Puppy Potty Training
Puppy potty training is the first big hurdle you will face when getting a new pup. Until a young dog learns where it’s appropriate to soil, and where it isn’t, he can’t become a real member of the family. Failure of early potty training can lead to years of frustration and “accidents”, so it’s something you definitely want to get right the first time!
If you’ve done any research, you’ve probably realized that there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Should you punish accidents, or ignore them? Does “rubbing his nose in it” work? Do you need to crate train? Fortunately, puppy potty training doesn’t have to be an ordeal. You just need to get the right information, all in one place, and then stick to the plan.
Dog expert and editor of DOG BYTES newsletter Gene R. Sower has collected all the information you need to know into one easy-to-follow house training plan called Happy Housetraining, which will teach you the secrets of
- Cleaning up accidents so thoroughly that even your puppy won’t be able to tell they were there
- Choosing the right house training plan for your lifestyle
- Controlling food and water intake to control potty timing
- Choosing paper training or outside pottying
In addition, Happy Housetraining includes an online forum where experts can answer your questions and help you deal with any problems you may encounter, something that no library book can offer.
