Indoors, make sure to set up a separate space that your dog can use in the event that you are not at home or cannot get them outside in time.
This space should be easy to clean up, and you can use artificial grass for pets to make it feel more realistic. Choosing this surface material offers several benefits over puppy pads since it can be reused by simply rinsing it off.
You can place it anywhere, including your balcony or patio. Once you have set up your indoor potty area, show your dog that it is a safe place to use the restroom by giving the potty command and praising successful attempts.
Follow Your Dog’s Cues
As you get to know your puppy, you will learn their cues for needing to use the restroom.
Whining, pawing at the door or squatting are a few common ways dogs let you know they need to go outside. Some dogs will also sniff at the ground and turn in circles as though they are trying to find the right spot. When you notice the cues, stop what you are doing and take them outside.
Once they are in their designated spot, give the command and praise them when they use the potty.
