From Karen Pryor’s Puppy Love (available at http://www.clickertraining.com/store), Carolyn Clark gives you an overview and some tips on potty training your puppy. To learn how to teach your puppy to ring a bell when it needs to go potty, check out How to Teach ‘Ring the Bell’ for Potty Time by Virginia Broitman and Sherri Lippman. From the ClickFlicks Learning Center. http://www.clickertraining.tv
“Clicker training” is the popular term for the training or teaching method based on what we know about how living organisms learn.
Research has shown that any creature—whether a dog, cat, dolphin, parrot, fish, horse, llama, or person—is more likely to learn and repeat actions that result in consequences it desires and enjoys. So clicker trainers provide consequences desired by their animal in exchange for actions or behaviors desired by their trainers.
We call these consequences “rewards” and the process is called “reinforcement.” Clicker training, therefore, is a positive-reinforcement-based system of training.
First widely used by dolphin trainers who needed a way to teach behavior without using physical force, operant conditioning (the scientific term for clicker training) can be and has been successfully employed with animals of all sizes and species, both domesticated and wild, young and old; all breeds of dogs and puppies, cats, birds, leopards, rats, rabbits, chinchillas, fish, and more.
Clicker trainers who learn the underlying principles have at their disposal a powerful set of tools that enable them to analyze behaviors, modify existing methods for individual animals, and create new methods where none previously existed. This flexibility allows the tools of clicker training to be re-invented in new forms that work in a range of situations, and for an infinite variety of animals.
The same principles have also been applied to training for athletes, dancers, skaters, and other people. Called “TAGteach,” this form of training uses a click as a marker signal to teach precise physical motions quickly, accurately, and positively.

At around three weeks old, your puppy is readily able to adapt to new situations and because they are one of the smartest creatures by nature, Potty Training Puppies will not be too difficult for anyone.
As a new owner, you have a choice whether you want to confine your puppy or not. Crating is what most puppy parents prefer for accident prevention at night or when they have to leave their precious ones for a period of time. However, some would want to train their puppies to become more responsible by giving them access to everything but with restrictions and limitations. This may sound a little harder than the other considering their playful behavior and uncontrollable urges, but if you choose to apply this, here are the tips you may consider:
You may actually teach your puppy to eliminate outdoor or indoor on papers. Nevertheless, whichever method you choose, you have to be very consistent. You may also apply paper training for a short time or until your puppy is learning to go potty to the acceptable areas outside or inside the house, but you must teach him/her step-by-step until he finally masters his potty routines.
Whether outdoor or indoor, you have to designate a spot for his potty time. Let him sniff that spot and wait until he finally relieved himself and take him to the same place each time. The scent that remained will help stimulate him/her to use the spot again the next time he needs to eliminate.
For young puppies, take them out with a leash or carry them to the designated spot within 20 minutes or immediately after each meal, after play sessions, and after rest sessions. Scheduling is the key to an effective puppy house training so again, you have to be consistent. Use the same schedule everyday but also watch for the indications that your puppy needs to go.
During every potty break, give your puppy a command such as “go pee”, “go potty”, or “do it” to build an association between the command phrase and his potty break. Repeat it quietly as many times necessary until your puppy gets familiar with it. This way, it will be easy for him to understand and follow the same command the next time it is given.
When potty training puppies, you can expect that there would always be mistakes and accidents. Puppies are like babies; they can hardly tell whether they need to go or not. So you better watch out for the warning signs like sniffing or squatting then immediately distract them by stamping your foot or clapping your hands while leading them away from the restricted zone.
Finally, praise your puppy with an encouraging words like “good puppy” or “good job” when he performs in the right spot. Let him know you are delighted by giving small rewards or privileges like allowing him to play inside your room. As soon as he becomes more dependable and responsible, you can allow him to move freely inside the house.
