At around three weeks old, your puppy is readily able to adapt to new situations and because they are one of the smartest creatures by nature, potty training puppies will not be too difficult for anyone.

When you're a new pet owner, you can make a choice about whether or not you want to confine your puppy. Most puppy parents prefer to use a crate to prevent accidents at night or when they have to go away for a period of time. However, some people would want to train their puppy to become more responsible by giving the dog access to everything but with limitations and restrictions. This may sound a little harder than the other considering their playful behavior and uncontrollable urges, but if you choose to apply this, here are the tips you may consider:

It's possible to teach your puppy to eliminate outside or inside on papers. Nevertheless, whichever method you choose, you have to be very consistent. You can utilize newspaper training for a short while or until your pup is learning to go potty in the right spot inside or outside your house, but you need to teach the puppy step-by-step until it eventually masters his or her business routines.

Whether outdoor or indoor, you have to designate a spot for his potty time. Have your puppy sniff that spot and wait until it finally done its business and take it to the exact same place each time. The remaining scent will help remind him or her to use that location the next time he or she needs to do its business.

For young pups, take them out on a leash or carry them to the specific spot within twenty minutes or immediately after each meal, after play sessions, and after a rest period. Keeping on schedule is the main key to effectivly house train a puppy so remember, you have to stay consistent. Use the same routine every day and be sure to watch for the indications that your puppy needs to go potty.

Each and every time your puppy goes potty, give it a command such as "go pee" or "go potty" to build an link between the command and its potty break. Repeat it quietly as often as it's necessary until your pup gets familiar with it. By doing this, it will be easy for your puppy to understand and follow the same command when its given next time.

When potty training puppies, you can expect that there would always be mistakes and accidents. A puppiy can be just like a baby because they can't tell if they need to go potty or not. Be sure to watch out for the warning signs such as sniffing or squatting and then immediately distract the puppy by clapping your hands or stamping your foot while directing them from the restricted zone.

Finally, praise your puppy with an encouraging words like "good puppy" or "good job" when he performs in the right spot. Let him know you are delighted by giving small rewards or privileges like allowing him to play inside your room. As soon as he or she becomes more responsible and dependable, you can let the puppy move around the house freely.
