Here’s a basic way to train your puppy to go do number 1 and 2 at the right place. In potty training your puppy, exert lots and lots of patience! Be understanding! Expect that your puppy won’t get the trick right away, and that you may be in for a couple of accidents! Compliment your puppy and reward him or her if he’s done a good job! Do not punish your puppy harshly if he doesn’t get it right away! Remember, patience is key!

Feed your puppy the same time each day so that his bathroom breaks become regular as well. Feed your dog around 2 to 3 times a day!

As soon as your puppy is done eating, take him to a grassy area. Now say, ” go potty” or “go in the grass” before and while puppy is doing his business. As I mentioned earlier, praise your puppy after he is done! If you train your puppy in this manner, he will associate your words with going potty. When he is used to it, he can be encouraged to go do potty when you command!

This is important so that you run into less accidents when you take your puppy on long trips, or different locations. Also, it will lessen the chancs of your puppy making an accident inside your home.

Train your puppy in a place where the waste can be easily cleaned up and disposed of. Worms can stay near fecal matter and can make your dog, as well as children sick too!
