What Should I Know About Puppy Potty Training

SOME DOGS WILL REFUSE
when they’re taken out at designated
times. If after ten or so minutes you can’t
get the puppy to use the bathroom, place it
in its crate for about fifteen minutes and try
again.
TO GO
You probably need to aim for visits outside
every two hours, and note your puppy’s
schedule. They will gradually be able to
hold more in their bladders and bowels,
but at first they won’t be able to hold much.
Make sure not to keep the puppy waiting
as you observe this schedule.
As the dog becomes more reliable, you
can lengthen time between visits outdoors.
It’s important not to scream at your puppy
if it has an accident, and remember if the
accident occurred when you weren’t
watching, the puppy isn’t likely to
remember it. If you catch your dog “in the
act” simply take them outdoors and use a
word like “No” to remind them that all
bathroom business is conducted outside.
Dogs that are routinely stressed out due to
owners shouting may have a harder time
mastering potty training.
