What Type of Mattress Do You Need?

The retailers and the manufactures of mattresses have different brands of mattresses. The basic one is Tempur-Pedic, firm vs. plush, and sleep number beds. Tempur-Pedic is described as memory foam because they shape and offer support to your body as you sleep. Essentially, you sink, and the mattress exerts pressure to all parts of your body.

Tips + Tricks: How To House Train A Puppy Fast

12.20.2017 by mumwrites // Leave a Comment

From the moment your eyes light up when you’re surprised with a puppy until it’s grown you’ll have fond memories.

But your memories can be clouded if your puppy isn’t house trained properly. I once walked into a room where my puppy had spent a few hours alone, and it was a mess!

So we learn from our faults and house train our puppies, right? Trust me, you wouldn’t want to be stuck in a cycle of constantly cleaning up your puppy’s messes.

And some dog owners still do so after years of failed house training. Eeek!

Keep Your Eyes Peeled

It’s best to keep your puppy with you always. There are actions that will tell you he needs to potty. He can turn in circles or sniff & scratch the floor.

You must stop what you’re doing and rush him to a designated potty spot in the yard. Your puppy will get used to the grass on his paws and only want that feeling when he needs to go.

Form these habits and you can slowly build up assurance that your puppy won’t mess inside.

Clean Up Accidents Instantly and Thoroughly

There have been times where I thought my puppy was being good and wouldn’t “go” inside. This confidence was shattered when one room had plenty of messes.

My puppy had created an indoor designated area to potty!

There is a good chance the same will happen to you. Before you reprimand your puppy, you must clean up the messes immediately and remove any stains & smells. Smells tell your puppy that it’s ok to potty inside—which it’s not.

Remember to take him outside. Your puppy must still believe it’s okay to go potty, just not in the house.

Set Up an Eating Schedule

These schedules in come handy because you can time when to take your puppy outside. When your puppy finishes his meal & water, take him outside 15-20 minutes later.

You can also associate the action with a command. Every time you take him outside you can say “hurry up” or “go potty”. If you’re persistent with this, when your puppy is older you can just yell out the command and it’ll go outside without your help.

Reward Your Puppy

You love incentives for good work, and so does your puppy. Give him a treat or rub his head when he does his business outside. These rewards make your puppy happy and he will do things to get more.

Your puppy will even wait to go outside just to receive the rewards you provide. [Read more…]
