As dog owners, we don’t want to have our dogs go potty around the house or on our garden. It is not only messy and disgusting; it is also a way for bacteria to spread. Feces are full of bacteria that can make us sick.

Children are the most vulnerable so keeping the dog trained is important.

There are many good ways to potty train a puppy. Like babies, they can’t hold their feces, nor do they know where to properly poop. They have to be trained in the right way.

It is important to note the age of the puppy. As early as possible, we should be able to teach them how to poop properly. Training becomes more difficult as they get older, since they are starting to develop bad habits.

The best way to potty train a puppy is giving it positive reinforcement every time it poops in the right place. This means that you should always praise the dog and reward it with food or just a hug.

Punishments are not really recommended; because this might affect the way your puppy sees you. Instead of loving you unconditionally, it might be afraid and less anxious to see you.

But as your puppy gets older, slowly lessen the rewards and praises, lest it becomes too used to them.

Another good way of potty training a puppy is by placing him in a crate. This discourages any puppy from having a poop, since the crate is its living area.

We should be aware though, of the signs when our puppy is ready to go potty. If the puppy starts to whine and scratch the crate, it’s a sign that he wants to go. Place him in the proper area and tell him to go potty.

But we should have the right size for a crate. Having a big one will be ineffective, because it will just potty in a corner and still be able to enjoy his living area.

We should learn to feed our puppies at a consistent time every day. This will let the puppies go potty at the same time. After a while, we should be able to notice its schedule so we don’t always have to watch it. If he seems to go potty while not being in the proper area, we should determinedly say “No,” then put him in the right place.

Pay attention to the breed of dog you have; it also plays a significant part of training. Smaller breed of dogs are harder to train, since they have a smaller bladders. Knowing this will enable the owners to look up possible problems and solutions to it.

All dog owners know how hard it is to potty train a puppy. But we have to be patient with our dogs. They are cute and very adorable. They give us love and companionship every time we need it.

The only thing we have to do is feed and train them. That’s really a small price to pay with everything our pets give us.
