Go outside with your dog several times a day, preferably at the same hours to have a successful potty training. If your four-legged friend keeps doing his business in your home, perhaps you need to go outside with your doggy more times.

#5 Tip – Use a crate

Dogs are typically very clean and don’t like to stay in a place full of urine and stools. So, your puppy will warn you when he needs to go out. This way you potty train your puppy and, consequently, your dog gets used to the crate whenever you need to use it.

#6 Tip –Do regular exercise with your puppy

Doing exercise helps your dog motility.

#7 Tip –Observe your dog

Observe your dog’s behavior when he needs to satisfy his biological needs. Perhaps there are also certain moments, after which your puppy needs to go outside to do his business like when he plays.

#8 Tip –Clean the place where your dog had an accident

Dogs can smell an odor much better than humans, so if you want to prevent your dog from peeing in the same spot, you must clean it truly well with enzymatic cleaners.

#9 Tip –Avoid carpets

When you are puppy potty training, avoid having or passing through carpets because your dog will try to pee or make his feces on it. This happens because dogs associate carpets to grass.

#10 Tip –Use puppy boxes

If your dog can’t control himself and keeps doing his business in your home, consider using puppy boxes, so your dog has an approved local to make his stools and pee. When your dog has better control of his bladder, he will do his business outside. If your dog can’t control his bladder, take him to the vet to check if he has some health problem.
