I don't know a thing about you but I'll bet that you would agree with me if i say that it is a joy having a puppy around. But sometimes, it is such a hassel kepping pets in your home. You have more responsibility and the worse part of it all is that you have to potty train it. I am sure some of you might just forget about gettin pets when you hear that you need to potty train them but let me tell you this, potty training a pet is easiest when they are young. The important thing that you should remember is that timing and routine are important. You need to setup a regular schedule for your little dog. How? Read on to find out more.

Let's begin with the basics. You need to consider the age of your puppy. A new-born is not ready for potty training but by three months, he is all set to learn how to cleanup.

First Rule: Keep your puppy's meal on a regular schedule. In this way you can take your pet out after his done with his meal. You can also take out your pet after nap, before his bedtime, or when he whimpers during the night.

Second Rule: You should only feed your puppy and give him a little water when you can take him outside after eating. As much as possible do not give water to your puppy two hours before sleeping. In this way you help prevent accidents through the night.

Third Rule: After playing with your puppy, you can now bring him outdoors with you on a leash. This would give your puppy a hint that it's time to relieve himself.

Fourth Rule: When you bring your puppy out to relieve itself, always bring it to the same spot so that is is able to recognize the spot where it should relieve itself.

Fifth Rule: What you can do is that you can try training your dog by saying a something to him. If you do this often enough, your puppy will be able to take the cue to relieve himself on your command.

Last: I am sure you like to be praised. Therefore, you should reward or praise your puppy if he relieves himself outside or followed your instructions on potty training.

You cannot expect the potty training session to be perfect. I am sure you will encounter unforeseen circumstances. Well, here are some ways to deal with them.

If you catch your pet relieving itself at a place it is not supposed to, firstly, you should not scream or yell. Gently nudge your pet to go outside and after this continue the reward thing by praising your puppy.

Let's face it you won't be around all the time, so when you see some of the mess your puppy has left, just keep your cool and clean up then continue training your puppy with the routine you have made up. When cleaning your puppy's wastes, make sure to clean it thoroughly so that it won't leave any smell that may induce your puppy to relieve on that same spot again. After this, you can also put the soiled cleaning materials outdoors or where your puppy usually relieves himself, making it easier for your pet to recognize where he should go in the future.

So, there you have it. All you need to do now is to stick to the routine that you have drawn out for your puppy. Trust me, with some patience you puppy will be very well discipline. Good luck!
