What Are The Potty Training Puppies Secrets?

July 26th, 2009

Many people wonder if there are secrets for potty training puppies. The truth is that there are really no secrets, just the correct application of knowledge. Sometimes, potty training may not even be necessary. A number of people have purchased their pups from breeders and have never had to train their pup to do their business out of doors. The pup was trained already by its mother to go out of doors. However, for people who get a puppy that needs to be trained, there are some helpful tips that can make things easier.

One of the first things you will want to do is to establish the dog is in good health. If the puppy has an infection like a urinary tract infection or other disorder or infection relating to its systems, then it may result in a delay in training. When you know your puppy is healthy, then you can start the potty training process. It is important to establish the correct habits in your dog so that you do not have to spend time changing bad habits.

Decide where you want your pup to go. A very specific location is a terric idea. Some people allow a general area, such as a backyard, but this can cause the puppy to get distracted and delay his elimination. So, by picking a corner of a yard, you can make sure that the puppy understands that when you take it there, he/she is to do his business promptly. In other words, you do not want to leave your puppy any room for confusion.

Another rule of potty training puppies is to be consistent. This means you’ll have to monitor your pup and take him or her out at the right times. If you don’t, you are risking an accident. So, keep track of your puppy and allow it to go out as it needs to. Any time your puppy drinks or eats or plays very hard, the puppy will more than likely need to be given the opportunity to go. You should see your puppy letting you know when he needs to go out within about two weeks. Some puppies will bark and others will go stand by the door to the outside. Other puppies will come up to you and put their heads on your knee and stare at you longingly. However your pup chooses to let you know, make sure you praise him for his efforts to eliminate outside.
