It can be great for everyone on the day you decide to introduce a new member to the household. What better way to expand your family than with an adorable little Maltese, energetic bundle of Pomeranian, or a snuggly baby Shih Tzu? With this wonderful addition to your family comes a new level of responsibility when combining your world with theirs. The best way to welcome your new puppy is being prepared to potty train it immediately after bringing it home. Not only will this make sure your house maintains your personal level of cleanliness standards, but also ensures your new bundle of joy feels right at home.
Practice patience.
Young animals require the same level of understanding that can come with raising children. A harsh word for an accident left on the rug can create a level of distrust you may not wish to inflict on your new family member. Instead, make sure you are prepared to clean up messes and know that it probably won’t be the last time you do it. Invest in some chemicals or if you would rather not expose your precious pet to toxins, look into all-natural remedies for pulling out smells and stains from the carpet.
Have the essentials on hand.
Puppy training supplies may include plenty of paper towels and spray bottles, but something that may become invaluable to your household may also be implementing the use of absorbent potty pads. Placing a puppy pad in an ideal location can be an effective means of teaching your fur baby where they should go potty. Though you may want them to have them take their business outside eventually, until they understand basic instructions, an indoor method of relieving themselves can be beneficial to the training process.
Stay consistent.
Whether they are using a potty pad or being taken outside, it is important to stay on top of the training. Even if it means following a routine, such as immediately after getting up in the morning and right before they go to bed, make sure your puppy knows that there is always an option for using the bathroom that doesn’t include squatting on your bare floor. Keeping this in mind can make potty training easy and relatively stress-free for both you and your pet.
