How to Potty Train Your Puppy

How to Potty Train Your Puppy

You have just gotten a sweet, adorable puppy and the fun begins!
I must add, if you live somewhere, where it is currently very cold outside and perhaps snowing, or too cold to snow. You will want to put off potty training your puppy until the weather gets a bit warmer. Usually puppies go to their new homes at about 8 to 12 weeks, and freezing temperatures are not good for little puppies.

With that being said, now we can get into how to potty train your puppy.
Place newspaper by your back door, so your puppy associates going potty with going by the back door.

To potty train a puppy you must be consistent. Potty training a puppy is much like potty training a child, being totally consistent the first week will pay off and often your puppy will be potty trained by the end of the first week.

Soon after your puppy eats, take them outside to potty. Stay outside with them, and wait until you see they have gone potty. Praise your puppy and bring him in. If you have another dog, potty training is a bit easier. Puppies love to watch and see what the big dog is doing!

The first few days take your puppy out to potty often.

Make sure you let the puppy out potty right before you go to bed and first thing in the morning.

If you catch your puppy going potty in the house, firmly say "NO" (do not spank your puppy, you should NEVER have to put your hands on him or her) and bring him outside to go potty.

Being consistent again is the key to successfully potty training your puppy! Put the time in the first week, dedicate yourself to just potty training 100% and your life will be easier!

Taking Pictures of your Puppies

Taking Pictures of your puppies!

Taking Pictures of your Puppies

Taking good pictures of your puppies may seem impossible. They are so happy and full of energy they barely sit still. I guess if you want quick perfect pictures of your puppies you can snap them when they are sleeping, but how much cuter when they are awake.

Jordin's English Bulldog litter was 7 puppies and I can not tell you how much time I spent taking pictures. Getting the perfect picture takes time, but it is well worth it. Not only do you have amazing picture to keep of your puppies, but it gives the new possible owner a real good idea of how cute the puppy really is. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Be patient, have good lighting and start snapping pictures. If you have tried and tried and can not get a good picture of one of the stinkers, have a family member hold the puppy up against your chest with their head peeking over their shoulder. The puppy tends to be more still and you can more easily snap a great picture.

Taking GOOD pictures of your puppies is a must, but you can take things a step further and take a video. Create a blog to display your puppies pictures, sell your puppies and display all the information the new owner may need to know.

I, the new owner, understand:

The puppy has had his or her first shots, and I will call my vet when I get home to set up the next round of shots due. Please understand shots and getting them ontime is the utmost importance.

I understand my puppy is on Puppy chow and feeding the puppy and making sure he or she has plenty of water was explained to me. It is best not to switch puppy food, it may upset the puppies stomach. If you decide to do so at any point, introduce the new food gradually.

Any accidents, problems, conditions, illnesses, medical conditions or anything at all that may arise once leaving the premisis is completely my (new owner's) responsibility.

How to Sell your Puppies

How to Sell your Puppies

Puppies have had their first shots and perfect health checks and it is time to sell your puppies. Let me share some very effective ways to do that.

To sell our puppies, I start by making a small free website. It is nothing fancy, but I am able to add all the details and pictures of the puppies and Mom and Dad. I even went a step further and created a few videos for free at Flixya, (or YouTube) and added the link to my website. Update: I now just simply create a blog post here at Blogger filled with pictures, information and fees. Click here to view how I promote and sell our puppies! I had all my 7 English Bulldog Puppies sold in two weeks, and in this economy, that isn't too bad. You can create your website at Cabanova. They offer an upgraded website, but I just chose the free one. It really helps sell your puppies. Prior to anyone even coming out to see them, they already can see each puppy and the markings. Usually if they do come out to see the puppies, they are ready to buy one and have a puppy picked out! I went another step further and updated my site every time I sold a puppy.

First, if your puppies are AKC registered, they have a classified as section there. To run your ad is very cheap and well worth it.

How to Sell your Puppies, do not forget about advertising in newspapers!

Place and ad in your local LARGEST newspaper. Make sure to add your website address both here and at AKC.

How to Sell your Puppies, pricing is SO important!

Price your puppies right. If you are over priced, people will be calling another ad, trust me. Research and see what other puppies of the same breed are going for in your newspaper, prior to placing your ad. Do not be afraid to lower the price if you are not getting calls.

Lastly, to sell your puppies you must be picky about where your puppies go. In my website I make it very clear that all of my dogs and puppies were raised with nothing but love and kisses. They are never locked up in crates and we treat our dogs as family, not pets. I further state "If you work full timeand will not be home all day, our puppies are not for you. If you have very small children that may be to rough with a puppy, our puppies are not for you."

In fact, we had a man come by himself, and his phone calls should have raised a red flag to me. It was not until he came out to buy one of our English Bulldogs, that I realized I would not sell him one of our puppies. He was slightly rude, well a bit more than slightly, he was not loving or nice with the puppies and my husband at work, I had to tell this man "No, are puppies are not for you." Which led to an argument, BUT I will tell you how much better I felt when he left and knowing "where the puppies go is my UTMOST important responsibility!! If you know me, you will know I cry after every puppy leaves, I love each one so much, I could not live with myself not thinking each puppy is going to an amazing home. Be strict about who you sell your puppies to.

Make a receipt! In my next posting here I will show you how to make a good receipt for the sale of your puppies.
