The most important part of potty training your Pitbull puppy is understanding what works best for them when it comes to teaching any desired behaviors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since you\u2019ll want to promote your ideal potty behaviors within your home, you\u2019ll have to make sure that your Pitbull puppy feels comfortable and engaged throughout the training process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to accomplish any type of training, your Pitbull pup needs positive reinforcement<\/em><\/strong> style training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A positive and encouraging training method is the best way to housebreak your Pitbull puppy. They do not respond well to fear tactics or punishments, so it\u2019s important to leave these methods out of your potty training routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best way to help your puppy reach success is by rewarding them for correct behavior<\/strong> and making sure they enjoy the training process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you understand how important a positive training method is for your Pitbull puppy\u2019s success, let\u2019s discuss the step by step process of potty training your new furry friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to help your Pitbull puppy establish a routine, you\u2019ll need to select a designated potty spot in your yard<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By establishing a certain spot to take your puppy each time they go outside, they will soon begin to understand that this is the only spot they should be relieving themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can do this by putting your puppy on a leash and directing them to your \u201cpotty zone\u201d each time you go outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When your Pitbull pup does their business in the correct zone, be sure to immediately reward them<\/strong> with praise or a tasty puppy treat<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By associating a positive response with the action of using the bathroom in this set area, your pup is more likely to repeat this going forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Continue to walk your bully pup to your potty spot until they learn to walk to this zone without any of your direction. Once they\u2019ve mastered this step you can remove their leash and let them walk to the potty zone on their own!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nStep 1: Designate A Potty Spot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
