Potty training your dog should start as early as possible while he has not yet caught up on bad habits like urinating anywhere he likes.

If you are bringing home a puppy then you are lucky because there are better chances of potty training your dog at this age. However, do not expect a puppy to immediately learn how to control his bladder in a few weeks because you will only get frustrated.

Your task in potty training your dog is to take him to the specific areas where you want him to do his thing. But when he commits a mistake do not shout at him or hurt him because he will not learn from this. The best way to deal with accidents is to just wipe the urine or poop immediately and then continue potty training your dog.

Here are a few important tips to remember if you want to succeed in potty training your dog:

•Try using newspapers while on the training process to protect your house from dog urine. Potty training a dog can be done in various ways like taking him inside the house but confining him in a room or a small space with newspapers until he learns how to do his thing properly.

•Always remember the times when your dog has to urinate or defecate to avoid accidents. One way of potty training your dog is by taking him out at specific periods to enable him to associate urinating and defecating with going out. Potty training a dog especially puppies can be easy if you know the times when they are expected to urinate.

•If you have puppies then take special notice of their irregular potty habits. Puppies need to urinate often because their bladders could not hold out their urine for longer periods. Take out your dog the moment he wakes up or a few minutes after he finishes his meal.

•Be vigilant of your dog’s actions as they might indicate a desire to urinate. Watch for other signs that your dog wants to urinate or defecate like irregular barking, sniffing or circling the floor.

•Always give a reward when your dog successfully does his thing right. When your dog is successful in giving you a signal that he wants to go out to urinate or if he is successful in doing his thing in the proper area then reward him for it.

•Consistency is the key. It may take a lot of effort on your part but being consistent will help a lot in potty training your dog. Training your dog today and then allowing him to urinate on the rug the next day will not teach him to urinate in the proper area.

Success in potty training your dog can be so sweet after you have tried your best and sacrificed a little of your time in potty training him.
