppy starts to urinate inside of the house, tell him, "No!" Tell him firmly, but never yell. Yelling at the puppy will make him feel bad and resent you. You do not want your puppy to be scared of you. You want him to feel the same love and affection you towards him.

Be observant of your puppy. Watch for things like sniffing around. If he starts to stop whatever it is that he is doing and begins to sniff around, watch out! That is a sign that he is looking for a place to do his deed. Whenever he starts doing this, tell him to stop and carefully lift him outside. Let him finish his business outside.

Potty training will take about two or three weeks. If it takes longer than that, talk to your veterinarian. See what other methods you can use to help your puppy. Or get some additional advice from an obedience trainer.

It is vital that your puppy knows when he is doing good. When he starts doing his business outside, reward him. Praise him or give him an extra doggy treat. A positive feedback will lead to greater results. He will know that he is doing something good. - 32531
