Potty Training

Puppies on average go to the bathroom approximately 15 minutes after they eat, and when they wake up from a nap. Take them outside, or place them on a puppy pad to avoid unwanted accidents. Consistency is the key to successful puppy potty training.

First Nights.....

We strive hard to send our puppies home; healthy, happy, and ready to face the world. However, like people all puppies are different (that is what makes each one so special). Going to a new home can be a scary and even stressful time for your puppy, some puppies adjust faster than others. Below are a few recommendations to help your puppy acclimate quickly & smoothly.

Creating a comfortable and consistent routine can help your puppy adjust to their new surroundings quicker. Make sure they have a cozy, safe, quiet space, and a predictable schedule. Avoid giving in to their cries immediately; instead, reassure them and gradually extend the time between comforting visits.
When your puppy arrives home they are still developing, and most are unable to hold their bladder through the night. If you hear a cry that is different from their "I don't want to be alone cry", take them outside for a quick potty break. Most puppies are housetrained by 5 months. A consistent routine is the "key" to success.
Remember that your puppy’s nighttime behavior won’t last forever. Be patient, provide positive reinforcement, and maintain a consistent routine. Over time, your puppy will learn to feel secure and sleep peacefully through the night.
