Potty Training

I know potty training takes time, but when you teach the puppy to pee on the pads how do you do it? What if your puppy just goes anywhere, in the middle of the puppy peeing, do you interrupt him and startled him so that he would stop? Or do you let him finish and then teach him to start peeing in the appropriate spot?

If you catch him IN THE ACT, then give a firm NO and take him to the spot you want him to go and give him a command, like go potty. But ONLY if you catch him in the act. If you don't catch him, just clean up the mess and don't bring attention to it.

What we did with Meli is basically just watch her very closely and when she would start to sniff around we would pick her up and put her on the potty pads and say "Potty". Ofcourse we had accidents and when we did we would just give her a firm "NO" and pick her up and place her on the potty pads and again we would say "Potty". You just have to remember to be consistent with it and PRAISE them like crazy when they do go on the potty pads.

Luckily for us she picked up on it quickly...in a week or so she pretty much had it down and we haven't had any accidents since then.


Good Luck.
