How do I potty train my puppy?

House–training will not be successful without supervision, consistency, and guidance on the part of the human members of the household.  Using the four-legged chair analogy can best sum up the critical parts of house-training. The four leg of the chair represent the four parts that contribute towards a successful house-training effort.  In order for a chair to stand, all four legs should be solid and equal. If one leg is missing, out of place, or shorter than the others, we have a chair that is unstable and falls over. The four-legged chair comparison helps sum up the importance of the four parts that lead to effective house-training of your puppy.

The four parts (or legs) of the house-training are:

  1. Crate Training and Supervision
  2. Regular Schedule
  3. Feedback and Discipline
  4. Cleaning up Accidents
