Potty training is essential for both the well-being of your puppy and the cleanliness of your home. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your Scottish Terrier puppy learns proper potty habits that will last a lifetime.

First and foremost, consistency is key when it comes to potty training your Scottish Terrier puppy. Establish a regular schedule for feeding, watering, and potty breaks. Take your puppy outside to their designated potty area first thing in the morning, after meals, and before bedtime.

Patience and consistency will be vital in helping your puppy understand where they are supposed to go potty.

Additionally, it's important to watch for signs that your Scottish Terrier puppy needs to go potty. These signs may include sniffing around, circling, or whining. By being attentive to these cues, you can quickly take your puppy outside to prevent accidents indoors.
