Teaching your puppy how to go potty correctly is one of the first big things you train your new family member to do. There are many things to think about and do to make the potty training process easier for you and your pup.

If you notice your dog needs to go potty, take them out right away.
Do not punish your puppy for having an accident, it could lead to your puppy fearing you and making the process more difficult. Instead, praise them properly when they do something good.
If they continue to go potty at inappropriate places, or more than once every hour, consult your veterinarian to rule out possible medical issues.
