Housebreaking Your Puppy

Start by establishing a routine for feeding and potty breaks. Use positive reinforcement when your puppy goes outside. Be patient and consistent to help them learn.

Accidents will happen, so clean up messes with an enzymatic cleaner to remove odors. Avoid punishment for accidents as it can confuse your puppy.

Set up a designated potty area outside and take your puppy there frequently, especially after meals and naps. Supervise them indoors to prevent accidents.

Consider crate training to help with housebreaking. Dogs naturally avoid soiling their sleeping area, so a crate can encourage them to hold it until outside.

Monitor your puppy's water intake and take them out more frequently if they are drinking a lot. Celebrate successes with praise or treats to reinforce good behavior.

Remember, housebreaking takes time and patience. Consistent training, positive reinforcement, and supervision are key to successfully teaching your puppy good potty habits.
