House Training a Puppy without Tears

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Just like potty training a toddler, house training a puppy requires patience, consistency and time. Did we mention patience? Puppies do not come equipped with an innate sense of where the appropriate place to go to the bathroom is. They simply know that when they have an urge, it is time to relieve themselves. It is your job, as the intelligent and kind dog owner, to teach your dog the proper place to potty. This is generally best done without too much anger, frustration and drama on your part. By remaining calm and staying consistent, house training your puppy may turn out to be a brief process with a happy ending.
