Potty-trained puppies are cleaner and have an easier time adjusting to their new home. They are flexible and can learn to use multiple potty systems (pee pads, litter boxes, outside pottying, etc.) provided you support their natural instincts.
Potty-train a puppy early using its natural instincts is an effective and rewarding approach to housebreaking. Puppies are naturally clean, and they will naturally want to find a place to eliminate that is away from their sleeping and eating areas. It is important to start the potty training process early, as puppies learn quickly and are more likely to form good habits if their training starts at a young age.
When potty training a puppy, it is important to create a consistent routine. This will help your puppy understand when it is time to go potty and will help them learn quicker. You should take your puppy out to the same spot at the same time every day and give them plenty of time to explore and sniff around. This will help them become familiar with the area and know where it is appropriate to go potty. After your puppy is done, be sure to praise them and give them a treat to reinforce the desired behavior.
Potty-trained puppies learn instinctual elimination partially by being limited to a specific area. If a puppy has access to too much free space, accidents and mistakes happen more frequently. Potty-trained puppies should only be given free access to the whole house once they are completely trained.
To avoid accidents, you should also keep an eye on your puppy at all times, especially when they are in the house. If you catch them sniffing around or circling, take them outside right away as this is usually a sign that they need to go potty. Additionally, crates can also be helpful in potty training your puppy as they naturally do not want to soil their own sleeping area.
In addition to a consistent routine and monitoring your puppy, you should also be sure to clean up any accidents right away. As puppies are naturally clean, they will not want to potty in the same area they have already gone in. Additionally, be sure to use a cleaning product that is specifically designed to remove pet odors as regular cleaning products can leave behind a smell that will encourage your puppy to continue to go in the same spot.
Potty training a puppy early using its natural instincts can be a rewarding experience for both you and your puppy. Taking the time to create a consistent routine and monitoring your puppy will help them learn quicker and form good habits. Additionally, using a cleaning product specifically designed for pet odors and cleaning up any accidents right away will help discourage your puppy from going potty in the same area again. With the right approach, potty training your puppy can be a smooth and successful process.
At Seeking Shalom Acres, we provide potty-trained puppies by supporting our puppies’ natural instincts. In our case, we strategically set up our puppy rearing pen to encourage their natural cleanliness and elimination instincts. We use various layouts that all keep this momentum going from as soon as they are able to walk around. And as they get older, we also use a schedule that includes regular outside visits to encourage outside pottying as well. By the time our puppies go to their new homes, they are basically potty-trained puppies because they are used to consistently using our potty system and they are in the process of learning to use the bathroom outside too (as long as it is not too cold to take them outside at that point in time). Our main puppy potty system is a flexible and adjustable system that means you can then take your puppy and transition him or her to whatever potty system you plan to use. Our potty-trained puppies are ready to make your new puppy life easier. Below are a couple short videos of our young puppies already using the potty mat by 4-5 weeks old.
