Easy Potty Training Techniques to be Used on Puppies

If you have just picked out a new dog or puppy and plan to keep him or her inside, your first priority should be to get your pet house trained. There are several dog house training methods that will help you out and the method you choose to use will depend on your own personal preference and your family’s lifestyle.

One dog potty training technique is called paper training. Basically what you do is train your dog to go to the bathroom on paper in your house. Praising them when they do what you want is important and getting after them (in a loving yet stern manner) when they make a mess in the house. Some people use this method as a backup for emergencies and plan to use the next method for normal situations.

Many dog owners that have house dogs, will want to train their dogs to go outside. The best way to do this is to take them out very often and praise them when they go to the bathroom. Just as above, scold them when they go inside. If you are interested in combining two techniques, you can praise them a lot when they go outside and a little when they go on the paper. This will show them that it is ok to use the paper, but much better to wait and go to the bathroom outside.

There are other techniques like crate training you may want to explore.
