Potty training a dog can be stressful both for the pet and the pet owner. However, by being diligent—and persistent—you will help them develop a routine that can help prevent accidents and unpleasant smells in your home that may require pet stain and odor removal services. The guide below offers advice for how to get started with your puppy.

Do:

Familiarize them with textures.

Often, dogs will learn potty training by figuring out what materials they can and cannot go to the bathroom on. Therefore, if your dog seems to like to relieve themselves on grass, guide them there again the next time you take them out. Putting your pet on a leash—even within your fenced-in backyard—can help you keep them on task.

Create a consistent schedule.

Eventually, they will get used to the routine, which will reduce their likelihood of relieving themselves outside that schedule. However, be careful of occasions like Daylight Saving Time, where the abrupt shift in light can lead to setbacks.

Don't:

Feed pets excessively.

Most puppies have delicate digestive tracts, so it's vital to control their food quantity and meal schedule. Three small meals daily are sufficient to keep your pet happy. If they have leftovers of either food or water, take them out of reach before bed rather than leting them indulge in midnight snacking or drinking.

Let pet odor linger on the carpet.

Procrastinating on pet stain and odor removal can sabotage potty training. If the scent lingers on your carpet, your dog may think this area is their territory, encouraging them to pee on it again. If store-bought solutions can't get the stains and unpleasant smell off the fabric, have your carpet deep-cleaned instead so that the same problems don’t recur.
