Potty Trained Puppy
By Chris Sutton, Fri Dec 9th
Oh, isn't she just the cutest thing you have ever seen? Thatbrand new little puppy you received as a Christmas present isthe best gift you have ever received. You are so excited and youjust can't wait to...Wait a minute! What's that smell? You havegot to be kidding me! And so it begins. A lot of new owners find that puppy house training is one of themost frustrating things they face. House training your puppyDOES take a little work, but it doesn't have to be frustrating.The fact is that potty training your puppy can be a relativelyeasy experience. The first thing you need to do when you are potty training yourpuppy is to find the puppy her own place. It may be a dog crateor it may be a small bathroom. The important thing is that thepuppy has a place where she sleeps and spends time. This specialplace will become the "den" and dogs don't like going tothe bathroom in their den.
You should make sure she sleeps in its den at night because itcan be very confusing to a puppy when she sleeps in a differentplace all the time. Every morning, you should take her straightoutside. That way, the puppy will learn she needs to go outsideto do her business and the puppy house training will go a lotsmoother. One of the more popular methods of potty training your puppy iscalled the "crate method." You get a large crate and you put thepuppy's pillow and toys in it. You make it as comfortable aspossible for the new puppy. This will become the den andshe will not go to the bathroom in it unless she just can'twait. That brings us to the question of how often a new puppy shouldbe taken outside. Typically, when you first start house breakingyour puppy, she should be taken outside approximately every 45minutes. Not only does
this make sure she gets to go pottyregularly but it also teaches her that she is supposed to do herbusiness outside. When a puppy has an accident in the house, you need to scold herand take her outside immediately. When the puppy goes to thebathroom outside, you need to praise her and give her lots oflove. This will teach the puppy what is acceptable and what isnot acceptable. Here are five important tips to remember when you are trying tohouse break your puppy... 1. You should always praise your puppy when she does what she issupposed to do. 2. Give your puppy a treat when she goes to the bathroomoutside. 3. You should scold your puppy if she makes a mistake in thehouse but you need to do it immediately. It can cause more harmthan good if you scold the puppy later. She won't understand whyshe is being scolded. 4. Take the puppy outside at least every 45 minutes. You shouldgive her a command to "Go potty!" or something to that effect.She will learn what she needs to do when you give her thatcommand. 5. Thoroughly clean any area where the puppy has made a mistake.The odor will attract her back to the same spot and she will doit again. Non-ammonia products tend to work best. Patience is very important when you are house breaking yourpuppy. There will be accidents; they just can't be avoided. Thekey is consistency. Take the puppy out regularly. Praise herwhen she is good. Scold her when she is bad. Some canlearn very quickly and some take a little longer. Eitherway, you will become best friends and you will enjoy a long,happy, accident-free time with your potty trained puppy! About the author:Chris W.
