Puppy Potty Training Tips

House breaking Lola was really no brainer. I already made my training mistakes with other puppies and this time potty training a puppy was a breeze.

To take the new puppy home, I asked my husband’s help. He was driving while Lola was dutifully vomiting on me in the back seat.

The other animals of the house were already secured in a separate room so I could perform undisturbed my first puppy trainer act: take Lola to the designated area and let her relive herself.

After she successfully performed, we took the dogs to a neutral area outside our garden for the formal introductions.

After a light dinner we were all exhausted and ready to go to bed.

Lola went into her crate with panoramic view of mine and Zippo’s (my aging whippet) beds. To the satisfaction and delight of the whole family Lola slept quietly all night.

The crate is her safe heaven where she sleeps and rests when I can’t supervise her.

Every two hours or after a nap or playtime I take Lola to her designated spot where she has already learned to promptly perform in order to get back to the comfort of the house.

So far mistakes have been few and actually all mine for not allowing her outside at the proper time.

So here are my free puppy training tips for new puppy owners:

-Get organized before taking your puppy home

-Figure out a designated area for the puppy to relive himself

-Start puppy potty training the moment you get home

-Start puppy crate training the first night

-Take your puppy to the designated area often

-Consistence is all you need for house training a puppy successfully.
