Article Title: Puppy Potty Training - How To Potty Train A
Puppy
Author: Amber Lowery
One of the first hings you do with a new puppy is get your new
puppy potty trained. Thankfully, potty training your puppy
doesn't have to be that hard. This article will show you some
tips on potty training your puppy.
First, you need to understand that puppies are like babies and
they simply make mistakes because they don't know better and
can't understand their urges. Your puppy doesn't mean to ruin
your good carpet; he simply doesn't know that he has to go
potty.
A puppy's ability to feel the urge to go potty develops as they
age, much like children. You can help your puppy potty train
faster by developing a schedule for your puppy to follow. Take
the puppy out to go potty at the same times every day to allow
the puppy to become accustomed to a schedule.
Especially if you are not always home during the day, you can
expect there to be accidents while you puppy is potty training.
You can help minimize the mess by putting down newspapers for
the puppy to relieve himself on, but it will take additional
training for the puppy to know this is for emergencies. When
accidents happen, don't get angry - just clean up and disinfect
the area.
You can learn to notice some of the signs that your puppy needs
to be taken out for a potty trip. When you see your puppy
acting up in a certain way, it may be time to take them out to
relieve themselves.
Here are some signs that a puppy needs to go potty:
* Showing Restlessness
* Sniffing at a spot they had previously soiled
* Puppy is Whimpering and wining
* Puppy is distracted from play
As each puppy is different, you will soon learn to recognize
the signs in your dog. When your puppy starts to show this
potty signal it is time to take them out for a walk and direct
them to go in the place you want them to use.
When your puppy does good, remember to praise him. Praise
displays to the puppy that they have done the right thing and
will make them happy to do it again to seek more praise.
Although potty training your puppy can be dificult, it is just
a matter of being consistent and patient with your new puppy
long enough for their minds and bladders to mature and train.
With patience and time, your puppy will potty train and
accidents will be a problem of the past.
