Make a time-table

Work out a schedule for you and the puppy. Housetraining is much easier when the puppy’s meals, exercise and playtimes are on a regular schedule throughout the day.

You must take time to decide where to put the dog crate. It should be kept in a convenient place; for you as well as the puppy. Many puppies don’t like to be isolated in one part of the house while their family is in another but some puppies dislike too much noise and might be agitated if there’s too much activity going on around them. You might have to experiment with different locations until you learn what works best for both you and the puppy.
