Now, while we're on the topic of potty training.
Do you know the top five ways, puppy signal to us that they need to go out?
Number one, sniffing.
Now I know what you're thinking.
My dog sniffs at everything all the time.
How do I know the difference?
Well, this sniffing usually comes about 10 minutes after eating or drinking, and usually
includes haphazard, circling, or zigzagging all around the room.
This is instead of that slow, methodical sniffing, where they're just checking things out.
Sniffing tends to kick their system into high gear and makes them feel as if they have to
go even more
something to keep in mind.
Number two, circling if your puppy is sniffing and circling all around.
You can guarantee an accident's about to happen.
So you better head outside.
Usually, pups sniff and circle to find just the right spot to go.
Make sure they go outside in a designated potty spot, not on your new rug or in the
kitchen on the floor.
Next up Number three… barking.
It can be really hard to tell which bark is for potty and which is for play or which is
for alerting you to a noise.
This bark usually comes about 10 minutes after eating or maybe right after they wake up from
a nap.
You can also teach your pup that every time they do bark, you're going to take them out.
This helps them learn that this signal works.
Of course, maybe you don't want them barking, and you'd rather have them ring a set of potty
bells.
I'll cover more about this and the steps to take to work on this in the new puppy starter
kit,
Moving on to number four, scratching at the door.
This one I discourage as I don't want my dogs to tear up my door.
So if you let them out, when they scratch, you were telling them that scratching equals
access outside.
Instead, I'd teach them to sit by the door or ring those potty bells I mentioned a moment
ago.
I mentioned before, this is far more effective than barking and destroying your door, right?
Number five, sneaking off.
Most dogs don't know how to tell you that they need to go out.
And honestly, they don't always know until the second they need to go.
And when you gotta go, you gotta go.
Right?
Well, dogs tend to wander off to try to find just the right spot to go.
That's why it's super important not to do what most new puppy owners do, which is....
Give them access to the whole home too soon.
This is a common mistake and one that can really set back your training progress
Too much space too soon isn’t advised.
Remember if they're constantly sniffing, they're going to need to go outside more frequently.
So you're going to want to limit the space to one room right now until they can be trusted
not to have an accident or chew up your belongings.
These tips aren't even the tip of the iceberg.
They're more like a tiny little ice cube attached to a giant iceberg.
So to grab the rest of the iceberg, you better grab the new puppy starter kit.
