Day 24: Puppy Potty Training

Puppies are easy to potty train because they naturally want to do their potty business away from their sleeping area. Typically when a puppy wakes up, they do a wake up routine that includes wandering. I have their area set up for a convenient wake up to wandering transition. I use gravity to help them, their sleeping pad is thicker than their potty area so they roll out onto it. They wake up in their nice cozy bed, stand up, stretch and gravity takes those wobbly legs to the potty area. They find themselves on this nice sturdy flat pee pad and naturally relieve themselves. On a day like today when it is freezing cold and freezing wind, these IG's do not want to go outside. So the adult dogs have a pee pad set up too. Mama has a pee tray, and the boys have a pee stand. I clip a pee pad on an X-pen panel and they know to go there. Since I trained them as small pups to use the pee pad, I can clip a pee pad anywhere and they know that is the place to go. This is helpful when we are traveling, showing or staying in hotels. #PuppyPottyTraining #ItalianGreyhoundPuppies #DaintyAcresItalianGreyhounds If you like what you see, please SUBSCRIBE by clicking the button!    / italiangreyhounds   You can also see more photos and shinanigans in the training studio by going to DaintyAcres.com.
