Ask A Puppy Trainer Show

Even though puppies are supposed to sleep 16-20 hours a day, some pups can seem to have endless amounts of boundless energy, making it difficult for them to settle and relax — when they SHOULD be tired!

“Excite” pee, “happy” pee, “affection” pee — these are all versions of submissive pee. It can be somewhat endearing when they’re young — they’re just so happy to see you that they can’t contain themselves!

But this “cute” puppy trait can quickly turn into a major messy habit and get worse as they get older, if it’s not addressed correctly and consistently early on.

We talk about puppies going in and out of crate throughout the day to help with potty training and much needed rest. But when your puppy is out of the crate, how long should they be out for? Is there too much out of crate time? And what should they be doing when they are out?

Barking, whining, ringing a bell, scratching at the back door — shouldn’t your puppy be able to tell you when they need to potty?

That would be wonderful for many of us, but the truth is most pups do not give a natural cue to alert you that they need to go.

As they grow you may start to pick up on their “signs”, or even begin to teach them a signal for you BUT there’s other things we would recommend first to get control of those potty accidents at home and get them potty trained quick!
