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

YNP #096: Is Pet Insurance Worth It?

Listen Later

It can be counter intuitive but when your puppy has a potty accident, we shouldn’t punish them.

You may feel that you need to do something to let them know “this is wrong”.  

Or maybe you know that you’re not supposed to punish your puppy’s potty accidents but you’re not sure 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. 

In Episode #10: (Complete Guide to Potty Training Your Puppy), I talk about what to do when your puppy has an accident.  Punishment is never part of it.  

In this episode, I’m going to talk about why that is. 

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).
  • How puppies don’t know going potty inside is wrong (yet!).

    • Press play and enjoy!
