A new puppy is supposed to bring joy and happiness to the entire household; however, that is not always the case. It is hard to feel joy when you constantly find urine stains and little "presents" left throughout your house. One thing to remember though, your puppy must be taught where to potty, almost as a child must be potty trained.

The first thing to remember in housetraining your puppy is that it will take time, and depending on the breed, lots of it. Smaller dogs tend to take longer to train than larger breeds so keep that in mind when you are selecting your new puppy. A puppy simply cannot control it's bladder for more than a few hours at a time. If you plan to be gone for more than a few hours every day, you might want to put off getting a puppy, or arrange for someone to come and let the puppy out.

Another helpful hint in training is to put your puppy on a feeding schedule. Often, if you feed your puppy at a regular time, he will need to potty at a regular time also. In general, a puppy will usually need to go out within about 30 minutes of feeding. Also, be sure to feed your pet a high quality puppy food. Better quality ingredients will help keep your puppy regular.

The biggest problem encountered with house training is consistency. You must take your puppy out on a somewhat regular schedule, and take your puppy to the same area. The need for one main potty area is that your puppy will smell their previous elimination, and will learn to recognize that area as the potty area. This also comes in handy when you are short on time. When you take your puppy out, simply take it to the potty area and it will recognize what you want it to do from the smell.

House training a puppy takes a lot of commitment and vigilance. By following some basic guidelines and staying committed, you and your puppy will both enjoy the comfort that house training can bring.
