Let’s face it. Many of us enjoy a little companion therefore, some of us keep puppies as pets. But most of us dread having pets as we may think that we are going to burden ourselves with more responsibility. Some of us think that potty training your puppy is a hassel. Let me tell you one important thing; it is best to potty train your puppy while it is still young as when you train it when it is older, you need to get rid of its old habits. These are some ways in which you can potty train your beloved puppy. Read on if you want to find out more.

We shall start by understanding the basics. One thing to note; a new-born is not ready for potty training. The ideal age would be three months.

First Rule: Remember to keep your puppy’s meal on a regular schedule. You can take your pet out after he is done with his meal. You can also take out your pet after nap, before his bedtime, or when he whimpers during the night.

Second Rule: You should only feed your puppy and give him a little water when you can take him outside after eating. As much as possible do not give water to your puppy two hours before sleeping. In this way you help prevent accidents through the night.

Third Rule: You should bring your puppy out on a leash after playing with him. This would give your puppy a hint that it’s time to relieve himself.

Fourth Rule: Always bring your puppy to the same spot, so that he could recognize the area where he should regularly eliminate.

Fifth Rule: You can use a word that would cue your puppy to relieve himself on your command. They will recognize that specific word as a command soon enough.

Last: I am sure you like to be praised. Therefore, you should reward or praise your puppy if he relieves himself outside or followed your instructions on potty training.

Accidents are bound to happen. Therefore these are the best suggestions I can offer you.

If you catch your pet relieving itself at a place it is not supposed to, firstly, you should not scream or yell. Gently nudge your pet to go outside and after this continue the reward thing by praising your puppy.

However, don’t worry. The mess won’t be around all the time. All you need to do when you pet does this is to just keep your cool and then you should just continue with the potty training. One thing to remember when you clean your pet’s waste; make sure to clean it thoroughly so that it won’t leave any smell that may induce your puppy to relieve on that same spot again. After doing this, you should put the cleaning materials outdoors. Your puppy should be able to take the hint that it should relieve itself outdoors.

So, what are you waiting for? Use this knowledge that you have acquired and put it to the test. All you need to do is to remember to stick to your schedule and soon, your puppy will get used to it.
