Potty Training Tips for Your New Puppy

Potty Training Tips for Your New Puppy

When bringing home a new puppy, teaching them where to go potty should be your top priority. Many owners struggle with accidents in the house, but it’s important to remember—your puppy simply hasn’t been taught yet.

Effective potty training tips:

Set a potty spot: Choose a designated area with pee pads or absorbent materials.

Know the timing: Puppies need to go after waking up, eating, or playing. Take them to the spot during these times.

Reward success: Praise or give treats when your puppy goes in the right place—this builds positive association.

Don’t punish mistakes: Clean up thoroughly and keep training. Yelling only makes puppies fearful or sneakier.

Potty training can take days to weeks depending on your dog’s age and breed. Patience and consistency are key—your efforts will pay off!
