There is one thing that you will need to realize before we move onto the important parts of potty training puppies. This is that a puppy or dog does not use a potty or a toilet to do its business. So, they will opt to take their business outside.

You have to remember that there are many different types or breeds of dogs. The training of your dog depends on the breed you have. Some dogs learn quicker than others, and some dogs are easier to potty train than others. If you have a choice as to the pup you get, make sure you do your research. Learn how to train a specific breed, and how to best handle it.

There is one very important thing you want to keep in mind before you get started with the training process. You should not get upset with your dog. They are a bit like children, in that they always want to play, eat and get a lot of attention. So, if he does not get it right the first time around, be calm and try again later.

Step one - The first and most important part of the potty training puppies process, is that you should have a good schedule. You do not want your puppy to get confused with what you are doing. Dogs are good time keepers, just like babies. If you wake a dog at a certain time every morning to do its business, it will start to wake up on time every morning.

Secondly - Accidents happen, so it is better if you keep your dog in a place where he cannot do too much damage to carpets or rugs. The best place for a dog in the training process is always in a tiled room.

The Third Step - Many people decide to let their dog do its business outside; it is a more natural thing to do. If you however feel that you do not want your doggy getting cold outside at night - inside is perfect too.

The Fourth Step - Remember to keep one area designated for the dogs business. It is like humans, you do not play where you do your business. This means you will need to be with the dog in the initial stages of the training. Keep the dog on a leash and make sure that you take the dog to that spot all of the time.

Always Remember - If the dog does nothing for the first few times of taking him or her to the "toilet spot", do not play with him. You want to make it known that going to the toilet is important. So, if it does not happen, take him back inside and confine him to his sleeping area. - 31841
