Feeding schedule

A feeding schedule is important when it comes to potty training. Making sure that you stick to a feeding schedule so that you can know the time when the puppy will use the potty. The feeding schedule should be very consistent. You can divide the meals into three small portions and stick to it. A good diet is also important because some foods are likely to irritate the stomach of your puppy and disrupt the potty training.
