Potty train your puppy as soon as you can. Old habits will be hard to break. Puppies bring love and joy into a home. Bringing home a new puppy is almost like bringing home a new baby. It is exciting and so very cute. You want to spend every minute with it. Treat your new puppy with the same love you would with a new baby.
A new puppy will bring joy into a home. But they do often have little habits that are not too thrilling. Being unable to go potty outside will take some work. Puppies are not potty trained from birth. And it is not a something that they develop on their own either. It needs to be trained. They do not know that peeing inside the house is wrong. Cats are born knowing how to use a litter box. Puppies are not.
Young puppies have a weaker bladder and they will easily make accidents. Be patient. They are just like babies. In order to develop a routine such as going outside, the other daily activities in the puppy's life has to be routine. Have him eat around the same time, sleep and wake up around the same time every day. This makes it easier for the puppy's potty training process to kick things into gear.
When he starts to do his business inside, tell him in a firm voice, "No." You might want to try to gently carry him outside and allow him to finish doing his business. Do not yell at him or spank him. But do let him know that he should not be doing that.
Be observant of your puppy. Watch for things like sniffing around. If he starts to stop whatever it is that he is doing and begins to sniff around, watch out! That is a sign that he is looking for a place to do his deed. Whenever he starts doing this, tell him to stop and carefully lift him outside. Let him finish his business outside.
The whole potty training process should take approximately two to three weeks. If your puppy has not mastered the routine, consult with your veterinarian or obedience instructor for any help.
During the progress, when your puppy begins to go outside to do his business, it is important that you acknowledge it. Praise him. He will know when you are proud of him. Give him a treat to let him know that you are pleased. You will get further with positive responding than strict and harsh scolding. Severe punishment will only make your puppy scared of you and see you as a mean person.
