Dear Mario,
On my puppy's potty training how do you find it best? Just rewards when he goes outside? Also how do I get him to start going to the door to let me know? I know it's a work in progress. What do you suggest?
Answer:
Each one is an individual and will learn at his or her own rate. The fundamental way to get started is to take him outside right after he has eaten or drank his water. If he does do his business, praise him well. If he does not go, then either put him in the kennel we shipped him in until he cries to get out, then at that time take him outside again. Repeat this until he does go. Then you let him run the house. I have found that the "Wee Wee pads" work very well to train them to do on paper versus anywhere in the home. You may need to place a few down in different areas at first. But as he learns you can get him used to one spot only.
If he does go in the house, scold him with a firm NO. Never hit him. This only makes him hand shy and it could lead to him to be so scared of hands that each time one is raised around him her will pee on himself from fear. I have found that patience, love and repetitive use of the same methods work wonders with any breed. Frenchies in particular are quite comical and aim to please their owners. Start training right away and the rewards will be endless.
Do contact me with any questions. Keep me posted on his progress and please share pictures of him with us.
Regards,
Mario
