Everyone loves a doe-eyed golden-haired puppy, who doesn't? You bring them home and everyone is vying for the most puppy time. Then after a few weeks when you need to house train the little guy you look around and nobody is there. Yes, it's time for the less than popular puppy potty training. If you're a new dog owner, potty training will launch you into the unfamiliar and often rewarding terrain of canine training. You may not like parts of it, but generally it's a pretty exciting journey. Read on to get great puppy training tips anyone can use. Understand that the young puppy has limitations that are not his fault. One of them is the inability of controlling bodily wastes well for long periods of time. There will be a couple of nights wherein you will need to wake up twice to bring him out to his toilet spot. This may be a little irritating but do not rush the puppy to go when he is not ready yet. What is important is setting of good habits he will carry as he grows older. Have a schedule for the pup's feeding and drinking times each day. Keep this routine consistently so his body is trained to retain the particular time he needs to eliminate. You can take the dog out to do his toilet duties early in the morning and late at night. Take the puppy out to his designated spot and repeat a phrase you want him to associate with potty like go potty. Maybe it's not that creative, but it gets the job done. Immediately after successfully eliminating, reward the puppy with enthusiastic accolades and a treat. Play with him for a few minutes before walking back indoors. The puppy should realize that 'going potty' at that particular spot was a pleasant and satisfying experience for him. After an hour go back to the spot and wait to see if he wants to do it a second time. Establishing good habits is the most important thing in puppy potty training. Good. Now the puppy knows that going outside is what he needs to do when he wants to discharge. Now it is time to teach him how to ask permission to go out. You will need a rope, a bell and a bag of patience for this. Attach the bell at the end of the rope and hang it by the door. When you take him out for toilet activities, nudge the bell and say go potty out loud. Do this for around two weeks; at the end of this time, go to the door with him after meal times and say go potty and refrain from jingling the bell. If the puppy touches the bell praise him enthusiastically. If not, guide him to push the bell as you say go potty. Repeat this pattern every potty break. The puppy will catch on soon enough and when he does, reward him with treats or praises for doing so. Soon, your pet will comprehend and touch the bell when he needs to go do his business outside. That's it. When done patiently and without fail, these puppy training tips should have gotten the potty training box checked off in your to-do list easily. Now that's that, you're on to the next leg of your puppy adventure! About the Author: Geraldine Dimarco enjoys watching puppy training tips that has helped her tremendously in raising her dogs.
