• Using the crate or selecting a specific area for the pup to defecate is the right way to start training. Some choose a crate as they are easier to clean, and can be carried and kept in any corner of the house. If the pup is confined to the crate for a long time, and not let loose even once in a day, its behavior might turn aggressive, and it might start avoiding getting into the crate the next time. Pups usually begin to sniff or go around when they want to do their business. The owner must understand these signs and place the pup in the poop area. During your busy day, it is not possible to observe these signs and escort the pup when it wants to relieve itself. Therefore, confine it to an enclosure till the time you are out of the house. Once you are back, it is important to let the pup loose, and praise and pat your puppy. Working out all day can limit your time that you spend with your pup. Hence, try to be around the pup when you come back home.
• Before you leave the house for work, take your pup for a walk, and when you return after you feed him, take him out again.
• There are puppy training pads that have the odor that makes the pup defecate on the pad. With these pads, you can start an early training for your pup.
• In case you have a big house or have a balcony, set up doggy doors to separate the defecating place for your pup. When the pup wants to do its business, lead him to the place and keep the door closed till it is finished. This will train your pup to automatically go the appropriate place and defecate even in your absence.
• If your pup happen to suffer from poop accidents, do not be angry and shout at it, as the pup takes time to gain control over its bowel and bladder. Continue to take it to the desired place, in times of accidents. Gradually, the pup will understand what its master expects from him.
