If you have a puppy and you want information on potty training puppies, you have come to the right place.
In this day and age, many people go off to work each day and therefore are not home for at least eight hours.
Should this stop these people from considering ownership of a puppy? Certainly not.
It is possible for you to own a puppy and properly train him not to eliminate in the house even if you are not around during the day.
If you speak to anyone who knows about potty training a puppy, they will likely tell you that there is a learning curve of about two weeks for pups to learn to potty in a designated area.
This means that you must work with your pup during this time in order to train him to go only in the area you designate.
You may be wondering how you will do this if you are not home.
The fact is that when potty training puppies, it is best if you are around so that you can take your pup out every few hours.
However, if you are not available during the day, perhaps you can find someone to come by and let him out at least once.
The rest of the time, you should confine him to an area in your home that is safe.
Remove anything that he could possibly get hold of and chew up.
Then, place some special scented pads in a corner for the pup to use when he needs to go.
Perhaps try this when you are home, and then praise him for using the pads.
Puppies want to please their owners, and they respond well to praise and affection.
Again, in order to successfully master potty training a puppy, you need to designate a place for the pup to relieve himself.
If necessary, it can be on a pad inside.
However, the pup needs to realize that going outside is the method that you prefer.
If you are away most of the day, it will probably take a little longer to train him, however, don't lose patience because it can be done.
