Dogs are naturally clean animals that will not willingly soil their sleeping areas. They enjoy the routine of urinating in specific places. As a dog owner you can determine where these should be, initially on newspaper or puppy pads in the home and then later restricted to an area outdoors. Dog poop is unpleasant and can be a health hazard. You should always clean up after your puppy goes.
House Training on Paper or Puppy Pads :
After eating, drinking, playing, or walking up, a dog will need to go peep or pooh. Puppies need to relieve themselves every few hours, so you will proably have a few accidents until your dog is fully house broken.
Sniffing the ground is often a sign that your puppy has to go potty. Some puppies do both sniff and race around at the same time. You really have to watch them because it can be mistaken for play or exploring. You will only have a few second to intervene and place the puppy in the designated place.
Quickly pick up the puppy and place it on the paper or pad. Keep a piece of soil paper or pad along with the fresh supply to provide the puppy with its own order to help it know where to go next time.
Praise your puppy after its gone to the bathroom. Never discipline a puppy after it has had an accident on the floor, and never put it’s nose in the mess either! Both actions are valueless and will make your puppy scared of you.
Here is video from Drs Froster & Smith on a puppy pad they offer.
An older dog can be trained to relieve itself outside. Learn to recognized the warning signs so that you know when it has to be let out. In time, going outside to relieve itself will become a regular habit for the puppy.
Encourage the puppy to sue a remote area for its toilet. A puppy is more likely to pee where it has soiled before
Having found the right place, the puppy pees. Dog pee is acidic and burns your grass, leaving brown patches. Train the puppy to go when and where you want it to.
