Puppy Potty Pees and Poos!

Could you say it? Haha

Here are the top 5 tips for toilet training your puppy.

Before we get into that though. Did you know, by using puppy pads for your puppy to go to the toilet, you are actually teaching them it's okay to go to the toilet indoors! You should train them to go outside as soon as possible.

Right, let's get straight to it! In reverse order:

5. Don’t punish your puppy for going to the toilet where they shouldn’t. It’s not their fault you weren’t watching when they did it.

4. Consider a crate. Puppies generally won’t want to soil their own beds . Just don’t leave them in there too long.

3. Use positive reinforcement when your puppy goes to the toilet where they should be. Reward with a treat straight away.

2. Watch for signs. If they start sniffing, circling or squatting, take them outside immediately.

1. Establish a routine. Take your puppy outside first thing in the morning, after their meals, after a nap and also after playtime. If you do this constantly (and outside if you haven’t already done so), they will learn quickly.

If you've had success with any training tips you want to share, by all means do so; not everything will work for your puppy, so you may need to get creative.
