In this video, I look at the subject of puppy toilet training (sometimes known as potty training). In the third video of the 'Puppy Training Journey', I begin to look at the various components to the subject of toilet training. In theory, it's quite a simple process, but the steps must be followed for an outcome that endures, and so that the puppy is being rewarded for toileting in locations we DO want, rather than to reprimand or become frustrated for unwanted behaviour in locations we DON'T want.
The key points to remember with toilet training are the frequency with the visits (maybe every 30-60 minutes with a little puppy like Ruby) and watching the puppy for any of the key behaviours or times that I mention in the video.
Ruby responds well to voice and touch for praise and food will be tried a bit later on. She loves her food, but not so much the crunchy treats at the moment due to her puppy teeth.
I've not mentioned it in this video, but we're not using puppy pads and never have. This only creates a habit that the pup needs to 'unlearn' later on. Put in the hard work early on and it will pay great dividends!
