New pet owners will have to house train their puppy shortly after arriving home.
Try not to look at this as a burden.
House training is easy and can be done fairly quickly.
Start immediately upon arriving home with your new pup.
It takes a little longer to retrain a puppy that has already established bad habits.
Always keep a positive attitude when training your pet.
Keeping a positive attitude is one of the most important things to remember when you house train puppy.
Don't scold your pup for making a mistake, this can cause them to become scared of you, (then they start to run off and hide when they have to potty, which can lead to them establishing a bad habit).
Instead, let your pup know that you are displeased with what they have done by firmly saying "no.
" The best way to house train puppy is to establish a routine and stick to it.
Dog's are creatures of habit and will follow a schedule quickly.
Schedule your pups bedtime and wake time, naps, and meals.
Don't forget to take your puppy out often.
Puppies have small bladders and can't hold it for long, therefore, giving them the chance to potty often outside can help eliminate the need to go inside.
If you allow puppy to go outside often, they will start to hold it when out, because they know they will get the chance to go in a little while.
When you take your puppy out, go with them and give them a lot of praise when they go.
Let them know that you are pleased with what they have done.
