[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1- Use the real grass for potty.

2- We used treats when potty training for the first few weeks and lots of excited praise. Most important for potty training is crate training.

My advice is be consistent (especially all members of the household doing the same exact thing and using the same command words, etc. so the puppy doesn't get confused) and have LOTS of patience.

Something that a lot of people don't realize is that you WILL get the puppy blues at some point. Puppies are super cute but super annoying - the nipping/biting and accidents inside can get so frustrating. Just remember that this phase will pass and an amazing companion is on the other side :) [/quote]

The fake grass thing sounds gross- I’d just encourage puppy to use the real grass areas.  They tend to go in the same place each time.

I see no problems with treats..however, we just used a clicker and kibble. Our puppy has a touchy stomach and most  treats seem to give her the runs. [/quote]
