Potty Training Tips for your puppy!
​Your baby puppy has a small bladder. He will need to empty it very regularly. At 8 wks he will need to have a regular potty routine (about every hr) after: early rising, eating and each drink, play, nap, training session, afternoon nap, dinner, socializing with family, before t.v., just before bedtime (10:30).​ Plus any time you see him sniff and circle.
Food and Water dishes
One of the nice things you can do for your baby is ensure that he has a wholesome and nutritious diet. After all you do want him/her to be healthy, disease free and live a long happy life. We recommend metal dishes because they can't be chewed, easy to clean and are not porous so that old food and bacteria can hide. Remember to wash the dishes and replace with clean water after every meal.
Night time sleep
Puppies first few nights will be unsure for your puppy. At about 10:00pm after his last drink and potty outing, put the puppy in his dome crate with a last hug and fluffy towel. If the crate is full size put a box at the back to reduce the area for sleep just big enough to be comfortable. Now turn off the lights, put a blanket over most of the crate leaving some breathing holes for air movement. Keep the puppy within hearing shot so that you can hear him if he gets upset. We never want to extinguish his communication with you. If he wakes up and becomes afraid because of the new surroundings just give him a hug, drink, a trip to the potty spot and return him with a kiss to his bed. He should be fine and within a few days will sleep through the night.
Exercise and Play
​Puppies love to run around explore and test everything out with their nose and mouth. They are new to the world and the world is filled with wonder. Don't be surprised that at first your puppy will tire out fast. He or she will not tire of investigating every corner of your house and crawling under every bush in your yard and garden. This is the reason we deworm every two weeks. Not only will he sniff things, eat things but everything will be licked and things you recognize as yucky will be chewed and swallowed. Give your puppy lots of encouragement and let him be a puppy. The occasional stern 'No' will be necessary, just pick him up and divert his attention by moving away from what you don't want him to be into and send him/her onto something more acceptable. Remember raising a puppy is like raising a child.
Train your puppy to retrieve
Climbing stairs
Here is how you get your puppy to retrieve a ball. First fry up the chicken for your treat bag, cut into 1/2 inch cubes, than take some of the drippings and put it onto a ball the size of a tennis ball. Next take your puppy, treat bag and ball outside. Now, put the ball down on the grass with your puppy beside it. When your puppy picks up the ball take it from him gently and give him a treat, don't forget each right action must also be accompanied by verbal approval and a pat on the head. Do this several times, rolling the ball a few inches farther each time. Don't be in a hurry, your puppy will learn to get the ball and bring it back for the treat within minutes and he will retrieve it from a further distance each day you practice with him/her until the day he is just getting it when you throw it out onto the lawn.

​Your new puppy will not be able to negotiate stairs for quite a while so do not force him/her. If she/he is reluctant just pick her/him up and walk down the stairs. No sense making the puppy afraid of stairs when he/she is not confident enough to do this on his/her own. Generally when they are about 4 to 5 months they can be coaxed down with treats and back up again. The same rules applies, use: patience, train over a period of time a little every day and don't forget to use lots of verbal excitement and treats when your baby has done the right thing. The important thing to remember is that he/she will know by your happy excited voice that they are doing what you want.
