House Training A Puppy Doesn’t Have To Be Hard
When most people bring home new puppies house training is the first thing on their mind. You don’t want to spend time cleaning up after them. You want to spend time playing and enjoying them! Dogs and puppies are very intelligent. They don’t want to make messes for you to clean any more than you want to clean them up. They are loyal and devoted and want to make you happy. That is why it is so important to start early and follow the right steps to achieve your goals and learn the right puppy training techniques.

One thing we did early on to toilet train a puppy – our puppy a little Cocker Poodle mix – was to not leave her unsupervised. Our prior dog (which we no longer have) we crate trained but this time we decided to not go that route. We kept her on her leash while with us in the living room or wherever we went in the house. When leaving we put the leash under the leg of a table in the living room so she knew it was “her area” and she wouldn’t soil it. Eventually, with her puppies house training routine we let her off the leash more and more.
We didn’t neglect other tips like taking her out after feeding and drinking. (See my other posts for more tips like these.) One of the most important aspects is to learn how to communicate with your dog for effective training. Learn how to read them. They can’t talk but most communication with other humans involves a lot of body language. Dogs and puppies use a lot of body language! You also need to learn how to use positive reinforcement correctly. You could be doing it improperly to be the most effective.

House Training Puppies When They Get Excited
House training puppies is one of the areas of dog ownership that leads to misunderstanding and confusion. Puppies are the usual candidates for excited urination, but it’s not uncommon to see adult dogs with the problem too.
When does it happen?
Situations when an excited dog is likely to urinate:
- Greeting time after a prolonged absence
- Play time
- The arrival of guests
- Sudden loud noises (thunder, fireworks)
What can be done about it?
Fortunately, it’s not difficult to “cure” your dog of it’s excited urination.
First of all, you should take it to the vet to make sure there’s no medical reason for the issue (like diabetes or a bladder infection.)
Next, it’s time to take control of the problem:
- Limit their intake of water to help control it’s bladder more effectively. Do not restrict their water intake over a long period of time, but if you know a situation is coming that would normally result in an accident like guests coming over or a play session is coming soon, take it’s water bowl away for a period of time (maybe half an hour to an hour) before the event.
- When greeting your dog, be calm and mellow. The more excited it gets, the harder it is for it to control it’s bladder. Don’t encourage it to get worked up. Ignore it for the first few moments, or give it a neutral “hello,” a quick pat, and then go about making yourself at home. You can give it more “love” later but don’t go too crazy.
- It’s important to NOT punish or harshly correct your dog for this behavior. It’s not something that it can easily control, and it’s certainly not doing it on purpose. When you catch it in the act, you can interrupt it. Give a firm “No!” followed by praise when it stops. Keep your cool, and try to be sympathetic: it doesn’t mean to do it, after all!
It may be funny to see them urinate a little when they get excited but use these tips, stick with the training and you can help them keep it under control.

Puppies House Training Made Simple
Simply put, a puppies house training is about consistency. In order to effectively toilet train a puppy you need to use the same verbal and visual cues to help him or her understand what it is you are trying to teach. They also need a lot of encouragement. Remember, it is a natural process for them and they are like a newborn baby learning to control their body and want to please you as much as you want them to relieve themselves in the appropriate spot.
When beginning the training your puppy needs to be supervised at all times while indoors. Do not let it wander around where it could relieve itself without your knowledge. Thirty minutes after eating, sleeping or playing a puppy will most likely have a strong urge to eliminate so take it to the appropriate spot that you have chosen.
When you are taking it to eliminate do not let it play around. Give it a max of ten minutes then return. If you want to play that is fine but keep that activity separate from the going potty routine.
Remember that rather than punishing them for undesirable elimination the goal should be to train the puppy with close supervision and rewards for going in the right spot. Soon the puppy will learn to give you signs that it needs to go before there is an accident.

Who Am I?
My name is Jim and I love watching (and playing with) my kids and all their activities. We bring our puppy to the outdoor games. It makes me feel old to see how fast they are growing up. Where did the time go? My six-year-old son is teaching me chess! How to potty train a dog is something I know a lot of people struggle with. I created this site to help others learn as I did so we can have more fun with our puppy instead of getting frustrated.
