1. Set Up a Safe Space
• Create a designated area for your dog, such as a crate or playpen.
• Include a comfortable bed, food, and water.
2. Use Crate Training
• Crate training helps dogs learn to hold their bladder.
• Ensure the crate is the right size: big enough to stand and turn around, but not too big.
3. Establish a Routine
• Take your dog outside every hour, especially after eating or napping.
• Give them 5–10 minutes to go potty.
4. Supervise Your Dog
• Keep an eye on your dog at all times.
• Use a leash to keep them close or put them in their crate if you can’t watch them.
5. Watch for Potty Signs
• Look for signs that your dog needs to go out:
• Sniffing the ground
• Whining or barking
• Pacing or circling
6. Clean Up Accidents Properly
• If your dog has an accident, don’t scold them; this will confuse them.
• Clean the area well with a pet-safe cleaner to remove odors.
7. Gradually Increase Freedom
• As your dog learns, give them more freedom in the house.
• Always supervise to prevent accidents.
8. Be Patient and Consistent
• House training takes time.
• Celebrate small victories and stay consistent with your training.
Summary
To successfully house train your dog, set up a safe space, use crate training, establish a routine, supervise them, watch for potty signs, clean up accidents properly, gradually give them more freedom, and be patient. With these tips, your dog will learn where to go potty in no time!
