Dog Potty Training

Dog Potty Training - Housetraining

Apart from food and nutrition, Dog Potty Training is one of the biggest areas of training and development. It requires time, vigilance, patience and commitment. The more consistent you are in following the basic housetraining procedures, the faster your puppy will learn acceptable behavior. It may take several weeks to housetrain your puppy, and with some of the smaller breeds, it might take longer. The quickest and easiest way to house train your puppy is to rely on your puppy's natural instincts and behavior.

Unless you can monitor your puppy 24 hours a day, don't expect the Dog Potty Training process to be completed until your puppy is at least 6 months old. Since puppies are growing and developing rapidly at this stage, they eat more food, burn up more energy and seem to need to eliminate constantly. They also have very little bladder control.

At first there will be no rhyme or reason to where your pup eliminates. He will go everywhere and anywhere. He will also probably play with the papers you’ve put, chew on them and drag them around his little den. Most puppies do this and you should have tremendous patience. Don't get upset; just accept it as life with a young puppy. The important thing is that when you get home, clean up the mess and lay down fresh papers. After all, that is what Dog Potty Training is all about.
