How To House Train A Poodle Puppy

Congratulations on your new poodle puppy! If you’re reading this book, this is likely your first-ever puppy or it’s been a long time since you’ve had a puppy in the house and you need a bit of a refresher.
Not to worry. House training a poodle is really quite easy. It does require paying attention to detail, being patient, praising your puppy and developing a predictable routine. But with these four components, your poodle puppy will be house trained in no time.
There are several methods of house training a dog and selecting the right method for your lifestyle is really important. No matter which one you choose, you still need to pay attention to details, be patient, praise your puppy and develop a predictable routine. Some training styles you may have heard of are clicker training, crate training, tether/umbilical cord training, freestyle training and punishment.
Research has demonstrated that punishment does not work. Urinating and defecating are natural bodily functions and it’s your job to teach your puppy WHERE to do his business. If he piddles on the floor and you rub his nose in it he won’t understand that his mistake was WHERE he piddled. Even worse, he may become fearful of you, and that is an unhealthy relationship between you and your puppy. The methods we’ll teach you here are much more effective and will not only teach your new pooch where to poo, but will also help build that bond of trust and loyalty with you. After all, isn’t that why you got your poodle puppy in the first place?
