Getting a new puppy is very exciting. It doesn t take long, however, to realize that a new puppy takes more patience than you may have thought. Potty training a puppy, including teaching him to go outside requires a lot of effort on your part. The biggest question new owners ask all the time is how to potty train a puppy.
If you try potty training your puppy to go outdoors too soon, say at one month, you will probably meet with little success. Wait until your puppy is at least two months old to get started potty training in the great outdoors. If the puppy is with its mother, you may have an easier task of training, as the puppy will tend to take its cues from the mother. Otherwise, one thing you need to do is establish a routine.
If you jump up to take out the puppy every few minutes you will soon grow weary and your puppy may not get the point of too frequent visits outside. Set up a schedule to take your puppy out about once every thirty minutes or so. It s also a good idea to take your puppy out before you sit down for a meal. You don t want to have to get up and take the puppy out when you are in the middle of eating.
Setting up a routine and sticking with it is the quickest and easiest way to get your puppy potty trained. Training without a schedule can be a frustrating, fiasco. The sooner your puppy is in a routine, the better off your puppy will be.
Some people feel that establishing a routine is just too excessive. The reality is that it is a fairly simple thing to do, and it will help get your puppy trained. It is the best way for your puppy to learn. Just like potty training a child, your puppy will need to see and complete the process a number of times before it actually clicks that going outside means time to potty.
Sometimes you have to try to determine why your puppy doesn t want to go outside. This is difficult, but not the worst problem you will face. There are other issues like puppy whining and barking. Take one thing at a time. Don t give your puppy sensory overload. Get him accustomed to pottying outside first. This will be your most pressing task. Keep up and be persistent. In doing so, you will learn how to house break a puppy.
