Patience and determination are the traits that you will have to have during the beginning stages of house training a puppy. For your efforts to pay off, it will take time and consistent habits. Don't get worried because it can be done. Although you can't keep an eye on the puppy all day long, there are still steps you can take to accomplish the desired results.
Oh no, they pooped on the floor. Don't be alarmed in the early developmental stages because they won't have control of their bowel movement and bladder. The more they eat, the frequency increases.
Let's start with securing a nice area in the home for the dog to call their home. This should be a secured area with paper covering the floor. You will also want to put their water, food, bed, and any of their play toys in the same area so they'll be comfortable. When it's time to wet, they won't do it on the bed or in the water or food.
This is a great way to start training. The dog will start to use the paper somewhere away from the places he enjoys or that are comforting to him. Finally, they will find a spot that they will always do it in. This will be their own self-discovered personal bathroom.
After the dog has consistently used the bathroom in their own designated place in their secluded habitat, they will be ready for phase two of the training. Let them have the run of the home. Before you do, put paper in various places around the house and take the puppy to each one. Let the canine out of the secluded area after they have singled out a place in their habitat to use the restroom. Once they do it on the floor, put their nose close to it, as they are sensitive to the scent, then take them to the paper.
Before you know it, your canine will get accustomed to using the paper. Once they do, move it to various areas in the house to train your dog to find the paper and use it regardless of the location. When they use the paper properly on a consistent basis, reward them for their excellent learning abilities and behavior. This is the first phase of the successful completion of your dog's training. Do you see how easy house training a dog can be?
The final stage in training is to teach your dog how to go potty outside instead of inside. This is relatively simple based on the fact that dogs love to go outside and sniff around. Begin by placing papers near the doors leading to the back of your home.
When the puppy goes potty on the paper as they have been trained to do, put their nose near it, and point to the door. Then open the door and take the dog out. Dogs enjoy the outdoors so it should not be that hard to repeat these steps and help your canine realize that they need to use the bathroom outdoors. It is that simple. A little time and consistency is needed in order for potty training a dog to achieve positive results.
