Your New Puppy: Dog Training and Dog Behavior Lessons to Help You Turn Your New Puppy into a Well-Behaved Dog

YNP #092: Why Not to Punish Puppy Potty Accidents

Listen Later

You may know that you’re not supposed to punish your puppy’s potty accidents but maybe you don’t know why.

In general, I discourage using punishment as a form of teaching your puppy anything but this question comes up a lot around potty training. 

Since, you know I never miss an opportunity to discuss the why behind training I’d like to take the opportunity to answer the questions “why are we not supposed to punish potty accidents?”

In this episode I talk about:
  • Why I get this question around potty training.
  • What I mean by “punishment”. 
  • What we are supposed to do with potty accidents.
  • Why dogs learn better when told what to do (instead of what not to do).
  • Puppies don’t know going potty inside is wrong.

    • Press play and enjoy!
