Things You'll Need
- Puppy crate
- Puppy training pads
Instructions
Spread out the puppy training pads in the area(s) you want the dog to use for its bathroom duties. This can be inside or outside the home, or both.
Place the puppy on the pad immediately after it wakes up from a nap and after eating and drinking. If the puppy wanders off the pads, return it to the pads until it eliminates.
Praise the puppy each time it eliminates in the correct location.
Watch the puppy for signs of walking around in circles and sniffing the floor. This is an indication that the puppy may be looking for a place to go to the bathroom. If this occurs, place the puppy on the training pads immediately.
Confine the puppy to a small crate at night and whenever you are not able to watch the puppy for signs it needs to use the bathroom.
