Three Steps in Potty Training a Puppy
1. Schedule the meals to influence the call of nature - There is a certain amount of time a puppies digestive system takes to complete its cycle and get from meal to waste. This is different from puppy to puppy so watch the amount of time it takes your puppy to do it's business after a full meal. You might need several monitoring sessions to determine the average amount of time required but once that's established you can proceed to step two.
2. Will you potty train inside or out - Make a decision about whether you want your puppy to do its business in doors or out of doors. Keep in mind that what is important is what is convenient to you because you can go either way. It does not make a difference if you are potty training puppies indoors or out of doors you still need to clean up after it.
3. Plastic or paper - If you're going to train your puppy to do its business inside, then you need a good amount of newspaper and scent spray which you'll find in most pet stores.
a. Whenever your puppy needs to relieve itself lay down a generous stack of newspapers and spray a small amount of scent spray on it.
b. Make sure the puppy stays in the newspaper covered area and remains there until it relieves itself. Immediately after it does, let your puppy smell the scent on the newspaper.
c. Do step b again and again until your puppy gets used to the newspaper or the scent and then it will look for one or the other the next time it needs to relieve itself.
If you are training the puppy to do its business outdoors then just take it out for a walk. After a while, your pup will eventually find a spot and assume the position. Do not forget to clean up after your puppy. Eventually, when your puppy gets used to this system, he/she will display signs of wanting and needing to go outside when it feels the need to do its business.
And there you have it three sure fire easy steps for potty training puppies. There's no real expense; you don't have to be a rocket scientist, not even expensive devices - just a bit of patience.
