Tips for Housebreaking Puppies

Video Transcript

" Hi, my name is Tracey Tenner and this is Doc. I’m the resident dog trainer and behaviorist here at Extra Care Hospital in Davy, Florida. We are here to talk to you today about how to house train your puppy. When it comes to potty training your puppies, my basic rule of thumb is this. When I find myself wondering does my puppy have to go I get up and I take him or her out. It can’t hurt. It’s important to remember that puppies have to go a lot. The smaller your puppy and the smaller the breed, the smaller their bladder the more often they are going to have to go. The more water they drink, the more often they are going to have to go. The higher the activity level in the house, the more often they are going to have to go. So once again, when you find yourself wondering does my puppy have to go. Get up, grab the leash and go outside and give them an opportunity to do the right thing. "
