Potty Training a Puppy While at Work

Potty Training a Puppy While at Work. Potty training a puppy can be the most frustrating aspect of puppy ownership, especially for those who work during the day. Potty training your puppy can be less stressful if you educate yourself on the subject. With the correct technique, your puppy will be trained in no time.

Crate

Crate training your puppy is essential for those who work. Puppies will think of the crate as their den, and dogs will not potty in their den.

Dog Sitter

Puppies have small bladders and must go potty every four hours on average. Find someone to check in on your puppy and take it out.

Food

Feed you puppy dry food. Canned or packaged food contains a lot of moisture and will cause your puppy to go potty more often. It will also create wet and loose stool.

Cleanliness

Keep the puppy's crate clean. If it has an accident, clean it up right away. Puppies will potty where they smell urine or feces.

Puppy School

Many training schools offer daytime potty training services. They will house break your puppy while you are at work.

Patience

Potty training a puppy takes a lot of patience. Expect accidents, and do not punish your puppy for accidents you did not see. If you work long hours, or are short on patience, do not adopt a puppy.
