Puppy 🐶 Potty Training 🤎

The key to puppy potty training is forming good habits rather than strict discipline. 🤎 Matching Toilet Preferences: Puppies choose their toilet spots considering factors like the feel of the surface on their paws, smell, cleanliness, and location. They tend to prefer soft or slightly textured surfaces, which pee pads often provide. 🤍 Caution with Anti-Slip Mats: If anti-slip mats are laid throughout the house, the tactile difference between the mat and the pad can be minimal, potentially confusing your puppy, so be cautious in the early stages of training. 💙 Location Selection: Place the potty area instinctively away from sleeping and eating areas, in a spot with low traffic. 🧡 No Treats on the Pad: Placing treats on the pee pad can lead your puppy to mistake the area for a resting or eating spot, so avoid this. 💜 Repetition and Praise: When your puppy shows signs of needing to go (like sniffing or circling), guide them to the correct potty spot and praise them generously when they succeed. This wasn't enough, so I prepared a video! The potty training video is in the comments!
