From Piddle to Perfection: 5 Witty Tips for Potty Training Your Pup
Ahoy, fellow dog lovers!
If you’ve recently welcomed a furry little friend into your home, you might be wondering how to get them to use the bathroom in the right place.
Fear not, as I, Devin George, am here to impart some tips and tricks on how to potty train your puppy in no time!
Tip #1: Start Early
As soon as you bring your little furball home, start potty training right away.
This way, your pup will develop good habits from the get-go and won’t get confused about where they’re supposed to go.
Puppies have small bladders and need to go frequently, so don’t wait until they’ve already had an accident to start training.
Tip #2: Be Consistent
Consistency is key when it comes to potty training.
Decide on a designated spot outside for your pup to use the bathroom and take them there every time they need to go.
Use a command such as “go potty” or “do your business” to help your pup associate the action with the words.
And don’t forget to reward your pup with treats and praise when they do their business in the right spot!
Tip #3: Keep a Schedule
Dogs thrive on routine, so try to establish a consistent potty schedule.
Take your pup outside first thing in the morning, after meals, and before bedtime.
If you have a busy day ahead, consider hiring a dog walker to take your pup out during the day.
It’s important to be patient and not rush your pup during potty breaks, as they need time to sniff around and find the perfect spot.
Tip #4: Watch for Signs
Learn to recognize when your pup needs to go potty.
They may start sniffing around, circling, or whining.
When you see these signs, take your pup outside immediately to their designated spot.
If you catch your pup having an accident inside, don’t scold or punish them.
Simply interrupt the behavior with a loud noise, like clapping your hands, and take them outside to finish.
Tip #5: Be Prepared
Accidents will happen, especially during the early stages of potty training.
Be prepared with cleaning supplies and odor eliminators to quickly clean up messes and prevent your pup from returning to the same spot.
And don’t give up if your pup has a setback or two – potty training takes time and patience, but with consistency and positive reinforcement, your pup will eventually learn where to go.
