Reasons Most People Struggling With Puppy Potty Training
from:Puppy potty training should start early in your puppy's life.
It's important for them to know the things they should and
shouldn't do and remember them for the rest of their lives. The
easiest way is by rewarding and praising your puppy every time
he does something right. The more frequently your puppy is
rewarded, the easier and faster it is for the lesson to stick.
First of all, it needs a designated potty spot for your puppy.
This could be in a certain room or corner away from the public
areas of the house. Get started on the potty training sessions
by placing old newspapers in this spot and let the puppy know
about it early on. It's also a good idea to put his bed, toys,
and food and water containers around this area.
A puppy needs to eliminate many times a day, frequently. They
usually do it after waking up, after eating and after playing.
When they feel like doing so, your puppy would normally look
uneasy, sniffing and walking around in circles as if looking for
something. The training can start by paying attention to signs
like these, so you can carry your puppy to the potty spot in
time. Most puppies can't hold it in for very long until about
three to six months of age, so that's probably how long the
training program will take you.
Some pups can be harder to potty train than others. For such
pups, it might be necessary to cover the entire floor of the
training room with old newspapers. The pup will begin to show a
preferred spot to do his business as he gets older, so you can
gradually decrease the area covered by old newspapers. If all
goes well, you'll only need to cover one area of the room. The
training completed!
However, if your puppy misses the paper, you probably decreased
the covered area too soon. When the pup does this, show your
disapproval by pointing at the excrement and scolding him with a
low, growling tone. This is enough to make a mental connection
and, done several times, will be enough for the puppy potty
training to go smoothly onwards.
Later in the training program, when the puppy is constantly
relieving himself only on newspapers, you can then gradually
move the newspapers to a more convenient spot in the room. If it
goes well, you can eventually teach him to do his business
outside the house. Overall, puppy potty training takes time, and
only patience and diligence on your part will see it through to
eventual success. So don't give up if it doesn't work at first -
everything takes time, and puppy potty training is no exception.
Puppy potty training is the first of many things that you
should teach your dog. When the puppy learns the discipline
required in potty training, it will be easier for him to learn
other tricks and rules of the household, ultimately helping him
become a good member of your family.
