To potty train a puppy, you can follow these steps:
-
Create a consistent schedule: Take your puppy outside frequently, especially after eating, drinking, playing, or waking up from a nap.
-
Choose a designated potty area: Take your puppy to the same spot in your yard each time so they associate that spot with going to the bathroom.
-
Reward good behavior: Praise and reward your puppy with treats when they go potty outside.
-
Supervise closely: Keep an eye on your puppy indoors and take them out immediately if they show signs of needing to go.
-
Clean up accidents properly: Use an enzymatic cleaner to remove any traces of accidents indoors to prevent your puppy from going in the same spot again.
Consistency, positive reinforcement, and patience are key when potty training a puppy.
