Potty Train Your Puppy In Months

Potty train your puppy in a matter of weeks. Puppies are adorable animals that make great pets. They are affectionate, playful, and make great companions. When we bring home a new puppy, we are bringing a new family into our lives. He will be with us for years and share the joys and laughter of life. Take care of your puppy.

A puppy will love you as much as you love him. But there are those little things that you can do without. A new puppy will not come potty trained, just like a baby. You will have to train him. Little puppies have weaker bladder control, just like human babies. Be patient. And just like babies, puppies do not know that urinating inside the house is not okay. You will have to teach him.

Begin by sticking to a regular schedule. If a puppy has irregular patterns with sleeping, eating, then his excreting patterns will be harder to fix. Make sure he sleeps at the same time and wakes up around the same time. There needs to be a routine that is developed. The more regular his schedule is, the more faster his potty training will be conquered.

When your puppy starts to go pee inside of the house, say, “Stop” or “No!” Do so in a caring yet firm voice. Never yell at him. Yelling will make you seem mean and the puppy will want to stay away from you. Do not ever spank him. You do not want to hurt your puppy and have him resent you for hurting him.

Be observant of your puppy. Watch for things like sniffing around. If he starts to stop whatever it is that he is doing and begins to sniff around, watch out! That is a sign that he is looking for a place to do his deed. Whenever he starts doing this, tell him to stop and carefully lift him outside. Let him finish his business outside.

Potty training should take no more than two or three weeks. If it proceeds longer, talk to your obedience instructor or veterinarian. See what else you can do to help your puppy on his way to being house broken.

It is important that your puppy knows when you are proud of him. If you keep rewarding him for his good deeds, the more effective the training process will be. When the potty training has been mastered, the same techniques can be used for other training methods. You can move onto more fun things like how to sit, stand, roll over, etc. Oh what fun you will have with your puppy! And potty training is just the start.
