To housebreak a new puppy, you can follow these steps:

  1. Establish a routine: Take your puppy outside to the same spot consistently after meals, naps, and playtime.

  2. Use positive reinforcement: Praise and reward your puppy with treats when they go potty outside.

  3. Supervise and limit freedom: Keep an eye on your puppy at all times indoors and consider crate training when you can't supervise.

  4. Clean up accidents properly: Use an enzyme-based cleaner to remove the scent of accidents and prevent repeat incidents.

  5. Be patient and consistent: Housebreaking takes time and consistency, so be patient with your puppy and stick to the routine.
