Introduction

Puppies are so much fun, but they can also be stressful and messy. We love our puppy dearly (and aren’t we all guilty of spoiling them?) but it is important to keep them clean and healthy. One of the most common questions about potty training a puppy is: How do I train my puppy to go outside? That’s what this article will answer!

No one likes cleaning up after an accident, so if you are training your puppy to use the bathroom outside, stay consistent.

No one likes cleaning up after an accident, so if you are training your puppy to use the bathroom outside, stay consistent. Consistency is key to a successful training program. If you are consistent, your puppy will learn faster and be less likely to have accidents in your house or yard.

If you find yourself being inconsistent with where or when you take your puppy out for a walk, he or she will get confused by the inconsistency and may start having accidents inside instead of outside.

Buy an enzymatic cleaner and use it on the accident spots in your house to eliminate the scent.

• Buy an enzymatic cleaner and use it on the accident spots in your house to eliminate the scent.
• Enzymatic cleaners are a detergent that breaks down the proteins in the urine, which is what causes many dogs to return to a spot where they have urinated or defecated before. They can be found at pet stores or online, or you can make your own by mixing baking soda with water until it forms a paste.
• When using an enzymatic cleaner on carpet, make sure to test a small patch first to ensure that there will be no discoloration of any sort before proceeding with cleaning the entire area. You don’t want to ruin your carpet!

If you have a yard, try using pheromones there to make it smell more like home.

If you have a yard, try using pheromones there to make it smell more like home. Pheromones are chemicals that animals give off to communicate with each other. They’re often used in dog training to make the dog feel more comfortable in a new environment.

If your puppy is going through housebreaking training, it can be helpful to use scents that remind her of her old home—and making your yard smell like that may help! For example, if you live in an apartment complex and have been taking walks around the neighborhood before bringing your puppy home, put some dirt from outside near where she’ll be sleeping (or wherever else smells familiar).

Don’t get frustrated with your puppy for having accidents – puppies don’t have full control over their bladder yet.

You’ll want to be patient with your puppy as he or she learns how to control their bladders. Your new friend is learning, and it will get better! If you get frustrated, your puppy will sense it and become scared, which could make things worse. Instead of getting upset when an accident happens, congratulate your small one on their efforts and move on with the day.

If you catch him mid-stream in a puddle on the floor, interrupt him by clapping and saying “Ah ah!” or making another noise that’s loud enough to get his attention. Scoop him up and carry him outside to finish going to the bathroom. Stay out there with him until he’s finished. Praise him! Every time he goes potty outside, give him lots of love and praise after he finishes. He’ll learn faster this way.

• After you’ve made sure your puppy has had plenty of chances to relieve himself outdoors, try letting him in during certain times each day (e.g., when you’re awake). Watch for signs that he needs to go outside again; if you see any, take him out immediately so he doesn’t end up having an accident indoors!

You can teach your puppy to ring a bell when they need to go outside by tying a bell onto a string and hanging it next to the door. When you need to go out, ring the bell, then go outside. When he gets inside after going potty, give him lots of praise! He’ll learn that ringing the bell means he should go out. Reward him for ringing the bell as well as for going potty outside!
