House training puppies can be quite difficult in the beginning stages. It’s best to take it day by day, because training puppies is quite a challenge to have as a pet. Of course, there will be days when you feel very frustrated that your puppy’s training is taking longer than you expected.
Do not give up! I’ve provided some very helpful tips below to help put you on the fast track to having a well-behaved pup trained like a pro! If you haven’t had the success you hoped for, add these important tips to your strategy for improving your training methods.
leash training
Leash training is very important. You need to start your leash training the right way. It is best to use a short leash in the early stages of training to prevent him from wandering and becoming distracted while you are taking him for a walk. Some owners may notice that some puppies are shy when they have to relieve themselves. Sometimes it’s better to look the other way and let them mind their business.
Potty training schedules
Potty training is important, especially if you have a mat. Most dogs tend to relieve themselves at the same time every day. The time is usually when they first get up, about 15-20 minutes after each meal or drink, after playing, and just before bed. Take the urge when your pup is eliminating so he can bring you to the brakes to go potty at the right time.
time and patience
Understand that house training puppies is a bit tricky and requires time and patience. If you can take a week off to really focus on your house training methods, your time and patience will be rewarded with a well-trained and well-mannered pup. Honestly, the hardest part of home training is being patient.
crate training puppies
Puppy crate training is a new style of puppy training and is arguably quite popular. House training puppies is when you keep your puppy in a crate during the day you are housetraining him and only take him out every 2-3 hours when it is time for him to go potty.
If you take your puppy outside and he doesn’t do anything, put him back in the crate and repeat the same process 15-20 minutes later. By repeating this process daily, your puppy will resist coming home and your chances of getting him to do what you want will be much better.
Keep an eye on your pup
When you are house training puppies, it is very important that you pay attention to what your pup is doing at all times to avoid accidents. This is a key mistake that many pet owners forget to make. Remember that any time your puppy has an accident and you weren’t there to prevent it, that’s another missed opportunity to housetrain your puppy. If you pay close attention, you can easily spot when your pup is about to have an accident.
