Using puppy pad training isn’t the best choice in every situation. It is easier to house train your puppy to relieve itself outdoors, but if the puppy does not have access to a garden and you cannot take your puppy outdoors frequently then using pads can be the answer.

Using puppy pads is easier than trying to clean stains on carpets or floors. So if you have decided to use puppy pad training then here are a couple of useful tips.

• Always keep the pads in the same place.
• If you can see signs that your puppy needs to go then pick it up and take it to the training pad.
• Take your puppy to the training pad especially after it eats or drinks.
• At first accidents will happen, do not be rough with your puppy, simply say No! and take your puppy to the training pad.
• Praise your puppy when it goes on the pad and give it treats.

Overall, training your puppy to use the training pads will take time and patience so be prepared! Have a puppy stain and odour remover nearby and remember to always praise and reward your puppy for going in the right place.
