Create predictable toilet opportunities
Take the puppy out or to the chosen toilet area after waking, eating, drinking, playing and naps, and at regular intervals appropriate for the puppy’s age.
Watch for signals
Sniffing, circling, wandering away or suddenly stopping play can be useful signals. Supervision prevents many accidents.
Reward the right behaviour
Quietly praise and reward immediately after the puppy toilets in the correct place. Timing helps the puppy connect the behaviour with the reward.
Handle accidents calmly
Clean thoroughly so lingering odour does not keep attracting the puppy to the same spot. Avoid punishment after the fact.
When to get help
If accidents remain frequent despite a consistent routine, or if there are signs of illness, speak with a veterinarian. For broader behaviour and training support, an assessment can help identify what is getting in the way.
