Buying a new puppy is always an exciting time for a family. Puppies are so fun and adorable that everyone loves them. They quickly become part of the family and everyone enjoys the playing, the curiosity and the sweet cuddliness but nobody likes it when they go potty in the house. Puppy potty training is probably the most difficult and likely the only real problem that goes with owning a new puppy but if you are going to be a contented dog owner you will need to know that your puppy house training is efficiently done.
One of the most crucial thing to remind yourself of and to be wary of is that your puppy is still just a baby. He does not yet have the ability to control his elimination habits or to know what you are wanting him to do when you tell him to go potty. You must have patience and work with him closely for a couple of weeks before he develops the ability to ask you when it is time to go out and to manage his bladder and other functions.
At Twelve weeks of age a puppy will have to go outside as often as every 15-20 minutes and even more if he is actively frolicking. A quietly resting or sleeping puppy will not have to go out quite as often so during the night you can give him more time usually if he is sound asleep. You should not wake up a sleeping puppy just make sure to take him out to potty as soon as he awakens.
Consistency is the most important aspect of puppy house training. Be consistent in taking him out on his leash to the same spot every time. Be consistent about using the same commands such as "potty now" every time. As well as be consistent with your abundant praise and special treats when he does a good job.
Should you make the potty training a positive experience for your pup your house training will be finished sooner. Which means that you will need to be patient and loving even when there is an accident. All you have to take him outside and praise him when he does it right and don't give it any attention when he manages to do it wrong. Your puppy wants to make you happy so it is crucial that you do not do anything that will confuse him.
It really is doubtful that you will be able to spend all of your time with your puppy so when you need to be away from your dog you should use a crate. Puppies and dogs are natural den animals and they like to have a small place of their own. Additionally, puppies will rarely dirty their own space so a crate will assist you in teaching your puppy how to control him or her self.
Keeping a positive atmosphere and consistency will be the most important aspects of your puppy house training. Make certain you are consistently taking your puppy outdoors, that you consistently take him to the same spot and that you consistently give him praise and treats for a job well done. If you make the whole puppy house training experience a positive one for your puppy you will have success more quickly and it will be more effective.
It should take a few short weeks to complete your puppy house breaking. Doing it right will serve you for the whole time that you own your dog so be consistent and positive and you'll be able to enjoy many happy years with your pup. - 31845
