How long does it take to potty train a puppy and does anyone have any tips they can share?
It can take about 2 months, but you need to be diligent. Remember that if you do the crate training during that time right your accidents will be few and can even be none. Get a crate in which your puppy can lie down, but not run around. There are crates that can be made larger over time. At night the puppy should sleep in the crate. She may cry in the beginning but over time this crate will actual become her little own home. In the morning, the first thing you do is take her outside,and start saying ” go make” or some other term and when she pees praise her ( with words, you don’t have to give a treat). Then you can play with her, hold her, let her run around a bit and eat. Depending how long you do this, you may have to take her out again before you put her back in the crate. The key is that she doesn’t around the house unattanded for extended amount of time. All you have to do is repeat this. Take out of crate, take out , then play.
