A new puppy is as cute as can be until they start having accidents on your carpet. Although it's easy to be angry, you should remember that your puppy only wants to please you, and will happily go outside if you train them properly. There are no magic wands you can wave to instantly make your puppy house-trained, but with a few simple steps and a lot of patience and dedication, it isn't hard to train your puppy well.
Instructions
Buy a puppy from a breeder who has already started training them, according to the Family Education.website. If your puppy has been consistently trained from when they were small it will make the process much easier.
Train your puppy to go potty outside first, instead of starting with paper. If you train them to go inside first you will just have to retrain them latter, according to Family Education.
Watch your puppy all the time and take them outside as soon as they start to scratch or squat down. This will show them you want them to go outside, according to the Daily Puppy website.
Keep them in a crate when you can't watch them. Puppies don't usually go to the bathroom in their crate, according to The Daily Puppy.
Take them outside before and after you put them in their crate, after they eat and before you go to bed. Don't feed them for four hours before bed, and take away their water two hours before bed, according to Family Education.
Praise your puppy when they go potty outside, and don't play with them until they are done, according to Family Education. This will reinforce for them that you like it when they go outside, and that going potty outside is what they are supposed to do.
Refrain from getting mad at them if they have an accident. They weren't trying to upset you, they just didn't know better. Being angry will only confuse them. Instead, just try to watch them better next time, according to Family Education. Shar pei puppies in particular need an owner that is consistent and gentle, according to the Dog Breed Info website. This will ensure they grow up to be well-behaved, loving, and above all, house-trained.
