You Can Housetrain Your Puppy Using House Training Aids

There are many ways to housetrain your puppy. You can do it the "old fashioned" way by taking him out often and each time he eats, or you can use one of the housetraining aids. There are a variety of housetraining aids on the market, from housetraining pads to odor source locators to housetraining litter. It may take some trial and error to find the method that is right for your puppy. You may even find that your puppy needs a combination of housetraining aids. Whatever the case, patience, love and lots of encouragement will help our puppy learn to do his business where you want him to, whether it is outside or in a certain spot.

Housetraining Pads

Housetraining pads have a plastic or waterproof backing so that moisture does not leak onto the floor, and an absorbent pad that acts as a sponge and keeps your puppy's business on the pad and not your rug. Many of the housetraining pads have material in them that are similar to disposable diapers for babies.

They are super absorbent and are usually scent treated so that your puppy is encouraged to go on the pad. Some people swear by housetraining pads and others scoff at their effectiveness. Again, it really depends on the dog as to whether or not it is effective. If you decide to give it a try, place the pad in one area and always keep a pad in that area so that the puppy gets used to doing his business in that one spot. If you want to teach him to go outside, place the pad by the door first, then move it outside as he becomes accustomed to using it.
