How to Potty Train Puppies
Tumblr media
House training your dog or puppy requires patience, commitment and lots of consistency. Accidents are part of the process, but if you follow these basic house training guidelines, you can get the newest member of your family on the right track.
To potty train your puppy, establish a routine
Puppies do best on a regular schedule. 
The schedule teaches them that there are times to eat, times to play and times to do their business. Typically, a puppy can control their bladder one hour for every month of age. So if your puppy is 2 months old, they can hold it for about two hours. Don't go longer than this between bathroom breaks or they’re likely to have an accident.
Take your puppy outside frequently—at least every two hours—and immediately after they wake up, during and after playing, and after eating or drinking.
Pick a bathroom spot outside, and always take your puppy (on a leash) to that spot. 
While your puppy is relieving themselves, use a specific word or phrase that you can eventually use before they go to remind them what to do. Take them out for a longer walk or some playtime only after they have eliminated.
Reward your puppy every time they eliminate outdoors. 
Praise or give treats—but remember to do so immediately after they’ve finished, not after they come back inside. This step is vital, because rewarding your dog for going outdoors is the only way to teach what's expected of them. Before rewarding, be sure they’re finished. Puppies are easily distracted and if you praise too soon, they may forget to finish until they’re back in the house.
Put your puppy on a regular feeding schedule. 
What goes into a puppy on a schedule comes out of a puppy on a schedule. Depending on their age, puppies may need to be fed two or three times a day. Feeding your puppy at the same times each day will make it more likely that they'll eliminate at consistent times as well, making house training easier for both of you.
Pick up your puppy's water dish about two and a half hours before bedtime to reduce the likelihood that they'll need to relieve themselves during the night. Most puppies can sleep for approximately seven hours without needing a bathroom break. If your puppy does wake you up in the night, don't make a big deal of it; otherwise, they will think it is time to play and won't want to go back to sleep. Turn on as few lights as possible, don't talk to or play with your puppy, take them out to the spot where they relieve themselves and then return them to bed.
Tumblr media
Supervise your puppy
Don't give your puppy an opportunity to soil in the house; keep an eye on them whenever they’re indoors.
Tether your puppy to you or a nearby piece of furniture with a six-foot leash if you are not actively training or playing. Watch for signs that your puppy needs to go out. Some signs are obvious, such as barking or scratching at the door, squatting, restlessness, sniffing around or circling. When you see these signs, immediately grab the leash and take them outside to their bathroom spot. If they eliminate, praise them and reward with a treat.
Keep your puppy on leash in the yard. During the house training process, your yard should be treated like any other room in your house. Give your puppy some freedom in the house and yard only after they become reliably house trained.
Tumblr media
When you can't supervise, confine
When you're unable to watch your puppy at all times, restrict them to an area small enough that they won't want to eliminate there.
The space should be big enough to comfortably stand, lie down and turn around. You can use a portion of a bathroom or laundry room blocked off with baby gates.
Or you may want to crate train your puppy. If your puppy has spent several hours in confinement, you'll need to take them directly to their bathroom spot as soon as you return.
Mistakes happen
Expect your puppy to have a few accidents in the house—it's a normal part of house training. Here's what to do when that happens:
Without a lot of drama, immediately take them to their outside bathroom spot. Praise your pup and give a treat if they finish there.
Don't punish your puppy for eliminating in the house. If you find a soiled area, just clean it up. Rubbing your puppy's nose in it, taking them to the spot and scolding them or any other punishment will only make them afraid of you or afraid to eliminate in your presence. Punishment will do more harm than good.
Clean the soiled area thoroughly. Puppies are highly motivated to continue soiling in areas that smell like urine or feces.
It's extremely important that you use these supervision and confinement procedures to minimize the number of accidents. If you allow your puppy to eliminate frequently in the house, they'll get confused about where they’re supposed to go, which will prolong the house training process.
Tumblr media
Make plans for when you're away
If you have to be away from home more than four or five hours a day, this may not be the best time for you to get a puppy. Instead, you may want to consider an older house-trained dog who can wait for your return. If you already have a puppy and must be away for long periods of time, you may need to:
Arrange for someone, such as a responsible neighbor or a professional pet sitter, to take them for bathroom breaks.
Alternatively, train them to eliminate in a specific place indoors. Be aware, however, that doing this can prolong the process of house training. Teaching your puppy to eliminate on newspaper may create a life-long surface preference, meaning that even as an adult they may eliminate on any newspaper lying around the living room.
If you plan to paper-train, confine them to an area with enough room for a sleeping space, a playing space and a separate place to eliminate. In the designated elimination area, use either pet pee pads, newspapers (cover the area with several layers of newspaper) or a sod box. To make a sod box, place sod in a container such as a child's small, plastic swimming pool. You can also find dog litter products at a pet supply store.
If you have to clean up an accident outside the designated elimination area, put the soiled rags or paper towels inside that area afterward to help your puppy recognize the scented area as the place where they are supposed to eliminate.

