Dogs act mainly from habits that have been developed over a period of time and that fact can help you as a dog owner. As the dog owner, you need to install the habits of your choice. Don’t let your pet create his own habits that you might not appreciate. Your puppy has limitations that you need to be aware of. Since his bladder is so small, he has to urinate frequently. Understanding and patience will help you deal with your puppy’s limitations.
Don’t scream at your puppy when he has an accident. Patience is a virture when it comes to training puppies. If your puppy has an accident on the living room carpet, be gentle with him. Tell him “no” in a gentle way. Then pick him up and place him where you do want him to go potty. Then tell him to go potty in that place in your own words.
You would be wise to purchase a crate for your puppy to sleep in since he won’t want to soil his bed. Playpens can also be used for training purposes.
Be aware that there are certain times when your new pal is more likely to want to relieve himself. First thing in the morning is one of the times when your puppy will need to relieve himself. Right after eating is one of the main times your new puppy will want to relieve himself. Be sure to take your puppy to his designated toilet area before he goes to bed at night. Play time will probably activate your puppy’s urge to relieve himself.
Your new pet needs close supervision. If he goes potty on his own outside, be sure to praise him immediately. If he should go potty inside the house, you need to gently but sternly let him know that isn’t the right place to go. Be sure to praise your puppy when he does go in the correct place. He really needs your approval.
How can you tell when your puppy is sending signals that he needs to go potty right away. Wandering off, sniffing and circling are signs that your puppy is ready to relieve himself. Maybe he’ll go and stand at the door.
Patience and kindness goes a long way in dog training. Be sure to spend time training your new pal to urinate or deficate where you have chosen for him to go. The time and effort you put into training your new pal will be worth it when he knows the right time and place to relieve himself.
