Paper and Toilet Training of Puppies

Always leash your puppies after every meal to go outdoor, as a stomach with food will exert pressure on the colon and bladder. After drinking, or awakening are times when your pups bowels and bladder's need emptying. Paper training your puppies will ease the situation of discomfort.

Young puppies must relieve themselves every few hours, so there will probably be a few accidents until a puppy is fully house trained.

Sniffing the ground is often the only sign the puppy will give that it needs empty its bowels or bladder. Some puppies both sniff and race around frantically at the same time. You have only seconds in which to intervene, and place the puppy in the designated place.

Quickly pick up the puppy and place it on the paper. Newspaper is the best because it is cheap, readily available, and also very absorbent. Keep a small piece of soiled newspaper along with the fresh supply to provide the puppy with its own odor ad to encourage it to use the paper again.

Praise your puppy after it has urinated on the paper. Never discipline the puppy after it has soiled the floor, and never put its nose in the mess. Both actions are value less and will make your scared of you.

Clean up accidents in the home with an odor-eliminating disinfectant. DO NOT USE ammonia products, since these may remind the puppy of its own urine smell.

Toilet Training

Once your pup attained the age of 6 months, this is the right time to train it to relieve itself outside (TOILET TRAINING) rather than preferring the newspaper. Learn to recognize the warning signs so that you know when it has to be let out to answer the call of nature. In time, going outside to relieve it will become a regular habit for the puppy.

Encourage the puppy to use a remote area for its toilet in your garden or somewhere else within your home premises. A puppy is more likely to urinate where it has soiled before (it may be your car bumper also).

Having found the right place, the puppy urinates. In general, urine is acidic and burns grass, leaving brown patches. Train your pup to relieve itself when and where you want it to.

Always clean up after your Puppy. Carry a plastic bag or "pooper-scooper" with you, and place the mess in a provided puppy bin. If it is in your own garden, flush it down the toilet. Roundworms and certain tapeworms can be transmitted in puppy feces, so worm your pet regularly.
