Take your puppy out first thing in the morning for a toilet break and encourage them to poo and wee outside. It can help to have your puppy on a lead at first to avoid any chance of them running around exploring and not focusing on the fact that a toilet break is due. It’s also helpful to use a word that your puppy can associate with going to the loo, like ‘hurry up’ or ‘toilet’. Take your puppy out every 2-3 hours during the day. Give your puppy a toilet break shortly after each meal, as they’ll need a poo not long after eating. It’s a good idea to take them outside when they’ve just woken up, too. Puppy play can also make them need the loo, especially if they get really excited. Take them outside straight afterwards or give them a break halfway through a play session.
