Potty Training your Dog

Potty training is one of the many things people neglect when it comes to their pets. Having a dog around require care and attention from time to time of course you should already be aware of this if you had taken in your first puppy. And early training is a necessity when it comes to teaching your pet to behave the way you want it to. Potty training is one of the tasks you have to attend to as a master. Surely you don’t want your pet to just leave something gross lying around worse over your expensive carpet.
There are many approaches to potty training your puppy. Whatever you choose it’s best to start early. Try to keep your puppy on a crate or enclosure wide enough for it to roam and stretch and always keep an eye on him. Place a newspaper on one corner which will serve as a litter box. Whenever you see your puppy about to “go” place him on the newspaper and left him finish there. Do this every time you see him doing his thing and be patient. Of course some accidents are always unavoidable since your puppy is still a baby.
Don’t hit your puppy, they don’t respond well to violence. Give him a reward if he goes on his own. Once your puppy gets accustomed to the newspaper training you can try to move the news paper outside and place it somewhere you feel appropriate you two should live happily. Just remember, be patient and your efforts will yield a healthy relationship between you and your beloved pooch.
