Looking for some helpful tips on how to properly potty train your puppy? Â Petland Iowa City has three important tips to successfully potty train your pup. Â Listen to this podcast for more details on each and check out some of our potty training tips below: Â
Step 1. Â Puppies are denning animals, be sure to use a crate/kennel for your puppy. Â Puppies will learn to keep their kennels nice and clean. Â False walls can do the trick within the kennel to allow proper space for your pet depending on size. Â Once you are ready to take your puppy out of the crate in the morning, lift them up out of the crate and take them directly outside. Â
Step 2. Â While you’re outside with your pet, make sure you are rewarding your pup for any business they do outside. Â The key is to reward them immediately after they do their business. Â Don’t wait until they get back inside. Â Incentivize the behavior you want to see from your pet instantly and your pet will quickly learn what they are doing correctly which ends with a yummy treat. Â There are lots of pet treats out there you can choose from, or select a Lickety Stik liquid dog treat that pets go CRAZY for. Â
Step 3.  Use a stain and odor removal with an enzyme that decomposes the smell of any urine spots in carpet, furniture, tile, wood, etc to remove the marking your puppy makes   Â
Step 4: Â Patience! Â While in the potty training process, ask yourself, “Is it better now than it was 2 weeks ago or a month ago?”.
Â
** Â Fun Fact: If you can keep your pet from having an accident in the house for three months (without incident), veterinarians say they’ve forgotten all about going to the bathroom in the house.
