When you come home with a new puppy it won’t take long before it dawns on that you need to teach him a few things. Certainly the thing you’ll want to show him first is where he should go for his toilet.

There is no need to panic. Training your pup to “go” outside doesn’t have to be hard. When you know how to train a dog, and you are firm with your training, you can teach him three steps.

First up you need to do is decide where you want him to “go”. Select somewhere. A secluded place at the back our your garden would be ideal. Somewhere out of sight at the end of your lawn, could work. Under a bush or a tree on the edge of your lot. There will be a number of, so choose one. This will be his toilet zone. Settle on this and don’t change your mind about it.

Right, then, the next thing you must do is observe your dog when he’s finished his meals. Most dogs will behave in a peculiar way when they are about to defecate and you have to learn your dog’s behavior. Your dog might stand dead still. Perhaps he will look directly and intensely at you. Young puppies often strain and quiver along their body. Whatever … you will see signs. When you think your dog is about to eliminate pick him up and move quickly outside to your elimination place.

When you do this, carry him out by the same path each time. This way you are teaching him to associate his need to “do his business with “outside”.

When you get to the toilet place stay with your dog then, at the time he begins to eliminate say a special word of command. Your pup will associate that command with “going”, and soon will only eliminate when you give him permission by saying that word. Choose your word wisely, though. It needs to be a word you can use in places like car parks or parks or streets, where there are people around. Sometimes when you are out with other people your dog will show signs of wanting to “go”. He will expect you to say your special word, so make it unembarrassing.Outside, at your designated area, stay with your dog and as his bowels begin to move, say a word — give a command. Your pup will learn to link that word with “going” and eventually will only do that when you say the word. Select your training signal with care. It has to be a word you can use in public. There will probably be occasions when you are out and your dog needs to “go potty”. He will be listening for you to say your training word, so pick one that won’t embarrass you at the time.When you’re outside at the location you’ve chosen don’t leave the dog on his own. Watch until he begins to “go” and then – and here’s the magic – say a word to him. Quickly your new dog will associate your word with eliminating and eventually he will only “go” when you give the command. Naturally you will need to choose that word after some thought. It has to be a word you can use in public. Sometimes it will happen, when you are out with your dog in a park , he will start to strain and obviously want to eliminate. He will anticipate you will give him your permission, so you will want to have one that will not have onlookers laughing at you.

The last thing to do, when he has “gone” in the right place is to reward him. Food is an option for this. Maybe the click of a clicker. But that he’s fantastic!

Just make these simple steps and your puppy will quickly learn that the place to do his business is not on your magnificent carpet!
