Puppy Potty Training Tips

Here are a few tips that have proven useful when potty training your puppy: First things first, if you can, buy your puppy from a responsible breeder, who already started the potty training. It will make your life easier!

Maintain your puppy on a schedule. Feed him at the same time every day, and try to get up and go to bed close to the same time every day while he\'s being potty trained.

Puppies need lots of water, especially if they eat dry dog food. However, while you\'re potty training, feed your puppy at least couple of hours before bedtime, and remove his water two hours before bedtime.

When you take your puppy to potty, don\'t play with him until after he does his potty business. If he doesn\'t go within the next 10 minutes, just put him in his crate for about 10 to 15 minutes, then take him to potty again. When he finished his business, praise him and reward him with a treat or short playtime. Wait a few minutes before you take him in, as sometimes puppies don\'t finish on the first go, so give him time to be sure he won\'t have to go again in three minutes!
