Three Steps in Potty Training a Puppy

This is different from puppy to puppy so watch the amount of time it takes your puppy to do it's business after a full meal.

2. Take the potty training inside or outside - Decide if you want your puppy to do its business in your house or out of doors. Remember, what's important is what's convenient for you because you can go either way. It does not make a difference if you are potty training puppies indoors or out of doors you still need to clean up after it.

3. Paper or plastic - If you're going to train your puppies to do its business indoors then you need a liberal amount of newspaper and scent spray which is available in most pet stores.

a. Put down layers of newspapers whenever your puppy needs to relieve itself lay and spray a small amount of odour spray on it.

b. Restrict the puppy within the newspaper covered area and wait until it relieves itself. Immediately after it does, let your puppy smell the scent on the newspaper.

c. Repeat b until your puppy gets used to the newspaper or the scent it will look for either of the two next times it needs to relieve itself.

You can train the puppy to do its business outdoors by simply taking it out for a walk. Your puppy will eventually find a location after a while and assume the position. Remember to clean up after your puppy. After a while, your puppy gets used to this method, he/she will give signs of needing and wanting to go out doors when it feels the need to do its business.

And there you have it three sure fire easy steps for potty training puppies. It's not expensive; it doesn't take a university degree, not even awkwardly over-priced tools - just some good old patience.
