Potty Training Puppies Takes Patience And Persistence
Persistence pays off when it comes to potty training puppies. It also helps to be patient with newborn pups. Your puppy will be the ideal dog soon. Puppies don't like to disappoint their owner and they will work hard to please. It is best to get a puppy used to going outdoors in a designated area from the start. You should keep your commands simple. The use of the word "potty" will suffice. When your puppy hears this enough times they will likely learn to go on command. Lavish praise and give a little treat when the desired job is accomplished. It can be incredible how much a puppy will do for a snack.
Planning potty time after meals and when they awaken helps puppies get into a pattern. If you're at work all day, with nobody at home, potty training a puppy can still be accomplished. Crating the puppy will help them feel they have a place all their own. It also gives them a sense of security, especially when filled with toys and a little treat. While the master is at work, cover the floor in a designated potty area. Close off the day care location from unwelcome areas. You should place a floor covering away from the crate so the odours do not disturb them.
Accidents will no doubt happen but they do not have to be the focus. It's best for you to clean up and move on. If the puppy is caught in the act just say "no" firmly without yelling and then put them in the proper potty area. This will send a message that the puppy is being put on notice and they are not likely to consistently repeat the behavior. Whenever it looks like the puppy will not be getting the master's attention the puppy is better off placed in the day time care area. This way the puppy will not get in trouble.
A puppy will have a lot of energy between its naps and will need to get plenty of exercise. Include puppies as soon as possible when taking walks. If they are short legged then potty training puppies may also include carrying them part of the way. It's then that you let them out to a good potty area. Some people push little pups in a baby carriage since their legs may not be ready for long distances. Whatever method you use, be sure that you incorporate walks and play daily. When puppies have their own toys and their own space they will enjoy their mini palace as they grow into an adult. Persistence and patience are key to raising healthy, trained puppies.
