TOILET TRAINING
Key times for taking puppies outside for toileting are:
After eating
After sleeping
After a play or run around
Doing this frequently will help them to learn where they should be toileting. This could be hourly for the first few days. Always reward good behavior with a small treat and a lot of praise straight after going to the toilet. Ignore mistakes.
Puppy Training pads are advisable to use overnight.
We have been, for the first time, giving the puppies the opportunity to go outside each time they eat which has resulted in the puppies not toileting where they sleep. We also used a puppy training mat/pad in their whelping box, which was very successful.
Hopefully this groundwork will be of benefit to you when toilet training your puppy at home.
Your feedback in a few weeks time would be greatly appreciated.
If you are having trouble with toilet training your puppy you might want to Google “ Crate Training “
This is the method what we have used with our dogs and we have found it to be very successful.
