Puppy Housetraining Made Easy

Potty Training For Your Puppies
By Andrew Orcullo

Potty training is required to curb the problems that usually spring up as you adopt a pet dog. By giving it a proper training you can teach it to go outside from home or to go to an allotted in-house place whenever it would want to clear its bowel or bladder. Thus you can train it to maintain a particular place, rather than using any place inside your residence. Here are few tips on how can you train your puppy -

a) Don't think of the potty training process as an unpleasant side of having a pet dog. It will be better if you consider it as your duty - and your first approach in developing a good attachment with your pet. Once you are accustomed with the process, you will find it easy. Thus it will definitely help you to build a healthy rapport with your pet.

b) The right time to start this training is when you bring the puppy to home. Introduce the training process right after it becomes acquainted with the new surroundings. But do not forget that they will need time to adjust to your routine.

c) While offering it the food, always keep a consistent feeding schedule. Do not waver too much from the usual time of serving food. A routine is immensely important for your pet. This will also help to maintain a fixed time for potty.

d) After your pet is done with his meal, take it outside for a walk. It will be better if you can take it for a stroll after each meal, for at least ten to fifteen minutes. If you want to play with him, then also wait for him to finish "doing his business" first.

e) If your dog does not potty in fifteen minutes of such strolls, then bring it back and take it out again after fifteen minutes.

f) Play with it right after it completes the job. It will work as an award.

g) Keep him inside rooms that have an easily cleaned floor. This will make life easier on you, until he is properly trained.

Just taking your pets outside will not help you to train it properly. Let it know why it is taken outside and show your understanding to build its good habits.
