If you have a new puppy, it can be difficult to know where to start on housetraining. Thankfully,\u00a0Georgia-based veterinarian Dr. Chris Stearns\u00a0and\u00a0professional dog behaviorist Stephanie Daughtrey\u00a0are here with some helpful tips.<\/p>\n

The experts advise owners to be patient and stay upbeat and, armed with a little knowledge and the right cleaning products, the process will go a lot easier.<\/p>\n

Here are the tips:<\/p>\n

1. Know Potty Triggers<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

Triggers are typically feelings of excitement, like when visitors arrive, and particular times of day, like after he wakes up or right before bed. Puppies will need to go after eating and\/or drinking \u2013 usually within 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

2. Establish a Routine<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

Find a designated \u201cpotty patch\u201d outdoors so your dog can associate that space with doing his business. Start by leash walking the pup to that spot so he can focus before spending any time playing.<\/p>\n

Consider keeping him on a leash inside too. If he starts to squat to urinate, clap or make a sharp sound that will stop him in the act. You can transfer him outside to finish and praise him there.<\/p>\n

Give them a treat when they go potty outside \u2013 that reinforces the good behavior right then and there. Praise them with a happy tone of voice.<\/p>\n

3. Avoid Indoor Accidents<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

Puppies will need to go outside every one or two hours. It\u2019s the owner\u2019s responsibility to provide plenty of time outdoors, otherwise if left unattended for extended periods; a puppy will find a place to piddle.<\/p>\n

Close exists to other rooms with doors or baby gates so the puppy can\u2019t explore the unused parts of the house.<\/p>\n

4. Clean Messes Immediately<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to remove both the stain and the odor so puppy won\u2019t use the spot as a scent marker for future accidents. Start by blotting or scooping to remove as many solids or liquids as possible. Then treat the mess with a pet stain and odor remover that has the\u00a0Carpet and Rug Institute’s Seal of Approval<\/a>.\u00a0Each certified product that features the\u00a0national trade association\u2019s seal goes through rigorous testing in an independent laboratory, so you can be confident you\u2019re treating the stain, removing the odors, and protecting the integrity of your carpet.<\/p>\n

If your carpet becomes deeply soiled from multiple accidents and dirty little puppy paws, you may want to consider hiring a professional carpet cleaner. For those with allergies, frequent vacuuming and regularly-scheduled cleaning will remove virtually all embedded allergens and pet dander.\u00a0Certified CRI Seal of Approval service providers<\/a>\u00a0have the experience needed to treat stains, remove odors and leave carpet looking like new.<\/p>\n

5. Spay or Neuter<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

Unneutered dogs typically urinate more in the house as an action of marking their territory, so it\u2019s something every caring pet parent should consider. Follow your veterinarian\u2019s instructions for the right time to spay or neuter your dog.<\/p>\n

And enjoy your new puppy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