Potty training
She's AMAZING!!!
Left her out with a potty pad placed in the previous accidents spot in the living room yesterday, 2/6/23, while getting baby rats.
Out for 7 hours - NO accidents, didn't even use pee pad.
2/7/23, Jack left her out for the work day for the first time - out for 8.5 hours, no accidents!!! Much excitement when I came home and discovered 3 dogs greeting me and no problems. Much excitement on her part to be able to immediately tackle my legs.

I just want to know how much these audiences overlap
Tumblr media
Please consider reblogging for a larger sample size.
*If you don't know what qualifies as "watching" (ie you're not done or have given up on the show), if you've watched season 1 to completion, then consider it as you’ve watched it.
Edit/clarification: If your definition of "watching" doesn't align with mine, that's fine. Use your own definition if you want, the definition I added was just for the people who I knew were going to comment under this with "OP, define 'watch'"

Fifteen years ago, the tv animation world was changed forever when a little show about a sailor boy with an adventurous spirit premiered on CN. Although it’s run was short, the series led to a renaissance of animated shows, such as Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, Regular Show, and more. So thanks, Flapjack, for being the godfather of 2010s animation.

Potty Training A Stubborn Puppy
Tumblr media
Potty training can be one of the most frustrating parts of raising a puppy. You think that you did everything correctly, and still: There are daily accidents that soil your home and ruin your fun with your puppy. How do you make your pup understand that he should not potty wherever he wants? How do you potty-train an especially stubborn puppy? We have potty-training solutions for you!
How do you potty-train a stubborn puppy?
Does it seem like your puppy is trying to defy you on purpose? First of all, please know that no pup is making you clean up his accidents out of spite or to annoy you. Your puppy loves you and wants to bond with you. Pee and poop accidents are never a sign that he is dumb or that he is working against you.
It’s really important to not become frustrated or rough with your puppy. He is a baby and just learning about the world! You need to make it a safe and welcoming place for him. He should never see you as unpredictable or mean.
How to stop your puppy from peeing inside
Let’s start at the beginning. Dogs are naturally clean animals that tend to not want to relieve themselves in what they consider their living quarters.
When puppies are first born, their mother clean them up every time they relieve themselves and keeps their whelping box squeaky clean. She teaches your puppy early on that cleanliness is a part of life.
Later, as they slowly learn to walk many breeders keep a litterbox with wood shavings in their puppy pen so that they can do their business in there.
This is where it gets tricky: Young puppies are actually pretty good at using the right potty area in a small space. They are however not very good at understanding that your whole house does not contain a place to go.
Until your puppy moves in with you, his whole life has been restricted to a rather small area. Absolutely no breeder or rescue worker lets a litter of puppies have the run of the house – they would destroy it very quickly.
Now that you adopted the puppy, he probably has a multitude of the space he used to have. He does not understand how there can possibly not be a bathroom space in all these rooms and hallways in your house.
He will probably make an effort to pick a quiet spot that is not very frequented by the family, such as a corner in your office, and decide that this is where he will go to the bathroom.
In order to stop him from peeing inside, you need to restrict the space he has access to!

