Puppy Potty Training Tips

🕒 1. Stick to a Schedule

Take your puppy out first thing in the morning, after meals, after naps, and before bed.
Every 1–2 hours is a good rule for young puppies.

📍 2. Use the Same Spot

Always go to the same potty spot outside.
The scent will help your puppy remember what to do.

🎉 3. Praise & Reward

Immediately after they go potty in the right spot, give lots of praise and a treat.
Timing is everything!

🚫 4. Don’t Punish Accidents

Never scold or punish your puppy for accidents — it creates fear.
Clean with an enzyme cleaner to remove odors and prevent repeat spots.

⏰ 5. Watch for Signs

Sniffing, circling, whining, or heading to the door = time to go!
Intervene early to avoid accidents.

🪩 6. Confine When Unsupervised

Use a crate, playpen, or gated area to prevent wandering and accidents.
Dogs naturally avoid going potty in their sleeping space.

📈 7. Be Consistent & Patient

Puppies take time to learn — accidents are part of the process.
Stay calm, consistent, and celebrate small wins.
