You have just adopted the cutest, little pup! You’ve brought him home and got him at home with his environment.

Tips to paper train puppy!

However, there is one small problem. You need to keep your pup inside or that large dog next door may tear him apart! Or maybe your house is in an area, for example a town, residence, or apartment where there is absolutely no access to a yard or fenced-in area?

Naturally, your lovable puppy can’t use the litter box with the kitty!

Now you’re sweating at the idea of urine spots on your beautiful Persian carpet or a pile of poo on your high priced exotic hardwood flooring! You can calm down, since there’s a solution!

Housetraining a brand new pup can easily be done inside by paper training!

Below are a few straightforward instructions for methods to paper train puppy dog:

1. Position several layers of paper in a spot which is away from the puppy’s feeding and watering containers. Immediately after your puppy eats and drinks, take him to the newspapers. Also take your pup to the papers, to urinate and defecate, the very first thing each morning and the very last thing at night. He should also be taken to the newspapers after he chews, plays hard, and comes out of his crate.

2. Change the papers after each time that the puppy dog uses them. Underneath the clean newspapers, put a lightly soiled one. Your pup will be encouraged to go to the potty by the odor left on the soiled paper.

3. Clean underneath the papers with an odor neutralizer. In case you fail to do so, your puppy will smell his scent on the floor and begin sniffing around the edge of the paper. This is a no, no! You ought to keep your puppy ON the newspaper and using an odor neutralizer will keep him focused on using the potty on the newspaper!

4. Clap your hands to startle your puppy if he makes a mistake. Please! Just surprise him. Don’t frighten the poor thing half to death! This will distract your puppy and stop him from urinating. Pick him up and take him to the paper where you want him to go. Lavishly praise your puppy when he completes going to the potty!

5. Do not go BALISTIC if your pup urinates or defecates off of the papers. Never reprimand him by spanking, yelling, or rubbing his nose in the mess! Do not forget, your puppy is just a baby. He made a mistake; he did not commit the crime of the century!

6. Do not use a product containing ammonia to clean up after your pup. Urine contains ammonia and that lovely familiar scent will invite your pup to pee again on that very same spot! If you are worried about permanent odor or staining, putting plastic or waxed paper under the newspapers may help preserve your carpeting or flooring.

7. You must be consistent. Put your puppy on a regimen. In case you change the timetable or let your puppy do something differently one day and not the next, he’ll get confused!

8. Keep a close eye on your pup. Never, ever leave an untrained pup alone in the house! Doing so is definitely asking for trouble!

9. Carry your puppy to different parts of your condo or home and say “papers!” Then, carry him back to the newspapers. This will teach your pup to go to the papers when he has the desire to go to the potty!

Paper training a brand-new puppy demands a lot of consistency, a bit of common sense, and painstaking attention to clean up. With just a little time and determination, your puppy will finally grasp what you expect him to do. At some point, going to the potty on the papers will become second nature to him.

That’s pretty much it for techniques to paper train puppy potty! Oh and one more point, have a bunch of patience.
