Potty training your puppy is something that you need to do but it can be difficult. Here are some tips from DealDash.

You have made a decision to adopt a puppy, but now you are unsure of how to train your puppy to go to the potty. A lot of people are in your situation, wondering what they should do. Most people don’t know how to potty train their puppy. You probably had a wake up call when your puppy went to potty on the carpet.  If you ever wondered how to train your puppy to use the potty here are some tips, from DealDash.

Pay Close Attention

One of the easiest ways to train your puppy is to pay attention to him. Your puppy will have certain signals when he is ready to use the potty.  Remember to make sure that you can always see your puppy. You made need to use things such as baby gates to close off the doors so he will not wander around the house and use the bathroom. If you notice that your puppy is sniffing or starting to squat carefully pick him up and take him outside.

Consistancy is Key

It is important to take your puppy outside to use the bathroom after he drinks or eats.  A puppy will have to use the bathroom each time after he eats.  When you take your puppy outside to go to the potty make sure you stand or sit with him instead of playing with him outside. Make sure that you do this every single time so he can get into a routine.

Praise Him

Giving your dog praise when he uses the bathroom can also help your puppy. Giving him a treat will let him know that he is doing a good job of going to the bathroom outside. Make sure that you act very happy and call him a “good boy” and give him lots of pets and scratches. Crate training can also be an option.

Crate Training

Puppies will learn how to hold it when they are in the crate, and that will train them to use the bathroom outside. Puppies and dogs don’t like to use the bathroom where they sleep, so be sure that when you crate him the crate is not too large. Otherwise he can use the bathroom in one end and sleep in the other.
