Just like anything that requires diligence, potty training a puppy will go much smoother if you set a schedule. It can be very easy to let phone calls, work, family and other normal activities get you off course. So setting a fairly rigorous schedule will keep you focused and cut your potty training time in half.

When devising a schedule, take your puppy outside once an hour. Stay close by him but pretend to be invisible so you don’t distract him at all. Allow him to sniff around. If he relieves himself while you’re outside, praise him, telling what a good dog he is while he is actually peeing or pooping. Be sure to make a big fuss over it and let him know you are extremely proud of him. Use a particular word for his elimination. Be consistent with whatever words you choose so that he will learn the words you are using and associate them with going to the bathroom. In the future, your dog will learn to hold it until you get outside.

However, if after being outside for three or four minutes, your puppy doesn’t go to the bathroom, come back inside and try again in ten minutes. Repeat this process as many times as necessary. If you give up, your puppy will get confused and not understand what you want him to do.

Puppies normally need to go right after they eat and immediately after they wake up. Consistently take your puppy outside at these times so they can establish a routine. Since they go many other times too, keep a close eye on him so you can be ready to take him out. If your puppy runs away from playing game, it may mean he needs to use the bathroom. After a few days of watching him, you’ll learn his patterns and be able to keep his messes outside where they belong.
