How to Train Your Little Pup to Potty Outside

After reading this article you will have the knowledge to train your puppy in just a few short days to potty outside.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A Puppy

1. Your first step is to watch and study your puppy. Learn when they need to go potty (i.e. after meals, naps, and play). Watch for them to start sniffing around, that is a sure fire sign that they need to go potty!

2. Your next step is to grab your pup as they are sniffing around and say "Gotta go potty?" and then carry them outside. Place them in the grass far from the door and step back a foot. Give them encouragement as they continue to sniff around the grass. If your puppy tries to just run back to the door pick them up and repeat this step till they potty.

3. After your puppy as gone potty give them a hug or a treat, whatever you feel like is the best encouragement. Then go on with your life but still keep an eye on your puppy because going outside one time doesn't mean they won't use the inside again as their restroom.

Tips & Warnings

• Bonding with your dog and keeping them happy is the best way for them to learn in a hurry!
• Don't let your pup out smart you. If its cold and they don't want to pee outside sometimes they will fake like they are just so that you will take them in. Always check.
