I don't know a thing about you but I'll bet that you would agree with me if i say that it is a joy having a puppy around.
But sometimes, it is such a hassle keeping pets in your home.
You have more responsibility and the worse part of it all is that you have to potty train it.
I am sure some of you might just forget about getting pets when you hear that you need to potty train them but let me tell you this, potty training a pet is easiest when they are young.
The important thing that you should remember is that timing and routine are important.
You need to setup a regular schedule for your little dog.
How? Read on 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: Do not overfeed your pet while taking him for a walk.
Only feed and give your puppy a little water.
As much as possible, do not give water to your puppy two hours before sleeping.
Trust me, it will save you the trouble of having to wake up in the middle of the night to clean up unnecessary mess.
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: When you bring your puppy out to relieve itself, always bring it to the same spot so that is is able to recognize the spot where it should relieve itself.
Fifth Rule: Try using specific words to command your puppy.
Soon enough they will recognize that specific word as a command.
Last: I am sure you like rewards.
Well, same goes for you puppy too.
You should reward or praise your puppy if he relieves himself outside or followed your instructions on potty training.
You cannot expect the potty training session to be perfect.
I am sure you will encounter unforeseen circumstances.
Well, here are some ways to deal with them.
If you caught your pet in middle of 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.
I am sure it is frustrating seeing the mess left behind by your pet but you need to stay calm and clean up the mess.
After that you should continue the potty training routine that you have made up.
After cleaning put the soiled cleaning materials outdoors or where your puppy usually relieves himself, making it easier for your pet to recognize where he should go in the future.
So, there you have it.
All you need to do now is to stick to the routine that you have drawn out for your puppy.
Trust me, with some patience you puppy will be very well discipline.
Good luck!
