Puppy Potty Training Got You at Your Wits’ End?
Dog Potty Training an Exercise in Futility?

No doubt,  puppy potty training is one of the first issues you must deal with when you bring your new friend home. The nature of the beast demands a quick resolution to the problem but no matter what you try, you and your pooch are definitely on different wavelengths, and the situation is quickly deteriorating.

That innocent-looking ball of fluff you picked up at the pound just a few days ago is responsible for your home turning into a disaster zone at hurricane speed. You might be able to live with white stuff oozing out of the sofa cushions and the tooth marks on the chair legs. But some telltale signs of a canine presence you simply can’t ignore any longer. Like the brown spots on the carpet and the ‘water marks’ on the rugs and, oh my, even on the furniture!

Why, was it yesterday that you were surveying the scene while grabbing a rare cup of tea, and dog potty training suddenly made it to the top of your 'To Do' list. There was no way you could possibly have anyone over. The place was a downright pigsty ... and it's even worse today!!!

Why Is Puppy House Training So Daunting?

I was a puppy myself not so long ago, and so I remember the trials and tribulations of going through puppy house training. There's one thing that seems to elude just about everyone dealing with a pup: their bladders are tiny, and therefore they can’t hold it very long at all! Sounds obvious, doesn’t it? But chances are somebody’s nose got rubbed in it, and it probably wasn’t yours.

Which takes us to another aspect of housebreaking a puppy. Just when you get started toilet training and how you go about it is just as important for your pup as it is for your baby. Starting too early will only lead to frustration for both of you. Another important thing to remember is that your puppy’s bladder muscles are very weak, so I’m afraid that puddles will be a fact of life for a little while.

Because of small bladders and weak muscle control, it is important to adhere to a strict schedule when house training puppies. Whether you choose the direct training method (taking your puppy outdoors to do its business) or paper training (if you don’t have a yard or it's just too cold), you must do it frequently, and time it according to the pup’s eating and sleeping schedule.

It this sounds complicated, don’t worry. My team of experts has even established a puppy potty training plan that’s really easy to follow. You’ll have little Lulu trained in no time, and you’ll soon be able to invite company over again without the fear of embarrassment.

Dog Potty Training:  Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks

When people adopt an older dog, they often assume that dog potty training just isn't an issue. Of course, my dog is fully trained - well, isn't it? I hate to break it to you, but just like a new car doesn’t come fully loaded, neither does a dog.

First, it is quite possible that, just like me, your new friend was never trained in the first place, or not trained properly, so you can expect him to be confused at first. Or he may just have been neglected for so long that he simply has forgotten his manners altogether.

Either way, with proper guidance, Rufus will get on the right track again. As his behavior improves, you’ll see him gain confidence and pride in himself. And you will be proud to show him off to your friends and neighbors.

Whether you’re faced with the challenge of housebreaking a puppy or an adult dog, my dog training course will show you the pros and cons of different methods, but more importantly, they’ll uncover for you all the tricks you can use to make it quick and easy.
