New puppies are very exciting at first, but soon everyone must put a hand in to help with puppy potty training. Being consistent and patient will get the job done quicker. Make sure everyone in the house knows the schedule and the work will be easier.
Don’t try to potty train too early. Any time less than 1 month old is just wasting your time. Plan to have some routines and safe places for the puppy to go.
Stick to dry food, one that makes the stool consistent. Good quality dry food will help him develop good eating habits. This positively affect how solid his stools are, his potty schedule and him ability to control when he has the urge.
Lead him to the designated place where he can do his thing. Be consistent and show how he should position himself properly. Do this often at first. If he messes outside of the area, just clean the mess immediately and mask the odor. Try to have fun, make a game of it. Praise him if he does it right. Reinforce the idea regularly.
Determining a training routine is up to you. You don’t want it too frequent or you won’t stick to it. Remember to have help, so you can keep to your schedule. The sooner you have an established schedule the sooner your training will start working. Don’t go out less than every halve hour. You and you pup should be comfortable with the schedule. Praise him whenever he does it right.
Don’t get exasperated by trying to stick to a strict schedule. This is training and there will be accidents. The idea is to have a consistent schedule as much as possible so your puppy will learn his potty training as quick as possible.
Don’t worry about chewing and barking too much while potty training. Stay with the task at hand. Some dogs will refuse to go outside at first, but keep at it. Use plenty of positive reinforcements and you will have a potty trained puppy in no time.
