Puppy Toilet Training - Don't Use Puppy Pads

Let's talk puppy training – specifically, a topic that might be causing more mess and confusion than you realize: Puppy Pads.

Why I Say No to Puppy Pads:

Many well-intentioned puppy parents resort to using puppy pads to handle those inevitable indoor accidents. But, here's the scoop: it might be doing more harm than good.

Here's why:

• Encouraging Indoor Toileting: Puppy pads can send the wrong message, telling your pup it's okay to toilet inside. They might associate it with their breeder's setup and think that's the designated spot.

• Disrupting Toileting Routine: Using puppy pads can throw off your pup's natural toileting routine, making it challenging to establish a consistent schedule.

• Promoting Unwanted Behaviors: Believe it or not, those innocent pads can turn into an attention-seeking game for your puppy, fostering behaviors you'd rather avoid.

So, What's the Alternative?

Here's a simple, effective approach:

1. Minimal Reaction to Accidents: When accidents happen, keep calm. Remove your puppy from the area without fuss, and clean up the mess without providing attention.

2. Establish a Toileting Routine: Set a consistent toileting routine, especially during the initial stages (every 30-90 minutes).

3. Use Positive Reinforcement: When outside, wait patiently for your pup to go. Introduce a cue word (like 'Be clean'), and when they do their business, reward them with praise and a tasty treat.
