<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nPotty training a puppy takes a few weeks or so to complete, so make sure he learns the right behavior by associating it with good things, such as a treat or words of encouragement. Each time the pup does what he is expected to do, give him a treat immediately after. Do not praise or feed him when he is still eliminating because this will only distract him. Reward him only after he is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What to do if your puppy goes where he is not supposed to go
While potty training your puppy, it is normal for him to have a few accidents here and there. If and when one does happen, clean it up as soon as possible. Do not punish, yell or physically hurt your dog to discipline him. This will only promote negative feelings and associations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some pet owners may wish to hire a professional to get their puppies in the right state of mind. If you do decide to do so, look for a trainer who specializes in dogs and who offers services in your locality. An experienced dog trainer should be able to help dogs develop accepted behaviors by setting limits in a healthy and loving environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2836,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[30,13],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Potty-train-a-puppy.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2835"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2835"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2835\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2839,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2835\/revisions\/2839"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
