Puppy Training Pads

Say you live in a small space, like an apartment, and aren't home enough to take your puppy/dog out regularly. Puppy training pads may be part of the answer. Most dogs can be housetrained easily if you start with the new tools available.Indoor training requires the same adherence to a strict schedule as outdoor training does, but you will be placing your pet on training pads or newspaper instead of going outside. Find a space away from your pet's eating and sleeping area that can be easily cleaned up. Cover a larger area than is needed - 3-4 square feet - with training pads. Reduce the area as tie goes on. Take your puppy there after each meal or drink of water and after each nap and also if he looks anxious or is circling the floor. Using verbal commands helps as does generous praise when the job is complete. Always correct with a firm voice if a mistake is made. Positive reinforcement is always better than punishment.
