So, you’ve just brought home a brand new puppy. Congratulations!
One of the most important (and often annoying) things to effectively train your pup on is how to use the toilet.
But lucky for you!
In this blog post, we will cover how to set your puppy up for toilet training success. 
SET UP
It means having a designated area where they can relieve themselves and having potty training supplies.
Plus, it’s essential to pick an easily accessible location that they can get to quickly.
Once you’ve decided on a spot, put down a piece of turf or artificial grass to make things easier for your pup (and avoid any messes!).
If you’re using treats, give your pup a few every time they successfully use the toilet as a form of reward.
Once everything is set up, it’s time to start training your puppy!
ROUTINES
If you stick with it consistently, you can make your puppy effortlessly learn when it’s time to use the toilet.
- Take them to the toilet at specific times of the day and reward them for triumphant bathroom breaks.
- Feed your pup at the same time each day and provide them with plenty of water.
- Take your pup out on a regular schedule. You can do it first thing in the morning, after meals, after playing, and before bedtime.
- Make sure to take them to the same spot each time and use the same command.
- If you’re using a bell, ring it each time you take your pup out, so they know it’s time to go.
And again, always reward your pup with treats or praise when they successfully use the toilet.
Be patient! It may take some time for your dog to get used to the new routines, but eventually, they’ll catch on!
PLAYTIME
In addition to establishing routines, it’s also essential to give your pup plenty of playtime.
Plus, when they’re worn out from playing, they’re less likely to have accidents in the house.
Not only will your pup be happier and better behaved, but you’ll also have one less thing to worry about during toilet training.
INDOOR TOILET USE
“How do you stop a puppy from peeing and pooping in the house?”
The best way to start is by putting a potty pad in the designated toilet spot and encouraging your pup to use it.
It can be a little more challenging than outdoor toilet training, but it’s absolutely doable with some patience and consistency.
If they have an accident outside of the potty pad area, don’t scold them – simply clean it up and continue trying.
Eventually, your pup will get the hang of using the toilet indoors!
So, there you have it!
