When should you paper train your puppy?

The best time to start paper training your new puppy is as soon as you bring it home. This will help it learn to eliminate in a designated spot and can also help prevent accidents.

Here are some tips for paper training a puppy:

1. Choose a consistent spot for the puppy to eliminate. It's best to choose a spot that's out of the way of traffic and easily accessible for your puppy.

2. Place newspaper or potty pads in the designated spot. Make sure the newspaper or potty pads are large enough to give your pup enough space to do its business.

3. Take your puppy to the designated spot frequently. This includes taking it there when it first wakes up, after eating, after playing, and before bedtime.

4. Praise your puppy and give it a treat when it eliminates in the designated spot. This will help reinforce the behavior you're trying to encourage.

5. Be patient and consistent with the paper training process. It may take a few weeks for your puppy to fully learn to use the designated spot.

Here are some additional tips that may help you paper train your puppy:

* Use a pee-proof mat or a similar product under the newspaper or potty pads to prevent leakage.

* Avoid punishing your puppy for accidents. This will only confuse it and may lead to it holding its urine or feces, which can lead to health problems.

* Be sure to take your puppy outside to eliminate regularly in addition to using the designated spot. This will help your puppy learn that it's okay to eliminate outdoors as well.

Remember with patience, consistency, and proper training, your puppy will learn to use the designated spot for elimination.
