How to Train Two Puppies to Potty Outside

Perhaps one of the most difficult and vital milestones puppy owners must surmount is training the animals where to use the restroom. While it may seem even harder the train two puppies instead of one, the process is the same. The two puppies may even notice the behavior together. For example, if one puppy learns faster, the other may follow his behavior. Puppies don't understand what you tell them, so it's important to be patient and kind while potty training.

      Take both dogs outside to the area they can relieve themselves after they drink, eat or sleep. Also, take the puppies out every 30 to 40 minutes to prevent accidents. Once you notice a pattern to the puppies' bathroom habits, you can create a schedule. Look for habits the puppies do when they need to go out. For example, many dogs sniff around for an area to use the bathroom. When you see the behaviors, take the dogs outside. Praise the puppies when they relieve themselves outside.

      Say the same word or phrase when it's time to go outside. Pick a word or phrase you do not use all the time in regular conversation. For example, if you don't often say "get busy," use it as a command to go outside.
