Puppy potty training is one of those times that you will be able
to give your puppy a treat that he really deserves and loves. Now most
people will want their puppy to learn to use the potty outside rather
quickly. However some mistakes can be made that will not help your puppy
be potty trained quickly. Some of them are you are hurrying your dog,
you are not paying attention to your dogs behavior when he tells you he
has to go potty, or you just do not take your puppy to the proper spot
for him in your hard.
First I will cover some of the mistakes that people frequently make while potty training their puppy. The first one that I will go over is trying to speed the puppy up while he is deciding to go potty. Yes, I understand that some of you may say well it's snowing or raining, or cold. However, you must remember that your puppy has a fur coat on. He will not like to be hurried and that if you do hurry him while potty training your puppy it will only cause him not to go outside and then you will have an accident in your home.
The next problem that people may encounter while trying to potty train their puppy is you are not paying attention. Now like your kids or any other animal that you are potty training you will learn subtle hints from them that they have to go potty. Now take for example your kids they will typically come up and tell you that they have to go pee, or that they have to go potty. I know my son does that to me now constantly and he just began potty training. However, your dog will not be able to run up to you and tell you in words. Some dogs may bark at you, paw at you, or just look at you. Now these are all signs that your puppy is giving you that he has to go out. One thing that I did for my little puppy is I got bells that hang low enough on the back door that he can paw at them and get them to ring so I know he has to go out. This could work for you and your puppy.
One of the problems that took me the longest time figuring out while I was potty training my puppy was finding the proper spot. Now this may seem kind of odd to you, but from my experience in potty training my puppies they all seemed to gravitate to a certain spot to go potty at. Each one of my puppies while potty training would go to a different spot on the yard which made it kind of difficult, but at the same time once they found that spot in the yard they go there each time. So you might have to walk your dog around your whole yard before he finally finds that one spot. That way if you are in a hurry and he is close to being fully potty trained you will have a great idea where to take him to. I know my dogs when I reach the spot they use typically go potty right away.
Now though onto how you can easily potty train your puppy. Potty training of a puppy typically requires a set routine on feeding and walking this will help get your dog used to what time it gets to go potty and help you out if you work all day or night. Another method that you can use is crate training which will help out to avoid accidents because most dogs do not like going potty in an area that they sleep in. Some of the other methods are letting them circle around you on a leash, having a lot of patience is a big one. Remember your puppy while potty training is only a baby so accidents will occur and when they do try not to get upset at your puppy, remember he is only potty training.
So the first method that I will cover for successful potty training of your puppy is setting a schedule. Now much like working we have a set time that we have to be at work your puppy will need a set time to go potty. Remember that your puppy while potty training will need a schedule that he can get used to. Another key point to remember is that while potty training your dog you have to keep doing the same thing with your dog for him to become familiar with the potty training.
Another way to manage potty training your dog is with the use of a crate. Some people may view crate training as cruel because your puppy gets put in a crate while in this stage. However, I must say that crate training saved me a tremendous amount of time. Crate training is great for potty training because most dogs do not like going potty near where they sleep. Not only that crate training will give your puppy a place of security that they can go to when life's stresses are hard for him to deal with at that moment.
One method that I actually found by accident was letting my dog circle me while he was on his leash. Now you might say that you will get tangled up while he is circling you which can happen if you are not paying attention. However, most of us will notice when a leash is being wrapped around us. Now I found this method to be quite effective at first I could not figure out what my dog was doing, but then remembered that he is potty training and let him do what he wanted. So I let him circle around me several times and actually found out that he would go potty really quickly because he found a spot to go on faster.
However, the most important thing with your puppy while he is potty training is to have patience. Patience for when he has accidents and you want to yell and scold. Patience while he is trying to find his spot in the yard and you're getting soaked or freezing will help bolster his confidence in potty training. Patience while potty training is key because your dog will sense the stress that you have while he is potty training and get nervous about potty training. So remember the key to any potty training is patience. This goes for your kids, dogs, cats, and any animal that you may get.
The methods that I suggested crate training, paying attention to my puppy while potty training, getting my puppy set on a potty training schedule, and having a lot of patience led to my puppy being potty trained. However, if I did not use these methods I am sure my puppy would not be as well potty trained as he is now. Also I know for a fact that if I did not pay attention to my puppy while potty training, hurried my puppy or did not let him find "his" spot in the yard he would not be potty trained. Hopefully your puppy will be potty trained soon so you too can enjoy a long and healthy life with a fully potty trained puppy!
