At what age do you start.....

[GypsyRose]

At what age do you start fussing/yelling/whatever for pottying where they aren't supposed to? My 12 week old Gypsy is obviously having accidents but i don't know if i need to start laying down the law or if it's too early and just clean it up and move on......

help. lol

The way I potty train my boy Milo at 4 months was simple I calculated the times that he went to the bathroom every hour when I thought he was going to the bathroom I would put him next to his wee-wee pad and stay there with him caged in until he went after about 20 minutes or 30 minutes after he goes I would give him a treat and praise him if you do that for two to three weeks maybe four weeks you'll be good to go and you always just tell him know know when you make sure that he knows what it's not what when he's making a mistake just remember he's a baby

At 12 weeks old, I would still expect accidents. Frenchies can be stubborn and it can take some awhile to "get it." The key is to be consistent. Puppies need to go out about 15 minutes or so after eating or drinking, after a nap and after play as well. Every time you take them out and they go potty, give lots of praise and treats.

I have done exactly that Cbrugs, Mikkel is almost fully trained. I simply put his leash om once an hr and after sleeping, playing, eating and drinking water. When he understood the comsept of the leash. I just started to walk outside in front of him calling for him to go pee or whatever. And Then LOTS of praise. Then he understood that peeing and poop is outside.

The breeder we got Buster from had started training the litter of 7 to use potty pads, so he already knew that was where he was supposed to go. We got him in winter so it was too cold for him to go outside, but as soon as it warmed up he followed his older brother outside thru the pet door to potty! He was about 4 months old then!

As all of the above! I took him out very often and praise, praise, praise! I never told him off for making a mistake in the house, just picked him up and popped him outside and encouraged him to go. It can definitely take a good amount of time but it's totally worth it.
