This works! I picked up my puppy on Wednesday and today (Friday) he’s using it. Two days and he’s already going on his own! My puppy is 8 weeks old. I was soooooooo skeptical! This was the best advice ever! Thank you sooooo much!
Yeah who! Yes it is one of the best tricks out there. I’m so glad that it worked out for you. And congratulations on your new addition ❤️
May I ask how you trained !? ...what worked for you!? We have Bengals and I want a chihuahua so bad, and yes we are condo residents. I would love to litter train a pup.
Did you dog love to pee on the furniture? Did he stop? My mother's little yap dog has already piss destroyed a whole furniture set 😑
Awesome
That’s amazing! What if a puppy chews/eats the pellets??
As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.
We have been using this method to raise pups for years. It works great and I tell owners to put the pine pellets in the yard in the "spot" to help transition potty training and it really helps. It's really the best method out there.
Life changing! Considering a dog soon. This is an amazing option for dogs to release while I’m at work.
Please adopt your new dog from a shelter or rescue group 🥰 They’re all SOOO full of animals that are sweet and loving and need a new home. So many people adopted during COVID and now everyone is dumping them back at shelters because they’re going back to work 😢
@@xradelox Why don't you do it then?
@Nobody You Know: I sense sarcasm in your question, but I’ll give you a sincere answer. Because I’m not in a position to get an animal. But I was able to foster 41 kittens and 3 momma cats last year at my old apartment. And I work for a local shelter and volunteer at another one and also for a rescue group in my area. I also helped over 50 cats and dogs get fixed last year just by doing outreach and transporting pets to and from spay/neuter appointments. I also spent $700 on a friend’s two dogs to get their teeth done (one had 6 teeth pulled and the other had 15 pulled) which added years to their lives and increased their quality of life tremendously. I also do outreach in the form of educating pet owners whenever I have the opportunity to, to help them provide better quality food and setups for their pets. I also helped a pet sitting client see multiple issues that were plaguing his dogs and he was able to get them properly cared for, resulting in better quality of life and longer lives (dental cleanings, deworming, treating their ear-mite infestations and getting them neutered). You asked your question like I’m someone who just sits behind a screen, telling other people what to do but not acting in any way myself. But as you can see, I do my part and beyond.
Great for when you can't make it back home for a lunch walk. No regular accidents, no harm done to the bladder of the dog and all that. When you get home you can go on a good walk and play without worrying about the rug or that they've been holding it in for too long.
Actually this is how my pug learned to perfectly be housebroken in almost 3 months old. :)
Although I'd be honest the cats were the ones training him. lol
😂🤣👍👍
I live in a house with a garden here in Norway so my dogs roam free, but I must say, this idea is super smart especially for people with smaller dogs in apartments.
The white Chihuahua that was in the litter box was like “ lady I’m pooping here dude any little Privacy please thanks!!!!! “
I know right???? 😂🤣😂
Thanks for making this amazing video will be trying this out with my new toy poodle puppy I am picking up soon. I had thought about the fake grass but that's sorta pricey and pee pads always seem to get moved and chewed plus they are also expensive. Thanks so much for including the cheaper options so anyone can do this set up at home
These are skills that keep puppies in homes !
We have 7 puppies....a month old. My hisband and I are going to try this. Thanks for the video it was helpful.
Thank you so much for this! I got my Chi yesterday and when used she peed on the puppy pad I moved it to the litterbox and added a light sprinkle of the pellets to get her used to it. Now 4 days later- the box is completely filled with her litter pellets and she hasn’t used the bathroom elsewhere! I loved your teaching!
I used this litter vor over 12 years for my Cats. Brought a 8 weeks old chi puppy home on Saturday . I hope it works. Thank you for posting.
I don't know why this hasn't been a thing for alot longer lol makes sense... I can't believe I never thought of it 🤯
Thank you. I was thinking about getting a small dog but I have an apt. This is helpful.
Chiuahuas are so smart. I have had chiuahuas all my life. I have a Pomeranian now after my last chi passed
Sooooooo helpful!!! X thank you so very much x much love and God Bless from the UK xx
THANK YOU!!!!!! I'm hoping and praying to be getting me a male Chihuahua soon.
Thanks you soooo much for the ideas! I’m tired of having my dog breaking the pee pads I think is is the best idea ever!! I also love the setup you got for your dogs!! Very very useful and convenient 😍
I am so glad you found my little channel!! I LOVE litter boxes and if you find that the pads still need to be in the mix, try the washable kind because they can’t be torn up 😉 You can pick up the iris pen we use on Amazon for under 50 bucks! They are a godsend
Hey so I’m getting a puppy and i wanted to try the litter box line you do, but I’m concerned about the puppy eating them and get sick, you think this can be a future problem?
