Potty Training Puppies

February 10th, 2009 · No Comments

Don’t make the mistake of waiting to get started with puppy training. This means right from the FIRST MOMENT you arrive home with your puppy or dog.

Take charge as the confident leader and start shaping your puppy’s behaviour immediately.  

The minute you arrive home carry  your puppy to the area you have designated for potty training outside.  By this time, after much excitement and having travelled in a vehicle maybe for their first time, your puppy really will have to releave themselves. 

So don’t miss this opportunity to start the potty training.  Take advantage of this perfect situation to introduce your puppy to the outdoor potty area.

Encourage the puppy to stay in the potty area.  Be prepared to redirect your puppy back into this area even if you have to carry them back.  Usually they will go potty quickly at this time even with all the new sites, sounds and smells. 

Be sure to give a command as the puppy squats to pee then praise. 

Once a puppy has peed in an outdoor area they are quicker to do their business the next time out as they can now smell their own scent.  

Over a short period of time a puppy taken consistantly to the same outdoor area to relieve themselves will associate this area with going potty and their response will become automatic.   Quick pees and poos outdoors makes everyone’s life easier!

Take advantage of potential puppy training situations such as the first moment arriving home with your puppy.
