Potty train your puppy in a matter of weeks. Puppies are adorable animals that make great pets. They are affectionate, playful, and make great companions. When we bring home a new puppy, we are bringing a new family into our lives. He will be with us for years and share the joys and laughter of life. Take care of your puppy.

A puppy will love you as much as you love him. But there are those little things that you can do without. A new puppy will not come potty trained, just like a baby. You will have to train him. Little puppies have weaker bladder control, just like human babies. Be patient. And just like babies, puppies do not know that urinating inside the house is not okay. You will have to teach him.

A young puppy will have less bladder control than older adult dogs. So try to have some patience. It will not be learned overnight. Potty training involves habits and routines. Start by having it stick with regular sleeping and waking up schedule. When it sleeps at the same time and wakes up at the same time every day, it develops a routine.

When your puppy starts to urinate inside of the house, tell him, "No!" Tell him firmly, but never yell. Yelling at the puppy will make him feel bad and resent you. You do not want your puppy to be scared of you. You want him to feel the same love and affection you towards him.

Be observant of your puppy. Watch for things like sniffing around. If he starts to stop whatever it is that he is doing and begins to sniff around, watch out! That is a sign that he is looking for a place to do his deed. Whenever he starts doing this, tell him to stop and carefully lift him outside. Let him finish his business outside.

The whole potty training process should take approximately two to three weeks. If your puppy has not mastered the routine, consult with your veterinarian or obedience instructor for any help.

During the progress, when your puppy begins to go outside to do his business, it is important that you acknowledge it. Praise him. He will know when you are proud of him. Give him a treat to let him know that you are pleased. You will get further with positive responding than strict and harsh scolding. Severe punishment will only make your puppy scared of you and see you as a mean person.
