House training a puppy in 7 days is not difficult to do and is often thought to be impossible to do. While it may be tricky at first, it is certainly doable and with a little practice your pup will be tamed in 7 days or less. It usually takes about a day or two for your puppy to really start to understand what house training is all about, but it largely depends on the breed of the dog and how old he is.

House training doesn’t have to take months to accomplish, so let’s look at some things you can do to effectively train your puppy in 7 days.

One of the most important things is to set a schedule for your puppy to follow. This can be as simple as taking him outside to the bathroom after every meal and feeding him at the same time every day so he gets used to the fact that he has to go to the bathroom at a certain time. Young puppies often don’t know they have to go to the bathroom until it’s too late, so if you can get them outside before they do, you have a much better chance of avoiding an accident on your carpet.

Give your puppy a treat and say something positive like “good boy!” right after you finish going to the bathroom will also help you learn to go to the bathroom faster. It works well and should not be overlooked when training your pup. Puppies want to please you and they also love food, so if you can show him that he is pleasing you and feed him; he will understand you much better.

Of course, there will be times when your puppy just won’t be able to get out on time. This is normal and part of raising a puppy, so don’t panic when it happens. Yelling at you or your puppy will be of no use to you and may even make things worse and confuse your puppy. The best thing to do when this happens is to just let it go and clean the stain with a good pet sanitizer. You don’t want your puppy to be able to smell the floor where he went and think it’s okay to go there.

It is possible to house train a puppy in 7 days, but you will still need to constantly monitor your puppy to make sure he doesn’t have any accidents. After that, you shouldn’t have to worry about your puppy going to the bathroom at home again.
