Puppy Potty Training Indoors

Puppy potty training is not limited to bringing your puppy outdoors whenever she needs to potty. There are methods that you can use to teach your puppy the proper place to potty inside your home.

Types

Puppy potty training indoors can consist of paper training, disposable or reusable pad training, or litter box training.

Size

Consider how large your puppy will be as an adult before puppy potty training him indoors. Smaller breeds are more appropriate for indoor potty habits because they need to potty more often than larger breeds, and they have a smaller area in which they will potty.

Time Frame

How long it takes to potty train your puppy will depend largely upon her. Expect indoor potty training to take between 1 to 4 weeks.

Considerations

Pick one spot where you want your puppy to potty to avoid confusing him. Keep the potty spot away from your general living areas. Don't isolate the area too much, or your puppy will find more convenient places to potty.

Benefits

Puppy potty training indoors is convenient for apartment dwellers, people who work outside the home, or people who have a hard time getting outside.
