Puppy Training Part 1. Learn How To Potty Train A Puppy Fast With These Seven Magic Potty Training Methods by:Paul Smith

Everybody loves a puppy - until it pees on them

. Puppies are amusing, so cute, and like naughty children, best when trained to behave! They bite and chew everything, from prized furniture to your friends' toes or best shoes, and possibly most painful, ... pee all over the place! Because of this, potty training is probably the very first concern you should address when you bring home your new puppy.

Proven Puppy Potty Training Early Steps

1. Be aware. Your life has just changed forever. If you have ever brought a baby home, bringing a puppy home has similarities. That cuddly little puppy is dependent upon you for everything. The sooner you can adapt then the better life will be for everyone - you, your family, your friends, and of course, for puppy.

2. Everybody in the family is on duty, especially in the early stages. You have basically taken on the same commitment a new baby requires. Your new family member needs your time, cash, affection, breathing space, and tolerance.

3. Puppies, like human beings, learn at different rates. There are no prizes for first place, and training doesn't have to be completed tomorrow. Just concentrate on helping your puppy avoid errors and gently establish the habits that guarantee success. Again, as with children, repetition and encouragement are the keys for success (and happiness).

4. You have to show them that there is a 'right' and 'not-right' place to 'go to the toilet'. Puppies don't come with a built-in "I-need-to-pee-outside" monitor. This of course has to be taught by you.

5. Don't think that just to open the door and let the dog play outside is 'potty training'. If it happens just then, well it would have happened wherever - in or out.

6. Puppies are of course dogs (!!?), and as such they like to mark out their territory. The good news, though, is that puppies, like you and I, like to have clean beds. This means less washing for you - but you have to watch that they don't develop the habit of going just next to their beds.

7. Somebody is going to have to be at home too when the puppy begins its training. Nobody (and certainly no puppy) can hold on for a full day while everybody's out. A puppy can actually hang on for one hour for every month it's been alive, plus another hour. So, of course this means it has to be nine months old before it can last the likely time you will be out at work. What to do? A year off work!? Have no fear, there is a technique I teach you later about 'paper training' your dog.
