Housebreak tip - Establish a “potty zone” outdoors

Establish a “potty zone” outdoors as soon as your new puppy arrives. This can be any corner of your yard where you would like your puppy to use the bathroom. By using only a section of your yard, you reinforce your intent that your puppy goes potty when she is in this spot. Set her down and tell her to “go potty.” At first, the words may mean little to her, but praise your puppy when she uses the bathroom in her potty zone.
