Many people who have brought a very young puppy to their homes know what great moments the family can cherish with such a toy-pet. But, in order for everything to be really perfect, you may need to learn a few things about potty training for your puppy. First of all, we need to mention that potty training for your puppy proves completely effective around six months of age. With very young dogs, you cannot expect control over bladder and bowels. Therefore the first tip to learn potty training for your puppy is to keep it off carpets into a special enclosed area.
Then, potty training for your puppy requires that you make up your mind where you’re going to apply it: indoors, outdoors or both. The best idea is to teach your dog to let you know when it’s got an urge. Start potty training for your puppy by taking it in a leash to the corner you’ve prepared for it; do this after every meal, and you’ll drastically reduce the risk of ‘accidents’ on your floor. Another tip to use when potty training for your puppy is to try and feed it on dry dog food as this gives consistency to the stool.
What about the water you give it? Potty training for your puppy may prove a little difficult since young dogs need lots of liquid for their growing process. Leave a bowl with fresh water all day long for it to drink but remove it two hours before bedtime. This is part of the potty training for your puppy, as there will be less peeing over night. Taking the puppy out should be the first thing you do in the morning and the last one in the evening.
All the family members should be involved in potty training for your puppy, since no one can stay all day long around the house, making sure the puppy potties in the right place. Be patient with your pet as potty training for your puppy may be quite challenging, sometimes even the dog’s breed has a word to say in the receptiveness to training. If you don’t want to bother with potty training for your puppy, then you can buy an older dog that has already been potty trained. Or there is always the option of adopting an adult pet from the many rescue centres.

How can I get my dog to stop growling at approaching strangers?
By: Munch | 21-07-2008
I have a 10 month old German Shepherd. He is very friendly at dog parks, home, and when he gets introduced to new people but when he is on a walk and a single person approaches he growls and wants to approach them. He is a very large puppy and I have been trying to get him to sit and stay while rubbing his chest to no avail. He is being protective and wants to check everyone out but he'll scare people if he continues to growl and I can't let him sniff every stranger. How can I train him to be more comfortable with approaching strangers?
How to use a muzzle to curb barking dog
By: Hersky | 18-07-2008
Can anyone reccomend a method for using a muzzle to curb excessive barking in a poddle mix.
He barks at other dogs, whenever excitied (like taking a ride in the car) new people, and the TV... Not constantly, but LOUDLY, and although he doesn't seem to have an aggressive bone in his body, but he can scare people.
I like to take him with me everywhere, but his barking has put a real damper on that.
I want a deaf dog, but.....
By: Nes | 02-07-2008
So I went to the animal shelter along with my girlfriend today and this 10 month old mixed Pitbull really caught our attention. The dog is gorgeous and very friendly. We just fell in love with her the minute we saw her, but as we were reading her description we read that she is deaf. I really don't care about that but i am worried that if we bring her to our home and if she gets out of the house one day, she may get hurt by a car or something/someone else, since she can't hear anything approaching her. My girlfriend and I really want her, but we are just worried about her safety...we also got a chance to walk her and I obviously couldn't call her over. The only way she comes to us is when she looks at us and we sign her to walk over to us. Should I be worried about her impairment and how can I train her??
