Info You Need For Potty Training A Puppy
THIS IS AWESOME!
My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog.
Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches.

If this is your first time potty training a puppy, then you need to remember that things are going to get a bit messy in the near future. To keep your home from becoming like a war zone full of "acid pools" and "landmines," you need to get a stock of these basic things to help you survive the training process:
Odor And Stain Removers
These are some of the first items you need to get while doing the potty training process. Thefact of the matter is, it is inevitable that your puppy will have an accident in and about your home, and it will remember the location unless you quickly scrub away the spots and stains. It is particularly important to get rid of the scent as well, so make sure the cleaner you use can also get rid of smells.
Un-needed newspapers
There are three purposes these can serve. First of all, they can help you gather up feces and/or soak up the urine. Two, they can serve as the bedding of your dog. Thirdly, these will serve as fillers for your dog potty during the potty training process and afterwards. Just make sure not to mix two and three together. Even if the paper slept upon is clean, a dog will be reluctant to excrete on whatever it slept on.
Pretreated potty training pads
If you really want to make the potty training process easier, you can buy these chemically treated pads from your local dog store. The chemicals encourage your puppy or dog to do its business if it sniffs it, and it can also help eliminate the odour of feces and urine. Expect to spend much more money on it than old newspapers, though.
Crate or cage
If you are potty training a puppy, then you need to keep a crate or cage that matches the puppy's size and gives it a little room to move around in. As mentioned before, dogs do not like to excrete on their sleeping area. Keeping your puppy or dog in a crate or cage as you sleep or leave the house makes them hold in it and disciplines them and allows you to pay attention to other matters like sleep and work.
Vigilance And Patience
Even if you have got a cage or crate that you can use, you will still need a lot of time and attention to make sure the potty training process is successful. All the inventions in the world will not help unless a human hand is there to guide the puppy through one of its first lessons in life.
Keep all of these in stock while potty training a puppy and you will be able to quickly and effectively get the job done within a matter of days!
