Pet Potty Pads

Those that think the right way to potty train a puppy is to yell at it when it goes in the house and stick their faces in it, are doing more harm than good.

And this type of puppy potty training technique actually trains your puppy to hide from you before going potty. That’s why you hear about all those people who wonder why their dog pees behind the couch, or some other obscure place.

I personally used a special treat that my puppy only got when he went potty on his pet potty pads. The first puppy potty training tip is to realize that rewarding your puppy for going potty in the desired place, usually the back yard, gets him a BIG reward.

Puppy potty training sessions should be a positive experience for your puppy. If the puppy has an accident, which is unavoidable, don’t take it out on yourself or your puppy.

Wait for your puppy to finally go potty, and then give him his reward – The one that you only reserve for successful puppy potty training sessions! The instant you see this behavior, quickly and calmly take your puppy to the back door and give the cue “Go Potty!”

This means that you’ll need to watch your puppy very closely for warning signs that he has to go potty. Usually they’ll start sniffing around in circles, and it’s often right after eating or drinking water… especially when the puppy is still young. Soon your dog will start looking forward to going potty in one spot because she realizes she gets that treat again.
