How to potty train

Potty training a puppy involves consistency and patience. Here are some steps to help you:

1. Establish a routine: Take your puppy out at regular intervals, such as after meals, naps, and playtime.

2. Choose a designated spot: Pick a specific area in your yard where you want your puppy to go and consistently take them there.

3. Use positive reinforcement: Praise and reward your puppy when they do their business outside.

4. Watch for signs: Learn to recognize when your puppy needs to go, like sniffing or circling, and take them out immediately.

5. Be patient: Accidents will happen; never scold your puppy for accidents, as it can create fear. Instead, clean up without making a big deal of it.

6. Supervise: Keep a close eye on your puppy when indoors to prevent accidents.

7. Crate training: Use a crate to confine your puppy when you can't watch them, but don't leave them inside too long.

8. Consistency: Stick to your routine and be consistent in your training approach.

Remember, every puppy is different, so it may take time for them to learn. Stay positive, and your puppy will eventually catch on.
