Your job as an owner is to train your puppies to empty their bladder in a place intended. This is where the papering method comes in. This is essentially placing sheets of paper around the room for your puppy to do its business. As the days go by, take note of where it frequently goes to empty its bladder, then slowly take away the sheets of paper except for the location where it frequents, do this until only a sheet remains. After that, slowly move the sheet inch by inch until it recognizes that the sheet of paper is where it needs to go if it wants to “go potty”. If an incident occurs, just be patient and repeat the process. Remember, patience is a must for any dog owner.

If your puppy has passed potty training, you’d want to let your pet puppy explore your house for a while so it could familiarize itself with your house. But just be sure to keep a leash handy, least you find it urinating on your favorite pair of shoes.

Then take away the other sheets except for that one place. Take the time each day to slowly take away the papers until only one remains. This is so that it understands that the sheet of paper is its toilet.
