Any parent who gets a new puppy will be happy their children are so delighted but they will worry about the matter of potty training. It is a very important task you must accept when you get a new puppy. You can expect to have rugs ruined, furnishings damaged and your bed might seem a lot less welcoming until you have got this done. You may have noticed in other peoples houses that smell of untrained puppy lingering in the air. No pet owners want this so the best way to avoid such an annoying situation is by potty training your new puppy properly.
Potty training should not be too difficult when you know that the dog is one of the few really intelligent animals. Your new puppy doesn’t have a lot of time between the feeling of the need to go and his body waste being excreted so keep a close eye on him at all times. If your puppy begins going in circles and sniffing the ground it is a good sign that he needs to go to the potty area quickly. Once you can recognise these signs your potty training for your dog should be straightforward.
Doggy doors were a great invention and they make life a whole lot easier as your dog can go outside when it feels the need without you needing to be involved. Puppy doors are a great way to make your life easier and also help your puppy potty train himself.
A regular routine of taking your puppy for a walk both in the morning and evening is a great way to get his body regulated. You will have to show your dog the appropriate place to do pee and poop and spend a little time there and congratulate him if he does his business.
Praise is important to a dog so when you praise him for doing his business in the right place he will remember another time. He starts out with no idea where to go to the bathroom but with your encouragement he will understand the correct place to go. Mistakes will happen when your puppy leaves it too late to try to get to the right place so show you are disappointed but do not be tempted to punish him in any way. Over time his nervousness will disappear and he will become more trustworthy as you reinforce his learning about where to go for potty training.
While the training is going on, ensure that you keep an eye on him at regular intervals. Dogs are quick to learn but sometime that may not be fast enough for you and your patience may be tested. As you train your puppy you should give him lots of affection to show you love him and he will want to please you.
It can be rather tedious constantly watching your dog for when it needs to visit the designated potty training area. There will come a time when he gets it right all of the time and the effort will be worthwhile. The stink of the untrained puppy will disappear and you will have a clean home once again.
