Puppy Potty Training Using Papers

If you choose to potty train your puppy with papers, be aware that this will create a preference for your puppy. He may eliminate on any newspapers lying on any part of your house. But however, if you choose to train your puppy or dog using papers, do follow these paper puppy potty training guidelines:

  • When your puppy is confined to a room that is covered with papers, sooner or later, he will develop a habit of eliminating on papers at a certain area.
  • As time goes by, gradually and slowly remove the paper that is furthest away from his chosen elimination area. Make sure to remove the papers slowly.
  • If the puppy failed to eliminate on the papers, then you are removing the papers too quickly. Go back and try again by covering a larger area with papers.
  • When you notice that your puppy is consistently eliminating only at the papers you left, it is the time to move the paper to your preferred potty area, making sure to do it slowly and gradually.
  • If your puppy misses the paper again, that means you’re going way too fast for your puppy to catch up. Go back a few steps and try again.
  • Remember, it is absolutely normal to have minor setbacks in puppy potty training. Don’t be surprised if you need to go all the way back to covering the entire room with papers. With great determination and commitment, your puppy will soon be paper potty trained.

Note: Remember that paper training your puppy or dog will only encourage him to eliminate only on papers. If you wish to train your puppy to eliminate outdoors, this house training process may not be suitable for you. If you could not be home to supervise your puppy, a better alternative to paper training is to use a dog litter box that is able to absorb urine odors and it smells and feels like outdoors. Always remember that consistency is the key to successful puppy potty training.

Recommended Puppy Potty Training Equipment:

Dog Leash - You need a dog leash as part of the puppy potty training process. Dog leash is needed to take your puppy for elimination at the chosen area.

Dog urine odor cleaner/remover - You may need to purchase dog urine odor cleaner/remover to eliminate the scent of your puppy’s urine or feces at home so that your puppy will not develop a habit of eliminating at the same spot again.

Dog Litter Product - Use dog litter product as a substitute for using papers to potty train your puppy. This product is capable of absorbing urine odors and it smells and feels like outdoors. Thereby, you don’t have to worry about your puppy developing a habit of eliminating on papers only.
