2. Have a puppy potty schedule. You must take your pup to the designated toilet spot every 60 minutes. Your pup must be either in a crate, in a penned off area or tethered to your chair if you work at home. You must NOT let your pup roam the house hold freely. That will come when you are able to trust your pups bladder and bowel (a very important relationship indeed!).
3. Have a command for toileting that your entire house hold is able to remember and use every single time they take their pup to the toilet area. As mentioned, every 60 minutes, take your pup to this spot and you should walk back and forth here, even circle around and around. While you do that repeat the command that you have chosen to cue your puppy to eliminate. I use "toilet time". Whatever you choose, pick it and stick with it. Your pup is going to associate that phrase with eliminating or emptying out. This is the first of MANY obedience training commands you will teach your pup in its life time.
4. When your pup sniffs at the ground, circles and squats you need to keep saying the command over and over. Even while your pup is doing its business you need to repeat it. The moment it finishes, you need to go nuts! Let your puppy know that it is the best thing since blue m&m's and you are SO proud. Enthusiastically praise the puppy and she will associate it with a positive reaction from you. If your puppy circles and sniffs but shows no signs of wanting to squat, take her back inside and place her back on her tether, or in her crate or pen and try again in 15-20 minutes.
5. If your pup has had a successful toilet trip then reward her again by giving her some supervised play time in the home. Have a chew toy or a game with her and really spend some great quality time with her. When she shows signs of fatigue, place her back in her pen or crate or on her tether if you are sitting at that chair.
6. If you can rinse and repeat this for every 60 minutes of your day you will have your pup toilet trained quickly and efficiently. Remember, for every mistake your pup makes, its another behaviour you will need to correct. It is all about eliminating the opportunities to make mistakes.
At night you are going to need to get up to your pup perhaps 2 to 3 times. You will need to set your alarm for this. Just go through the same routine with placing your pup on the lawn and circling, whilst saying the command for toileting. Don't worry, this is a relatively short period of time that you will have to have night time toilet calls. Your pup has a very small bladder and bowel when it is young and it is unfair and often physically impossible for it to hold on an entire night.
