Housetraining is a lot of work. Let me say that one more time - housetraining is a lot of work.😊

Here are a couple of tips to help make it easier:

Schedule = Stability = Saving your Sanity
When your puppy wakes up in the morning and after nap times take them outside. After they finish eating take them outside. You can make it easier on yourself by feeding your puppy at regular intervals. This gets them accustomed to putting their bodily functions on a set schedule too. If they are crate trained, take them outside as soon as you let them out. And just like with children, it's ok to withhold water several hours before bedtime to help reduce overnight accidents.

I know it's frustrating to find an accident but try not to punish a puppy after the fact. Try redirecting with a firm "No!" while taking them outside to finish. Punishment may create distrust early in the relationship.

Learn your puppy's signal for needing to go out. We received Rory and Rosie after they were housetrained but we still had to figure out their routine. Which in some ways might have been even harder since they were used to a different household. But now I know if Rory paces by the door, I need to let her out. Rosie who loves her humans will "disappear", so if she is off by herself she may be concentrating on holding it in.

Always praise a job well done. Don't be afraid to give ear rubs and treats for "going" outside. Reward good behavior right there on the spot to reinforce positive outcomes. Even if the intention was there, let them know they did a good job, we don't always make it ourselves, lol. Most importantly give it TIME and plenty of opportunities to practice, it's fundamental to training!

I share this video all the time! I think it's through and the real deal on caring for a French Bulldog.

Are Frenchies high maintenance? Aren't we all 😂 but are they awesome companion dogs? ABSOLUTELY. And once you have owned one you know their quirky personalities are the best.

I highly encourage families to research a dog breed before purchasing. Puppies are adorable but they are work.
