Well, sorry to say it's just not that simple with Frenchies as they can be stubborn, bullheaded little guys. Potty training a Frenchie can be a very challenging. But have NO fear as we are here to help make things a little bit easier. Wait? Did I day easy!? Okay, not so easy but I think I have some tips that may help with the daunting task. Are you scared yet? Don't be ;-)
1. Crate train your dog. While you are potty training, if you are not able to directly supervise your Frenchie they should be in the crate. In general dogs do not like to relive themselves where they sleep, so make sure that the crate has just enough space for them to lie down.
2. Routine is very important. As soon as you wake up in the morning take your Frenchie directly outside to an area in your yard you would like to use as the "potty". I recommend using a leash so they know exactly where you want them to go because Frenchies are easily distracted and will often times want to play.
4. After each meal or drinking water take your Frenchie out to go potty. Frenchies do have a small bladder so try letting them out every two hours.
3. Give your dog a positive reward as soon as they go potty. We use verbal rewards, but feel free to use a treat or toy. If they don't go, put them in the crate and try again in 5 to 10 minutes until they go.
Your Frenchie may test your patience, but stay consistent and enforce the rules that you set for your dog and you will have a happy family!!!