@@BestInShowBitch update, I decided not to use the litter box since those pallets from tractor supply smells so strong, also concerned about the dog eating it and get sick just so I can save a couple of dollars 🤣 anyways I’m trying the pallets with my guinea pigs hope me luck so they don’t die
@@morenita9670 The paper pellets are great too - your guinea pigs should be fine ;)
Thanks so much for this information, because I’m getting my Yorkie in September, and this is what I wanted to do. Thanks 😊
I’m so glad that you found it! And congratulations on your new addition! Please be sure to let me know how it goes
BIS B will do! 😊
I’m going to be a brand new Shichon Mama in February and because I work this will be my plan...but my question is will a box trained puppy potty outside if you are out and about say at the park or beach?
@@serranosx5 Absolutely! Mine go outside in the yard on the regular. The litterbox is fabulous for crappy weather days, (hurricanes here in Florida) and for more city dwellings where getting them outside might take a but longer. Congrats on your little one btw 😉
Hi sis, can you please let me know how you and your Yorkie do. I’d like one too and my bday is on the 10th of this month....trying to talk hubby into getting me one, but I’d like to hear someone else’s experience with a Yorkie
Love this video. Love the information provided. Love the cheaper option you gave. Pee pads are expensive.
So glad you enjoyed it! Yes six dollars a bag is a huge savings! If you’re going to do pee pads the washable ones are a fabulous option by the way
Oh my gosh....you have beautiful chi’s....my baby is 15 now and moved to a high rise so in Orlando Florida area...so I’m going to have to potty pad to the outdoor lani area...so I hope it goes well. She’s very smart and knows many words....and she’s in good condition...we still walk every single day...all the tips help!
Ok, I never thought of using the litter from Tractor Supply ! This is going to save us so much money over the Second Nature litter that we potty train our puppies with. Thank you so much for sharing !!!
T floridaokiegal You are so very welcome! Yes second nature is an amazing product but equine pine is much cheaper!!!
I love this video and the puppies are adorable I just got three chiweenie puppies and I'm having a same trouble that you spoke of the puppies want to pee on all of my rugs so God bless you and thank you for this video love you girl
My puppy is 4 months I’m about to start training her to use this !!
Thank you so much for this video!!
Thanks for the horse pellets tip, will save me a lot of money :)
OMG thank you , I need this !
This is such good information
We had a 40lb American Eskimo who taught herself how. She lived with 10 cats and hated the rain, so we'd see her go in the litter box(which was way too small for her) and pee in it. If I had a small dog I would def litter train them. We have a lot of birds like crows that love to pickup bunnies so small dogs aren't safe to be alone outside. Though right now I have Siberian Huskies who can't go near the cat box because they think poo is candy lol
I have four dogs and we live in the country side where we have cougars bobcats more wildlife and we take them being inside at night along with are life stalk so the potty pad method will work well for us
Seeking advice, I have an 8 year old chihuahua who has been going outside to do his business his whole life. We’ve been living in a house with a fenced in yard, so all I have to do now is open the back door and he can take as much time as he needs. We are about to move into an apartment and would love an effective indoor potty option for those moments where I won’t be able to take him out to the green space myself. For context, we lived in an apartment a few years back and I bought a tray/faux grass setup. He was too anxious to even go near it
great information thank you❤️
My German Shepherd puppy was so smart and easy to train, never needed a pee pad for him. I just adopted a chi mix that's a few years old. He pees in the backyard like he's supposed to, but prefers to poop in the basement lol. I hope this works!
I'm waiting for my pup to come home, and I have been stressing about how to potty train since I live in an apartment and pup won't have all vaccines yet.
This is a great solution, especially since I switched to pine pellets for my cats litter!
Congratulations on 91k views!
Thanks! Just got back from Tractor Supply. Going to pick up our Toy Schnauzer tomorrow!
You are so very welcome and congratulations on your new addition! Would love to hear how it goes
hi, so did it work for your dog?
love it! this is great
Thank you!!!
Good information ❤
ofcourse im watching this a month AFTER I got 2 chi breeds bonded and 5 years old. they use the pads, and cleaning up after their rug confusion has been a mess. I have secluded them to using a giant puppy bad a family member sent me, meant for bigger dogs, but even that has been better than them peeing whenever and wherever. I'm definitely going to try this
I’ve definitely been looking into this a lot as my older dog has developed some issues and my dogs will NOT go to the bathroom when it rains. I’m glad to hear about a breeder using it too because I want to breed in the future! This is a great video and I’m very grateful for it.
