Puppies

D o not blame yourself, but more importantly, do not get cross with your puppy. If you find a mess, simply clean it up, making sure you use a deodorizer so he is not tempted to go in the same place again. There is no point in scolding your puppy after the event—he will not associate the scolding with what he has done, and you will only confuse him. If you catch your puppy red-handed, pick him up, take him out to his toileting area and give him the verbal cue you have taught him. If he obliges, remember to give lots of praise. Puppies tend to give warning signals before they go, so be on the alert if you see your pup sniffing or circling when he is in the house. Take him outside without delay.
