House Training A Puppy

Today’s lesson is about house training, and in particular, using paper to house train your puppy…

Many people leave paper down for a puppy as a way of house training.

Little do people know that by leaving newspaper down, they’re actually confusing their puppy no end.

Why?


Because they’re letting their puppy relieve himself inside the house, so he learns that relieving himself indoors is acceptable.

Whenever possible, you should train your puppy to relieve himself outdoors. If you must use paper indoors then follow the same crate restrictions, and let your puppy out on his newspaper.

When you take your puppy outside you should keep his attention on you by talking to him, or using an exciting toy. This will help make sure that there are no ‘accidents’ on the way. Say “Hurry up” as the puppy relieves himself, and then remember to praise him for his good behavior.

Your puppy will need to relieve himself after each main activity during his 24 hour day. For example: After sleeping, after playing, after eating and after being in his crate for awhile.