My puppy won’t potty-train
Feel like your stubborn puppy just will not potty-train? Here are our solutions for the most common potty training problems.
My puppy won’t pee outside, then pees inside
Do you feel like your pup is waiting until you bring him inside, then he pees?
It’s not enough to open the door to the yard or install a doggy door and hope that your puppy will go outside to do his business in the beginning. Chances are that he might go outside, but then get distracted – he starts playing with a leaf, or sniffing or digging – and forgets all about the peeing. Then he comes back inside where all of a sudden he “remembers” he had to potty – and he has an accident.
If you don’t see what he is actually doing outside, you cannot be sure that he urinated – if you stay inside it can also happen that your puppy only “squeezes out a few drops” because he wants to get  back in and be with you fast.
The best way to ensure your puppy empties his whole bladder is to go with him and wait until he is done. For a puppy who gets distracted easily, use a leash to keep your puppy close by you and prevent him from running off and starting to play. That way you can also give him a treat or play with him as positive reinforcement after he has done his business.
These potty breaks need to happen very, very frequently in the beginning.
Tumblr media
How often does an 8 week old puppy pee?
For a 2 months old puppy I recommend taking him out after waking up, after eating, after playing, and every waking 20min regardless of the activity. At that age he cannot yet go for long period of time without needing bathroom breaks.
If your puppy plays for a long time, he might also need to be taken out during his playtime. It is a good idea to keep an eye on your watch or even set timers to help you stay on track.
Learn his cues: before he goes he will sniff the ground and start turning in a circle, that is when you pick him up and take him outside. (Once you observe closely, you will notice that the “potty dance” looks quite different from a dog who turns around and lies down when making himself comfortable.)
Should you scold a puppy for peeing inside?
Accidents will happen. Do not scold or discipline your puppy – he will not understand you are scolding him for picking the wrong spot. He will think you are unpredictable and become weary of you – we do not want that!
As he grows up, he will naturally learn to hold his bladder for a longer period of time.
If you find a soiled area, clean it up and try to be more observant next time. You can get specialty urine remover products in a pet supply store.
If you catch your puppy in the act, simply pick him up and carry him outside so he can finish there. Do not scold or discipline your puppy! This will only make him scared of you and destroy his trust.
Do you have an older dog that needs potty training? Potty training like this can happen at any age.
Tumblr media
My dog pees in house after going outside
In the beginning your puppy might not understand that he is supposed to go to the bathroom when you take him to his designated potty spot. He might tug on the leash, dig in the dirt or try to chase leaves.
It is important that you do not give up thinking “Maybe he does not have to go”. As soon as you taker your puppy back inside, all the distractions are gone and will make him remember he needed to go to the bathroom, and he will do it in some corner.
Instead, once you take your puppy outside, stand with him on a leash at his potty spot until he has gone to the bathroom. As soon as he does, you should reward your puppy. This can be done either in form of treats or games. Over time, he will learn that in order to play and get cookies, he needs to pee first, and get quicker and quicker at doing it.
How long should you use puppy pads?
Ideally, you should not use them at all. The longer you use the potty pad the harder it will become in the future to wean your puppy off them.
They Don’t Teach Your Puppy To Control His Bladder
If your puppy can go to the bathroom any time he feels like it by using the potty pad, he might never be able to hold his bladder for any longer amount of time. In potty training your puppy, the eventual goal is for him to be able to not pee for several hours if left alone. He can only learn this if we gradually increase the time between his bathroom breaks.
A potty pad makes this approach impossible, as the puppy has to never hold it, but can go at any point in time. This will slow down his learning and can even lead to a life-long dependence on potty pads (more on that below).
Dogs Are Not Born Knowing How To Pee On A Potty Pad
While the idea of a potty pad that can simply be thrown in the trash might sound a lot more sanitary than a puppy peeing on the floor, the reality is often a different one. The puppy does not know he is supposed to pee on the potty pad, and the potty pad only – this often results in half of the urine on the floor and the other half on the pad or a pile of poop just next to the edge of the potty pad.
In the time that it takes to teach your puppy how to properly use the potty pad, you might just as well teach him to go to the bathroom outside!
Potty Pads Are Fun To Destroy
Think of a young puppy who sits in his exercise pen, a bit bored and on the lookout for fun. If there is a potty pad in his pen, he will definitely try out his teeth on it. Some dogs do not destroy them too much, while others will tear the whole pad to shreds. Again, not really a gain in hygiene or cleanliness!
Potty Pads Can Become A Lifelong “Addiction”
Throughout the regular potty training process the dog learns to hold his urine for longer and longer amounts of time. If however he always has a pad available, this learning never happens. While pads can be a temporary option (for example after your dog has had surgery and cannot climb stairs to go outside), they should never be used as a long-term solution for potty training. Every healthy dog (yes, even small ones) is capable of being potty-trained without pads.
Are boy dogs easier to potty train?
No, both males and female puppies are the same when it comes to potty-training. There is no difference in their gender.
Some dogs are easier to potty-train than others, but this mostly comes down to size and breed. Large breed puppies are easier to potty train in general, whereas small breed pups take longer and have more accidents. It does not come down to whether they are boys or girls though!
Is there a magic solution?
I am often asked if there is a sure-proof solution to all potty training problems. As you might already expect – the answer is no.
There is no one tool you can buy to keep potty accidents from happening. Supervision and consistency is the key to successful potty training.
Because I hear this question regularly: No, spaying or neutering will not make potty training easier.
