A new potty training technique for puppies is to use puppy pads. If you know how to properly use puppy pads, it can be a very easy and effective way to housetrain a puppy. However, if used incorrectly, your dog will not potty train outside, he will always want to potty in the house. After reading this article, you will know how to use these types of pads to potty train your new pet in a simple way.
So what exactly are puppy pads? They are an absorbent pad that is easy to clean. You just pick it up and throw it away. With potty training, it’s important to always keep the puppy pad in the same spot. When your pup starts to sniff or squat, quickly place him on the pad. If your pup relieves herself on the platform, praise her.
Keep watching your new dog and place him on the pad when he looks like he needs to go potty. After a while, the pup will take the hint and start going to the platform without any help from him. Once your pup is only going on the pad and nowhere else in the house, move the dog pad outside. When the pup goes to the original pad spot, take it outside. He will see his doggie pad outside and eventually get the new clue that outside is where he should go potty.
Also, to avoid accidents, keep in mind that puppies have small, weak bladders. Dogs generally need to go outside when they wake up, 15 minutes after eating or drinking, before going to sleep, and after playing or running. If you use puppy pads and pay attention to your pup’s cues that you need to go potty, you can avoid having to clean up tons of accidents.
