he goes in the appropriate spot (hopefully!). It is so much easier to teach your puppy to hold it (within reasonable time-frames, especially when they are super young), until you take her out and put her on the grass where you want her to learn to go.
And then the other famous question... "I took my puppy out, and stood there for 30 minutes and she just sniffed around... no potty. But then as soon as I brought her in she peed on the carpet- she was mad at me!" People- puppies and dogs dont get mad! And they certainly dont do things out of spite (talk about anthropomorphizing!). My answer is "Well, she just doesnt know that the outside is the ONLY place shes supposed to go yet".
The key to potty training is confinement and contigencies. Your puppys freetime must be contigent upon he or she going potty outside. Its as simple as that, and once you get him or her on a schedule where they can learn that, youll be much more successful. So many people get majorly frustrated and discouraged when they cant potty train, and their puppy is still 6 months old going on the rug in the kitchen. But it doesnt have to be like that! Please read the Potty Outside schedule above for more tips.
And if you would like additional help, I offer a Puppy Potty Training Board & Train program to help puppy owners with potty training, and behavior training in general. Puppies can be difficult, but they soak up learning and are so motivated- its so fun watching them figure things out! It doesnt have to be frustrating, and I can help take the guess-work out of potty training for you. Read more about the program here, and please feel free to let me know if you have any questions about your puppy.
