Let’s face it. Many of us enjoy a little companion therefore, some of us keep puppies as pets. But most of us dread having pets as we may think that we are going to burden ourselves with more responsibility. Some of us think that potty training your puppy is a hassel. Let me tell you one important thing; it is best to potty train your puppy while it is still young as when you train it when it is older, you need to get rid of its old habits. These are some ways in which you can potty train your beloved puppy. Read on if you want to find out more.
We shall start by understanding the basics. One thing to note; a new-born is not ready for potty training. The ideal age would be three months.
First Rule: Remember to keep your puppy’s meal on a regular schedule. You can take your pet out after he is done with his meal. You can also take out your pet after nap, before his bedtime, or when he whimpers during the night.
Second Rule: You should avoid as much as possible to give him food and water while taking a walk outside. If you really have to, you should only give a little. Another important thing to remember is that you should not give your puppy water two hours before bedtime. This is to avoid late night accidents.
Third Rule: Your puppy must be tired after playing around. Therefore, you should bring it out on a walk on a leash. This would give your puppy a hint that it’s time to relieve himself.
Fourth Rule: You should try to bring your puppy to the same spot to relieve itself. This way your puppy can recognoze the area and will try its best to relieve itself at the same spot.
Fifth Rule: You can use a word that would cue your puppy to relieve himself on your command. They will recognize that specific word as a command soon enough.
Last: Reward or praise your puppy if he relieves himself outside or followed your instructions on potty training.
Accidents are bound to happen. Therefore these are the best suggestions I can offer you.
If you see you pet relieving himself, don’t scream or yell. Gently nudge your pet to go outside and after this continue the reward thing by praising your puppy.
However, don’t worry. The mess won’t be around all the time. All you need to do when you pet does this is to just keep your cool and then you should just continue with the potty training. One thing to remember when you clean your pet’s waste; make sure to clean it thoroughly so that it won’t leave any smell that may induce your puppy to relieve on that same spot again. After doing this, you should put the cleaning materials outdoors. Your puppy should be able to take the hint that it should relieve itself outdoors.
Finally, if you just stick to your schedule and routine, eventually your puppy will get used to this and act in the way you want him to be.
