Potty training your puppy will be the most important thing that you teach him. Showing your puppy that his potty is outdoors is something that should be indicated the minute you get him home. You will need to prepare yourself for a lot of waiting and watching; but with time and patience, you and your puppy will succeed at puppy training.
When you bring your puppy home, you should immediately show him the area where he is to choose his potty. You can hide the potty area from others' view by putting a fence or plants in pots around the potty area. This also serves to distinguish the area as your puppy's potty.
Teaching the command "outside" is very important. You should say this command loudly to your puppy whenever he pees or poops inside. Then you will have to pick him up and run outside with him to make him finish going potty in his puppy training area. Then you will praise him for actually going on the potty.
Believe it or not, eventually you will teach and enable your puppy to use the potty on command. Puppy training on command also calls for another command word of your choice.
Praise should be given every time your puppy asks to go outside and actually uses his potty. Tell your friends and family to be sure to praise him in these cases as well.
A common misconception is that an accident calls for punishment. This is not the case. Oftentimes, punishment may actually cause more accidents because it will only frighten and confuse him. Some puppies will even begin to potty in areas where it is hard to see the pee and poop if they are punished for potty training accidents.
Punishment is something that should never be done when puppy training. You will only hurt your puppy; he may even become scared to use his potty outside. Many puppies will begin to eliminate inside when they are punished when puppy training. They may even attempt to hide the evidence, yet they will still keep reacting in this way.
If you follow the mentioned tips, while maintaining routine, love, and firmness; just when you feel like he will never get it - puppy will surprise you one day in his potty training efforts. This will be the first time he asks to go outside to use his very own potty! - 29895
