Puppy Training: House Training and a Good Start in Life for Pups

Puppy Training: Well Prepared for the First Weeks

The first weeks with a puppy are exciting and shape everything that follows. Now your dog learns where its place is, where it is allowed to go to the toilet and how life together works. Here you'll find everything for house training: a puppy toilet with a folding frame, training pads, a washable pee mat and urine removers. There is also a puppy pen, an outdoor run and a training waist belt.

House Training with Patience

At first, puppies can only control their bladder for a short time. So take your puppy outside straight after sleeping, eating and playing, and praise it lavishly when it goes there. Training pads and the puppy toilet help during the transition or in a flat without quick access to the outdoors. If an accident happens, don't scold your puppy but clean the spot thoroughly with a urine remover. That way no smell is left behind to tempt it to mark the same place again.

A Safe Space to Learn

A puppy pen gives your dog a protected area where it can play and rest while you are not sitting right next to it. It keeps your puppy away from cables and other hazards and protects your furniture too. Outdoors, a run offers room to romp in the garden. With the training waist belt, treats are always to hand so you can reward good behaviour instantly. Short exercises with plenty of praise suit a young dog's attention span best.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to house train a puppy?
That varies a lot. Many puppies are largely house trained at four to six months, while some need a little longer. Regular trips outside, patience and lots of praise matter more than the exact age.

Should I use training pads or go straight outside?
If you can get outside quickly, it is easiest to practise there right from the start. Pads are useful at night, in flats on higher floors or when your puppy is not yet allowed outside. Later, you move the toilet spot outdoors step by step.

Why does the spot still smell of urine after cleaning?
Ordinary cleaners often remove only the visible stain, not all the odour molecules. Your puppy's fine nose can still smell them and keeps returning to the spot. A special urine remover breaks these substances down.
