Litter Training Puppies
Birth to 8 Weeks Old
This is how we litter train our puppies to help reduce the mess they make when their mother stops cleaning up after them. This is definitely not the only way to do it, but it's what has worked for us in the past. If this post can help anyone with a litter of puppies, it's done its job!
Good luck!

Birth - 2.5 weeks old
4x4 box with pig rails
(click here to see where you can buy these 4x4 boxes) heat lamp in one corner layers: foam pad - tarp - incontinence pads - comforter |
2.5 Weeks until they can escape the box
half of the bed is pee pads with a few alfalfa pellets and then fake grass on top
during the first few days, we are constantly picking the puppies up and moving them to the grass after waking and feeding. The grass gives them a texture to seek out and the alfalfa pellets provide a scent to seek out during this time, they were about 50% accurate with their potty area layers: foam pad, tarp, incontinence pads and comforter |
