How to Potty Train a Puppy

Congratulations! You’ve just added a furry new addition to your home!

Puppies are so awesome! They’re small, squish, soft, and oh-so cuddly. One look into those puppy dog eyes and you’ll be ready to swoon. That is, until you see a little “gift” on the rug or walk through a puddle of piddle on your tile floor.

Puppies are a lot like human babies, especially in regard to the whole potty thing. They don’t know where to go, and it’s often hard for them to hold it in; when the urge strikes, they just let it out wherever they are. As a pet parent, it’s up to you to teach your puppy where to use the bathroom.

While housebreaking a pup might seem like a daunting task, with the right tools, you’ll be surprised by how quickly your dog will learn. Here are some tips that will help you potty train your puppy so that you can enjoy less messes and frustrations and more playing and cuddling.
