Rewarding Your Puppy During Potty Training
There are a number of acceptable ways to potty train your new puppy, but one thing you must do during whatever process you choose to use is constantly reward the young dog after it does the right thing. Puppies love to please their new families. Most of the annoying or wrong things that puppies do are things that they don’t have a lot of control over. As they learn to go potty on paper or outside, rewarding them will reinforce what they are learning and hopefully help them master it sooner. A reward for a puppy or full size dog does not always have to be food. Dogs are very social animals and a reward can be as simple as scratching the tummy or playing ball, of course rewards can also be any of the tasty treats that dogs of all ages love to eat.
