Bringing home a new puppy is one of the greatest joys of life. You've got a new member of the family! Along with the many joys of dog ownership, however, comes one big responsibility: you need to potty train your new dog. Don't worry. This guide will walk you through the basic steps so you can successfully learn How to Potty Train a Puppy.
Step 1 The most often emotion when you see that your puppy has crapped on your floor is one of anger. I understand, but if you are going to have a puppy you should be more understanding than that. What if you had to rely on someone else to let you go to the bathroom? And also you couldn't speak so you couldn't tell them when you need to go? You can see where it would be a hard thing for your puppy to learn to deal with.
Step 2 You need to empathize with your puppy and clean it up as often as necessary until they learn. I will get to the training in a minute, but I just wanted to share my feelings on that subject. I don't believe you should rub your puppy's nose in it or hit your puppy. Remember, he relies on you and he cannot talk.
Step 3 Here is how you go about training your puppy. You will have to let your puppy outside after every meal. Let the puppy eat, then let the puppy outside. Stay outside with your puppy. Do not go and do something else. You will need to know if he has done his business or not. Sit there and watch the puppy. It could take your puppy up to 30 minutes or more at first.
Step 4 You will get impatient, especially if it is cold or you have something else you need to do. You should know that it takes time. Do not let your puppy in until you see that he/she has urinated and defecated in the yard.
Step 5 Do this every day and five times or more a day if needed. Let your puppy outside every few hours throughout the day. He might make some accidents. If he does, just take him outside. Dogs are smart. Eventually he will learn that outside is where he craps and inside is where he doesn't crap.
Step 6 I know this method works because I did this on a two year old pomeranian. She was not house trained at all. When I taught her, she learned quickly. Now she has ways of letting me know when she needs to go outside. She also doesn't take a long time anymore when she is outside. It usually takes her a minute now. She doesn't have anymore accidents in the house either.
