Young puppies aged three months and below do not yet have much bladder control and reflexes. It all gets interesting since the poor things usually know they need to go pee or potty only at the moment they really have to! It is the extreme and rare occasion that a puppy can will learn and actually tell its owner beforehand.

Fortunately, if owners want to, there are clear ways for them to know if a dog is about to go potty or pee. A puppy in search of a place to go potty will start making small circles around a certain spot while sniffing the ground. It's sniffing around for the odor that indicates a certain spot is good to potty on since it has been used before. If the puppy does not find that, it will go ahead and make a new poo spot! Be a proactive dog owner and prevent accidents in the house, helping your dog learn that the best bathroom is the one outside the home!

The best time to learning about house training your dog (which is what this article is all about) is prior to bringing your new puppy home for the first time. But if your puppy is already home, you can still implement the housetraining schedule at some appropriate time.

The first thing on your checklist is to prepare and arrange a dog crate or small, confined area (the smaller, the better). Given the choice on this one, go for the dog crate since it is more effective. The size of the crate matters a lot — if it is too big, the puppy will urinate and defecate at the far corner. A crate large enough for the dog to “grow into” can use some dividers to momentarily partition the space while the dog is small.

What needs to be inside the water dish? Put in a water dish (something not easy to spill is a dish that attaches to the side of the crate), sleeping pad and play stuff. The dog will appreciate it a mighty lot if the crate is placed in a spot where it gets to see the family. If you're using a confined area instead, use a baby gate instead of closing the door on your puppy.

Do your utmost to at least crate train your puppy, or that it is helped to see that the crate is its own zone of security and privacy. But it may happen that your puppy dislikes the crate a lot. Your dog will want to undermine your perseverance with the most heart-rending yowling and crying! If you're sure it isn't hungry or does not need to go potty, ignore the puppy. Sooner or later, the dog will settle down and rest or sleep.

But the big question is still of course, how does the crate help in housetraining your dog? Dogs are den animals, and in no way will they attempt to soil their den-crate. If they are really capable of “holding” it, they will, rather than going ahead and dirtying their private space.
