There are a lot of unusual ways to potty train a puppy. One choice
for house training your puppy is to train him to pee or poop in the puppy pads.
Instructing him to potty on a pad is extremely related to teaching him to ease on
newspapers. Instead of newspapers you will be using training pads intended for
its use.
Where you will put
the pads
You must always put the pads in the spot you have selected for
him to use. Preferably, this will be a limited area to potty so he only has
smaller choice about places to go. A den, laundry room or kitchen is commonly a
fine option. Any space with a linoleum or tile base is an excellent choice because
floors of this kind are very easy to clean if he will commit an accident. You
must not put the training pads close to your dog’s eating or sleeping areas
because he will dislike it to ease himself close to those spaces. To help
maintain your floor neat you can put plastic beneath the pads to serve as safety
measure.
Always observe the
signs
Once you have set up everything you can now start use the
training pads. You will be able to do this by watching for signs or spending
time with him. As shortly as you notice the signs, quickly bring him to the
potty training pads and provide him a sound so he can relate it with the pad
such as “papers” or “potty.” You can
expect that your puppy will use the house training pads as planned. Be sure you
admire him to so that he will know that he’s doing a good thing.
Schedule for the
training
Even though he may learn that he’s supposed to use the
training pads but he still need many encouragement at first. Get your puppy to
the pad as soon as he wakes up in the morning, right after every meal, naps,
and play session. These are all times when they typically need to potty. You
must be sure also that he uses the training pads before he goes to sleep at nighttime.
Observe for accidents
Observe for signs that
he needs to reduce waste. When you notice him acting different quickly bring
him to the pad because as your puppy gets older he will develop and become more
dependable of using the pad on his own. You should also change the training
pads regularly. You must use an odor neutralizer to remove redundant odors. You
can buy these at pet stores. He will have a little accident so don’t be shocked
and prepare yourself. He is just a puppy and it is very normal for him to commit
some mistakes. If you catch him having an accident all you have to do is make a
loud noise to shock him and allow him discover that he is in wrong manners. Bring
him to the training pads and persuade him to finish there. If you discover an
accident after it’s already happen, just allow it. Puppies have a little awareness
and punishing him for something that’s already happened is not effective. As an
alternative, take the blame to yourself and be aware for the signs more
carefully next time. Other small breed dogs might be harder to potty train so
you must exert extra patient with them. If they commit accidents just continue
to train them back to the training pads. Just believe with him he should
eventually get an idea and will learn from you. Large kind of puppies can able
to learn to use the training pads but they prefer to go outside to ease
themselves if you give them a choice. Potty training with puppy pads isn’t very
difficult but it does take determination on your part.
