Here are some great tips to potty train puppy.
Young puppies have a very small bladder and need to be given plenty of opportunity to potty.
After years of working and training dogs, here are some tips to help potty train puppy.
1.
A routine needs to be put in place.
Your puppy needs to have a bedtime and wake time, both times she needs to be give the opportunity to potty.
2.
Your puppy needs to have a regular feeding schedule.
Most puppies eat 3-4 times a day.
Try to keep to the same time, and remember to take her out after meals.
3.
One of the best tips is to crate train your puppy.
This will speed up the process.
4.
Anytime puppy comes out of the crate, take her outside to her designated spot.
5.
After playing she should go outside.
6.
After drinking water.
What happens if you take her out and she doesn't go? Bring her inside, place her in her crate, close the door and wait 10-15 minutes.
Then try taking her out again and if she doesn't go again, repeat (they usually have it after the first time).
When you potty train puppy, always remember to praise her when she does the right thing.
If your puppy has an accident and you don't catch her, just clean it up, you made a mistake by not watching puppy close enough.
Don't let her have free rein of the house.
If you happen to catch her in the act.
Great.
Now you can teach her that go potty in the house is not acceptable.
Firmly say "no" and pick her up midstream and take her outside to the designated area.
Then praise her once she has finished her job.
Scolding during potty train puppy can cause her to become frightened.
Once she become frightened she will start to hide when she goes potty so she doesn't displease you.
She don't want to get in trouble or upset you in any way.
