POTTY TRAINING

One of the first things people want to teach their puppy is how to be properly house-trained. Below is a simple step-by-step process, involving a crate that's just big enough for the dog to stand up, spin around, and lay down (and not any larger). This will allow the dog to learn to hold their bladder. 

Depending on the age of the dog, we have to consider how long they can hold their bladders. A young pup at a couple of months old should stay crated for a couple of hours. This time frame can become longer the older the dog is.

After the time in the crate, the puppy is taken out and given a chance to go potty.

If they successfully go potty, the dog should be rewarded, perhaps taken on a walk. We try to reinforce that the bathroom break leads to more fun activities.

If the puppy doesn't go, then he or she is brought back to the crate. We wait 20 minutes, then repeat the process.

The important factor is to make the dog associate going outside with going potty, and that it's something to look forward to.

If the puppy happens to go inside the house, you don't need to rush at it with punishment behavior. You simply say "no," take the pup outside, and reward with positive reinforcement after they go potty correctly.

If the puppy has gone potty in the house, but you did not catch them in the act, then do NOT correct them. You must catch them immediately or else they won't understand.

Note: if your puppy goes potty inside their potty-training crate, then it's your fault. Dogs do not go potty where they sleep or eat unless they simply can't hold it.
