Potty Training a Puppy 101
Mostly, dogs show signs of social intelligence that is not common in the animal world.
Therefore, it is possible that even a puppy, young as it may be, can already be exposed to potty training because a puppy develops very fast and begins to learn and explore at a young age.
Potty training a puppy starts as soon as you have one, but they really do not start to pick it up until about 18 months.
Begin by letting your puppy go around your house enabling it to familiarize the place.
It's so simple yet requires a lot of patience.
It has to be on a regular basis and takes time.
If you do not have the time and patience, then maybe you could buy an adult one which is potty trained.
The first thing to do when you're in to potty training a puppy is to find a place where he can sleep and spend time especially when you're not around.
Then let him find a perfect spot where he could consider as his "toilet".
You will know if your puppy is going to potty when he starts sniffing and scratching the floor.
Approximately every forty-five minutes, guide the puppy outside your premises.
Also, after every meal and before you go to bed at night to avoid unwanted mess and smell.
If in case the puppy is unable to cope up with the training or has done some mistakes, scold him right after so he will know but don't ever punish or yell the puppy for this may result to resistance to further training.
Feeding your puppy with a commercial dog food is the best but it should be dry so the stools will be solid.
Furthermore, feed your puppy at the same time every day at least four hours before bedtime, and remove his water two hours before bedtime.
And bear in mind to clean the place immediately with non-ammonia products.
Reward your puppy whenever he does it correctly.
This way, he will know he has done what is acceptable.
Potty training is a stepping stone to obedience training.
Have a heart to these lovable and huggable creatures.
Be committed on what you're doing because in no time, you will reap a good harvest.
