Undoubtedly, there is nothing quite as cute as a new puppy. But let's face facts. Not everything about a puppy is cute. As is true with a human toddler, puppies have to be potty-trained, or house-broken, if you will. If you want to make sure to properly house-break your new puppy, you have to do the job the right way from the very start. The first thing you should do is to take your puppy out to the back yard, if you have one, and let him stay there until he does his business. Let him know how pleased you are with the good job he's done. This should be done about every two hours.

When house training, it is important to remember to feed the puppy in its crate and then carry it outside shortly after eating to let it go to the bathroom. It is very important that you remember to carry him or her and then set them in the grass.

When you carry him outside, make sure to set him on the grass. The puppy should feel grass under him so that he can get used to the idea that this is the proper place to do his business. If you think he's taking too much of his own sweet time in doing what he has to do, try walking around a little so that the puppy will follow you. Walking sometimes loosens him up and makes it easier for him to go.

Remember also to take your puppy outside again just before bedtime. If he cries during the night, it may be that he needs a bathroom break. Take him outside if that's the case.

If you take the puppy out in the middle of the night, put them back into the crate after. Do not get it too excited because it may not want to go back to sleep. Give it a few days and soon the puppy will start to sleep through the night.

One common trick when house training is to have a piece of newspaper down on the floor if the puppy does go inside. Try and help the puppy to associate the newspaper with a place to go to the bathroom if it can't make it outside. Slowly move the newspaper closer and closer to the door, and eventually the puppy will get the trick.

Finally, it is very important to reward your puppy for being good. If your puppy does his business properly outside, show him how happy you are or give him a treat for a job well-done.

Remember to only reward the puppy only when they have been good. After time it will come natural to them and they will know what needs to be done for a treat.
