And we\u2019ll give you practical advice on how to set up your puppy\u2019s space and manage their routine, to help them be clean and dry at home as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#objectives\">What are your Labrador house training objectives?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#principles\">The principles of potty training a Labrador puppy.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#routines\">Labrador house training routines.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"objectives\">The Objectives of House Training a Labrador Retriever<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously we want our puppies to be clean in the house. We want them to learn to wait until they are outdoors before emptying their bladder or bowels. But this is not just about \u2018learning\u2019. It is about maturity too. We need to understand that tiny puppies have immature bodies and are not physically capable of waiting very long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On your side<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two factors on your side in the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/how-to-potty-train-a-puppy\/\"> potty training process<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Puppies have a strong desire to keep their \u2018nest\u2019 clean<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Puppies have a strong desire to wee in a place where they have done a wee before<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Working against you<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/15-puppy-potty-training-problems-solved\/\">three factors working against you<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The puppy\u2019s physical immaturity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The fact that the puppy has been removed from his nest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Puppies have a strong desire to wee in a place where they have done a wee before<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see that this last factor works both for and against you, in that it makes both weeing in the right place, and weeing in the wrong place, more likely to be repeated. When it comes to bladder control, fortunately your puppy improves with every day that passes, so this factor does not work against you forever. The same applies to the fact that the puppy has been removed from his nest,&nbsp; he will soon learn to accept his new nest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"principles\">The principles of puppy potty training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The puppy is learning the principle of extending the nest area, which he keeps clean instinctively,&nbsp; to include your entire home.&nbsp; Punishment is counter-productive in this process as it teaches the puppy to avoid emptying himself in your presence. Rewards are helpful, but given the right routine, a puppy will naturally learn to be clean without them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important practicalities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These practical strategies are crucial<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Starting small and increasing slowly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restricted access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confinement when the bladder is full<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It takes two &#8211; accompany your puppy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s have a closer look at these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start small and build up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This strategy applies to both \u2018waiting time\u2019 and access. &nbsp; The secret to successful house training lies in selecting targets that the puppy can achieve. &nbsp; If your puppy sometimes needs to wee every 15 minutes whilst he is awake and active,&nbsp; you will have to take him outside every 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Restricted access<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start small applies here too.&nbsp; Allow your puppy access only to a small part of your home. &nbsp; Increase the area he has access to, only when he is capable of keeping the current area clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Confinement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the puppy\u2019s bladder begins to fill, he will empty it.&nbsp; He will do this before he physically \u2018has to\u2019.&nbsp; Just because he can.&nbsp; And because the sensation of a filling bladder is a new one. Your job is to teach him to wait a little longer.&nbsp; You do this by confining him for a short time, every time his bladder fills. You can confine him in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/crate-training-your-labrador-puppy\/\"> his nest within a crate<\/a>,&nbsp; or in your arms.&nbsp; He will be reluctant to wee in either location.&nbsp; If he wets himself, you have waited too long!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It takes two<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to go outside with your puppy, and stay out there with him, each time he needs to wee. A tiny puppy is unlikely to empty himself on his own.&nbsp; This especially applies in cold or wet weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"routines\">Routines Matter When House Training a Labrador Retriever<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Based around these practical requirements you can create your own house training routine. For a puppy that needs to wee every half an hour, it will go something like this<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take puppy outside to the toilet area and wait with him until he empties himself<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring him indoors and allow him free access to your kitchen for fifteen to twenty minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crate or cuddle the puppy until it is thirty minute since his last wee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take the puppy back out to the toilet area<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If at any time the puppy does not empty himself then confine him for another ten minutes and try again. As soon as he is regularly not needing to wee after thirty minutes you can extend the duration of free access to your kitchen. Provided you stick to these principles and strategies, the house training process, though quite intense for a short while, will pass smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/A-Quick-Guide-to-House-Training-Your-Labrador-Puppy.jpg\" alt=\"A Quick Guide to House Training Your Labrador Puppy\" class=\"wp-image-29248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/A-Quick-Guide-to-House-Training-Your-Labrador-Puppy.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/A-Quick-Guide-to-House-Training-Your-Labrador-Puppy-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/A-Quick-Guide-to-House-Training-Your-Labrador-Puppy-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/A-Quick-Guide-to-House-Training-Your-Labrador-Puppy-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/A-Quick-Guide-to-House-Training-Your-Labrador-Puppy-696x1044.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/A-Quick-Guide-to-House-Training-Your-Labrador-Puppy-280x420.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about using and <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/5XM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">choosing crates<\/a><span class=\"affiliate-link-text\" style=\"color:#757575;\">(paid link)<\/span>, dealing with &#8216;accidents&#8217;, and about helping your puppy to wee in the right place, every time, check out the articles below<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/how-to-potty-train-a-puppy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">House training your Labrador puppy<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a title=\"When a puppy won't wee outdoors\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/labrador-house-training-problems-puppy-wont-wee-outdoors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What to do when your puppy won&#8217;t wee outside<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a title=\"crate training\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/?p=1144\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Crate training your Labrador<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t blame yourself if you are finding this difficult. &nbsp; Small puppies are hard work, and you don&#8217;t need to do this alone. &nbsp;Join in our <a title=\"Labrador forum\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/forums\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Labrador Forum<\/a> for help and support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to learn how to potty train your puppy fast?
