Begin by putting your dog in the crate for a few minutes at a time and gradually increase the amount of time. When your dog is comfortable in the crate, you can start using it for potty training. When you first start using the crate for potty training, put your dog in it for a very short time after he has had a potty break. As he gets better at holding his bladder and bowels, you can gradually increase the amount of time he spends in the crate.
If your dog has an accident in the crate, don’t get mad. Just clean it up and put your dog back in the crate. He will learn quickly that he can’t have accidents in the crate and will start to hold it until he can go outside.
Crate training can be a bit of a challenge, but it is well worth the effort. Your dog will be happier and better trained when you finish.

Now that your little one is growing up and becoming more mobile, it’s time to start potty training! Dogs can be potty trained at any age, but it’s easiest to start when they’re young. Here’s how to get started:
1. Choose a potty spot. Pick an area outside where your dog can relieve himself, such as on a patch of grass. If you live in an apartment, you can also use an indoor potty spot, such as a pee pad or a patch of artificial turf.
2. Puppy-proof the potty spot. Make sure the area is free of hazards, such as electrical cords, poisonous plants, and rabbit holes.
3. Establish a routine. Take your dog outside to the potty spot every hour, on the hour. If he doesn’t go, bring him back inside and put him in his crate or designated potty area until the next hour.
4. Reward your dog when he goes potty in the right spot. Give him a treat or pet him lovingly.
5. Be patient. It may take a while for your dog to get the hang of things. Be consistent with your routine and rewards, and don’t get discouraged if your dog has an accident or two.

How To Potty Train A 2 Year Old Male Dog
When potty training a 2 year old male dog, it is important to keep in mind that dogs of this age are past the puppy stage but are not yet adults. At this age, your dog is still learning and will need patience and consistency from you.
There are a few basic things you can do to help make the process go more smoothly:
1. Establish a routine. Like with most things in life, establishing a routine when potty training a 2 year old male dog will help make things easier for both of you. Try to take your dog outside to pee or poop at the same times every day.
2. Be consistent. This goes hand in hand with establishing a routine. If you expect your dog to pee outside every time he needs to go, you need to be consistent about taking him outside. If you let him go inside sometimes and outside other times, he will only get confused and the process will take longer.
3. Reward him for peeing and pooping outside. When your dog does something good, it is important to reward him. This applies to potty training a 2 year old male dog just as it does to puppies. Praise him and give him a treat when he goes outside to pee or poop.
4. Be patient. As with any new skill, potty training a 2 year old male dog will take some time and patience. Don’t get discouraged if he doesn’t get it right the first time. Just keep practicing and be consistent.
With a little patience and perseverance, you can successfully potty train your 2 year old male dog.
Why Do Dogs Have Accidents After Being Potty Trained
Many people believe that once a dog is potty trained, they will never have another accident in the house. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. There are a few reasons why a dog might have an accident after being potty trained.
One reason could be that the dog is not completely housebroken. Even if a dog has been successfully potty trained, there may be the occasional accident if they are not completely housetrained. This is especially common in puppies, who may not be completely housebroken until they are six to twelve months old.
Another reason could be that the dog is not getting enough exercise. Dogs who do not get enough exercise are more likely to have accidents in the house, especially if they are confined to a small area for a long period of time. Dogs need at least one hour of exercise per day.
A third reason could be that the dog is sick or has a medical condition that is causing them to have accidents in the house. If a dog is having accidents in the house and you have ruled out the other two reasons, it is a good idea to take them to the veterinarian to rule out any medical conditions.
