Potty training puppies can be a lot of fun with an attitude of healthy helpfulness. Take a look at the mental health of a new puppy. Imagine what it would be like for puppies to be exploring in the world they call home. As far back as a puppy can remember may only be a few minutes ago. When training the puppies, remember this when they have an accident. Puppies want to please and when that memory gets around to charging back they will amaze the most skeptical human. Meanwhile, keep shoes up along with anything else that is not a chew toy. Give praise with positive reinforcements in that happy voice they will love. Keep a small treat on hand as a reward for proper potty power.

Accidents seen while the puppy is in the act only need a 'no' and a tap of the shoe on the floor." Any yelling will make potty training for puppies a nervous experience. After the fact, it does not do any good to correct a puppy. It's best to just quietly clean up. Be sure to use puppy pads or newspaper in an area indoors where the puppy is allowed to go to the bathroom. If there is a delay in getting home, it is always good to have this alternative to outdoors. If a puppy goes potty on the carpet be sure to scrub well to eliminate any lingering scent.

Crate training works for new puppies and a crate provides a sanctuary for your new puppy. A number of people keep their new puppies in a dog crate, while at work. While this could work for some dogs, a puppy may have a difficult time holding on. It may be better to allow the puppy to go to an area where it is allright to go potty. You shouldn't put puppy pads or newspapers next to a crate when you're potty training puppies. This is because of the odourl factor, because of the fact that they don't want to sleep next to bad smells.

Keep puppies on a schedule as much as possible. When potty training puppies they should go outside after meals and naps. Spending time outdoors on a daily basis also gives puppies and their people much needed exercise. Try to incorporate your trips out with puppy time. One last little bonus tip for the single person is that a puppy can attract people. Why not have a little fun with that?
