5 Tips that Will Make Potty Training Your Vaccinated Puppy a Breeze

Potty training puppies is an important part of responsible pet ownership. Not only does it help keep your home clean and free from accidents, but it also teaches your pup the basic skills necessary for them to become a well-mannered dog. However, it’s not as easy as it looks, especially when your pup’s energy is at its peak. Our experts in Princess Puppies shared some tips on how you can make potty training a breeze whether or not it’s your first time buying a puppy in Lena, LA. 

It is important to remember to puppy pad train your puppy inside until it is fully vaccinated to help prevent unnecessary exposure to bad viruses. Our experts in Princess Puppies shared some tips for older vaccinated dogs and how you can make potty training a breeze whether or not it’s your first time buying a puppy in Lena, LA

Establish a Routine

When potty training a dog, it is important to establish a consistent routine and stick with it. Start by creating an area outside that your pup can use as their designated “potty spot” and make sure they have access to this area on a regular basis.

After meals, playtime and any naps, take your pup out to the designated potty spot and let them do their business. Make sure you give them plenty of time to sniff around and explore while they’re out there. Praise them when they go in the right place and reward them with treats if possible.

It is also helpful to keep track of your pup’s bathroom habits so you can recognize patterns of when he may need to go more frequently. For example, most dogs will need to go shortly after waking up from a nap or after eating or drinking anything other than water. Watch for signs that your pup needs to go such as circling, sniffing the ground or barking at you for attention. If he does his business indoors, don’t scold him — simply clean up the mess, keep an eye out for any potential triggers and move on.

Use Positive Reinforcement

Positive reinforcement is an effective tool when it comes to potty training a dog. This technique involves rewarding your pup with treats, praises, and other forms of positive reinforcement whenever they go potty in the right place.

Once you buy a Poodle or any other breed you prefer, you can start by finding a spot outside where you want your pup to go potty. Take them to this same area each time you need them to relieve themselves, and then reward them once they have finished. This will help your pup learn which area is designated for their bathroom breaks.

You should also make sure that you show enthusiasm and provide lots of praise after they do their business properly. It’s important to be consistent with your rewards so that your pup knows that they are doing a good job and being praised for it. You can give treats or verbal praise such as “good boy/girl” or something similar when they go to the correct spot to reinforce the behavior.

Supervise Your Puppy

When potty training a puppy, supervision is key in order to ensure the pup learns where and when it is appropriate to do its business.

The first step is to establish a bathroom area outside. This can be achieved by taking your puppy to the same designated spot each time it needs to go, so it can eventually make the connection that this spot is for elimination. Once the puppy is done, give lots of praise and treats as a reward for going to an appropriate place.

If there are any accidents in the house, never reprimand or scold your pup – instead, focus on praising them when they’ve gone to an appropriate place. Clean up any accidents with an enzymatic cleaner recommended by your veterinarian or pet store, so that your pup isn’t tempted back to that same spot.

Keep a Consistent Feeding Schedule

When potty training a dog, it’s important to keep a consistent feeding schedule. Meal times should be the same every day, with no more than three meals per day. Additionally, no snacks should be given in between meals. This will help your dog develop a routine for going potty.

If possible, you should also try and feed your dog at the same time each day. Doing so will allow him to develop a regular bowel movement schedule, making it easier for him to go potty on cue. It’s also helpful if you can walk your pup around the same time after meals as well – this will further encourage regular bowel movements and help establish a consistent routine of pottying outside.

Be Patient

When potty training a dog, it is essential to be patient and consistent in order to ensure successful results. Dogs are intelligent animals, but they don’t learn as quickly as humans do. Therefore, patience is key when teaching them new behaviors. Additionally, dogs thrive on consistency; if owners become too frustrated or stop reinforcing desired behavior, the progress made can be easily reversed.

One of the most effective ways to remain patient and consistent with potty training is to break the process into small steps and celebrate each successful milestone. Start with basic commands like ‘sit’ or ‘lie down’ that can be done indoors and then gradually move outdoors when they are able to demonstrate these skills without fail in the home environment. After your dog has mastered basic commands, begin introducing cues associated with going outside (e.g., taking them out on leash). Once outside, be sure to provide positive reinforcement for elimination in the right area or using a designated spot.

We purchased “Jessie” almost 3 years ago. We named her Charley. She is the sweetest, FUNNIEST little Pom-a-Poo! She loves people and everyone loves her. She’s smart and is the apple of our eye. When we lost our poodle of 18 years, we were heartbroken. Charley has filled our home with laughter and love. Thank you, Princess Puppies and Brittany for raising such wonderful friends! ❤️ Tracy
