The first few weeks of puppy ownership are amazing.
You will be besotted with how cute and affectionate they are, and may ignore all the down sides.
It won't be long, though, before you start seeing how your puppies are going to the toilet all over your house.
This is a common issue when you have puppies and we will tell you some methods for dealing with this problem.
Young puppies need a lot of attention and you cannot expect overnight miracles.
Looking after an entire litter of puppies is going to be a stressful and challenging experience, without a doubt.
To try and lessen the damage to your house, and at least make sure it doesn't stink, you need to stay on top of the situation and be aware of what needs doing.
As long as your house is big enough, you could give them their own room.
The last thing you need is them running loose throughout your entire house, as they will bite everything they can.
The best thing is to isolate them in on spot so you can manage them.
Don't forget that with little puppies, they are going to pass everything through within minutes.
Once they have eaten or drunk, you should move them through to where you want them to do their business.
It won't be long before they are going to the toilet and we all know puppies don't mind the spot.
At least there are no mysteries when it comes to this, it is an obvious part of the puppies system.
Make sure you control when and where they are feed so you can control the flow at the other end.
You will find this exhausting, though the good thing is that as soon as one of them licks you on the face you will forgive them.
You may even want to hold onto them forever as they are so cute.
