How to Potty Train Your Puppy the Right Way

By Randy Gauthier

Congratulations on your new puppy. Now you want to know how to potty train puppy the right way. First off, let me start by saying that this will take some patience and dedication on your part but I assure you the rewards of training your puppy to go to the bathroom in the correct spots will make your relationship all that much healthier and will truly make this new puppy your best friend. Here are a few quick tips to make your puppies potty training successful

How To Potty Train Puppy The Correct Way:

1)It is always important to start your new puppies training immediately when you get him home. Please try to remember though that at this point your puppies bladders and the control they have over them are not yet fully developed and there are going to be accidents.

2) Prepare a feeding schedule and stick to it as much as possible. This is important as your puppies bathroom habits are directly influenced by the food and liquids that they consume. Puppies will normally go to the bathroom within 10-15 minutes of eating or drinking. A routine is essential. I would suggest taking up your puppies food and water bowls 2 hours before bedtime and always taking your puppy out to the designated potty spot immediately following meal times and before bed.

3) For initial training it is recommended to confine your puppy to small restricted spaces when you are unable to keep a eye on him. This will reduce accidents as most dogs will not defecate where they eat or sleep. If you are against crate training, a small room like a laundry room or kitchen, I have found effective. You will want to make sure that you confine to floors that are easily washable until your puppy is successfully house trained.

4) Designate a spot. By this I mean designate a spot where you would like your puppy to perform its business and always take your puppy to this spot when you want it to go "potty" remember to always use the same word when commanding your puppy to go.

5) Be sure to praise the puppy and reward them with a little playtime or treat every time it does "the business". Positive reinforcement will be your biggest tool in how to potty train puppy the right way.

Remember that your puppy is going to make accidents and trying to ignore them and not scold them for their mistakes but offering praises for the correct actions will significantly improve your success of potty training your puppy.

By following these tips the question of "How to Potty Train Puppy" successfully will become a lot clearer and you will be on your way to a long and great friendship with your new pooch.
