puppy training housebreaking pads
How should I housebreak my puppy?
I’m thinking about getting a pug puppy but training to potty train might be a problem. I’m home most of the time, but have to work two days a week. Those 2 days a week are 14 hour days. Should the dog be trained strictly using those pee pads, because crate training would probably be out of the question. Any suggestions?
14 hours for 2 days is way too long to leave a puppy.
You need to see if you can make arrangements for the pup to go to a sitter on those days.
Training them to go outside is best. Consistency is key, you have to take them out every hour or so to the same spot & give a command such as “go potty” when they go you give loads of praise. Puppies should also be taken out after naps, eating & playing.
Restrict his roam of the house to one or 2 rooms until he gets it & can be trusted.
Crates are wonderful to use when you are sleeping or have to run errands & the dog cannot go. You can’t leave a puppy loose in the house unattended, he/she will chew everything in sight including wires which could prove deadly.
