Simple potty-training basics, a general puppy holding-capacity guide, signs your puppy needs to go, and tips for staying consistent.
Potty training takes consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. Choose one potty spot, take your puppy out often—especially after waking, eating, playing, and naps—and praise immediately when they go outside. Use a crate or pen when you cannot supervise, clean accidents thoroughly with an enzymatic cleaner, and watch for signs such as sniffing, circling, whining, heading toward the door, or squatting.
