The holiday season is full of excitement, joy, and, let's be honest, a little chaos. Between the decorations, the gifts, and the family gatherings, there's so much going on. But for many new puppy owners, the holidays can also bring the added challenge of house training your furry friend. Whether you’ve just welcomed a cute puppy into your home or are preparing to, Christmas in Puyallup could be the perfect time to start your puppy’s journey to becoming the well-behaved dog you’ve always wanted.
At Got Sit Dog Training, we understand how stressful it can be to train a new puppy, especially during a busy season like Christmas. That's why our House Training for Puppies program is designed to make the process as smooth, fun, and effective as possible. Let us help you set your puppy up for success—so you can focus on enjoying the holidays, rather than worrying about accidents around the house!
You might be thinking, “Why should I start house training my puppy during the holiday madness?” The answer is simple: structure and consistency are key. Puppies thrive on routine, and with a little extra time at home during the holidays, you’ll be able to dedicate yourself to creating a solid foundation for your puppy's potty training. Plus, puppies are like little sponges, and the earlier you start, the quicker they can learn to associate specific behaviors with positive outcomes.
At Got Sit Dog Training, we provide customized training that works in real-life situations, even during the holiday hustle. The goal is not only to get your puppy to stop peeing on the carpet but to ensure they understand where and when they are allowed to go. This requires patience, consistency, and the right techniques—skills we help you master in our program.
Unlike traditional training methods that focus only on rigid commands or static environments, Got Sit Dog Training is all about teaching your puppy how to behave in the real world. We use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior, making sure your puppy has a positive, enjoyable experience every time they go potty outside.
The key to house training success is consistency. Our expert trainers, including Marvin and Corey Versteeg, along with our team of skilled trainers like Hunter & Lokai and Alicia & Kevin, will guide you every step of the way, making sure your puppy learns how to be house-trained while still having a blast.
We believe in preparing you and your dog for real-life distractions, whether that’s family members, the hustle of holiday shopping, or even unexpected visitors. This method ensures that your puppy learns quickly, with results that last beyond just the holiday season.
Create a Potty SchedulePuppies need structure, and one of the best ways to train your puppy is by sticking to a potty schedule. Taking your puppy outside regularly helps them understand when it’s time to relieve themselves. Aim for every 2-3 hours for younger puppies, plus a visit right after eating, waking up, and playing. This will help your puppy develop the habits they need.
Use Positive ReinforcementWhen your puppy goes potty outside, reward them with a treat and a lot of praise! Positive reinforcement is the most effective way to teach your puppy good habits. Our training method emphasizes creating a positive connection between the action (going potty outside) and the reward (praise and treats). This makes them want to repeat the behavior.
Keep Calm, Even with AccidentsAccidents are bound to happen, especially with young puppies, so it’s important to stay calm. Our Got Sit Dog Training team will teach you how to handle accidents effectively without stressing out, making sure your puppy doesn’t feel punished or anxious. Instead, you’ll learn how to redirect their behavior and encourage better habits.
At Got Sit, we believe there are no “bad dogs,” just poor communication. Our founder Marvin Versteeg developed a training method that focuses on real-life situations. Instead of just teaching puppies how to follow commands, we prepare both you and your dog for everyday distractions, ensuring that your puppy’s training is practical and reliable. And with the holidays just around the corner, there’s no better time to start.
Our team is made up of experienced trainers who know exactly how to train puppies in a way that’s fun, engaging, and effective. Whether you’re in Puyallup, Seattle, or anywhere across the greater Eastside, we’re here to help. Plus, if you’re in the Snohomish County or Pierce County area, we offer dog training in many local areas like Bothell, Lake Stevens, Redmond, and Renton, just to name a few!
