Puppy house training

Most puppies aren’t house trained when you first bring them home. While you’ll need plenty of patience, this is a great chance to develop the bond you have with your pet.

1. Repetition

Doing things at the same time everyday, from feeding and walking to sleeping, helps your puppy get into a regular routine

2. Control

Keeping your puppy on the lead when you take them to the toilet means they don’t wander off and use places free of distractions

3. Consistency

Using the same simple command like "be quick" or "Toilet" just before the puppy urinates that acts as a recognisable trigger for your puppy

4. Reward

Praising your puppy when they go with a treat or praise to let them know that you approve
