Potty Train Your Puppy Soon

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.

Life will be much easier if your puppy is properly trained. Remember that puppies do not come potty trained. They are not like cats. They need to be taught how to use the potty. They will not learn it themselves unless you teach them.

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 he starts to do his business inside, tell him in a firm voice, "No." You might want to try to gently carry him outside and allow him to finish doing his business. Do not yell at him or spank him. But do let him know that he should not be doing that.

When your puppy stops what he is doing and starts to sniff around, it might be a good time to take him outside. It might be a sign that he is looking for a place to "go". In an authoritative voice, firmly say, "No!" Again, be careful not to yell. And take him outside. This will develop into a routine for him before you know it.

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 important that your puppy knows when you are proud of him. If you keep rewarding him for his good deeds, the more effective the training process will be. When the potty training has been mastered, the same techniques can be used for other training methods. You can move onto more fun things like how to sit, stand, roll over, etc. Oh what fun you will have with your puppy! And potty training is just the start. - 29895