If you love dogs and puppies, please be a foster for a local shelter or rescue instead of breeding ❤️ Mother dogs with litters are always in desperate need of a foster home because raising a litter in a loud, crowded shelter is very stressful. Depending on the area the shelter is in and how completely stuffed they are with animals and trying to care for them all with very little resources or help, many times Mother dogs and cats are euthanized along with their litters because the shelter does not have the space to care for them or the two months it takes for them to grow to adoption age. This is not the shelter’s fault! This happens because people don’t spay/neuter and because they buy and breed instead of adopting and fostering. PLEASE foster. You’ll be saving lives instead of contributing to the death tolls by breeding even more animals into an already overwhelmed pet system. (Side note: The shelter or rescue you foster through will supply you with all you need to care for them so you don’t have to pay for anything!)
@@xradelox I support responsible breeders.
I agree that there’s a huge difference between breeders that care about their animals and the genetics they pass on as opposed to puppy mills and backyard breeders. My point was that at this point in time, breeding in any way adds to a very overwhelmed pet population. When a person buys a puppy/kitten/hamster/Guinea pig/whatever (even from responsible breeders), now that person is not going to adopt a homeless animal that is happy and healthy and just as deserving of life and a home. And when shelters keep getting animals pouring through the doors but not enough foster homes and adoptive homes step forward, then the shelter is forced by the community members to euthanize animals to make room for more coming in. So while there is a big difference between breeders that love their animals and care about the genetics they’re passing on vs backyard breeders and puppy/pet mills, at THIS point in time, ANY breeding results in more deaths. So there really is no such thing as “responsible breeding” right now. When every animal born equals an animal dying, that’s not being responsible. If I had the circumstances to have a bunch of dogs around my home, I would go to FL and CA every few months and pull small dogs from shelters there (because they’re so prolific in those areas) and bring them to the area I live in (because small dogs are rare in shelters in my area compared to larger breeds) and I would get them vetted and put them up for adoption. I would love to be able to help save those little lives. Look at it this way: the average litter size for small dogs is what? Like 5 puppies? If you had to shoot 5 dogs to death before you could breed your dog to sell her 5 puppies, would you do it? Could you really look into their eyes as you pull the trigger? Well that’s what’s actually happening when people breed. For every animal born, another animal dies. That’s not responsible at all.
@@xradelox educate yourself on the reality of responsible breeders. If you work on shutting down BYBs and puppy mills instead of people that are one if not THE biggest help during this time, then maybe you’d see a difference in shelter populations. Responsible breeder’s animals will never end up in a shelter. A lot of responsible breeders work with shelters and rescues. You’re demonizing the only people that are helping the public get healthy, forever protected and planned animals instead of stopping the actual problem. And news flash, if they stop breeding, there will no longer be any animals.
I got an email reply from you but I don’t see it in the thread here but I still wanted to address a few points:
“TeguEggu

And news flash, if they stop breeding, there will no longer be any animals.”
Of course our biggest goal IS to shut down backyard breeders and puppy mills and to have other people spay/neuter their pets so they don’t have unplanned litters. Like I already said, I KNOW there’s a huge difference in the quality of care for those animals and animals cared for by decent breeders. I also know that decent breeder’s animals hardly ever (but I won’t say never) end up in shelters. HOWEVER, as I’ve already said, when someone buys a puppy from a decent breeder, now that buyer is not going to go adopt a homeless animal from a shelter or rescue. Animals don’t have to actually enter the shelter system themselves in order to affect the animals that are already there. In a perfect world, no breeding would be done on accident or by selfish people and millions of animals wouldn’t be dying every year due to homelessness. But we aren’t in a perfect world. ANY animal born, no matter who the breeder is, takes up a home that could have gone to a homeless animal that’s already alive. As for your other argument about if breeders stopped, then we wouldn’t have anymore animals, there really is no concern in that area. Not only will there ALWAYS be other animals (super sweet and social ones) from other rescues in other countries that need homes that could be brought here and adopted out after vetting and quarantine, but we also really should revamp how we look at dog breeds (and by extension any species bred in captivity, like Skinny Pig Guinea Pigs, Persian Cats, Munchkin Cats, etc). The vast majority of breeds are SO deformed with such exaggerated features and those poor animals born into those bodies are in constant pain and always suffering because of it. In my book, you can’t say you love animals and then breed them on purpose to be deformed. Pugs, Frenchies, English Bulldogs, American Bullies and all their varieties, Great Danes, Dachshunds, Basset Hounds, ShihTzus, Sharpeis, Apple Head Chihuahuas, Persian Cats, Munchkin Cats, Skinny Pigs, the list goes on and on and on. None of those breeds should be allowed to be bred anymore. Look up Kenny the white tiger and compare his face to a healthy tiger’s face. Then look up an English Bulldog and compare it’s face to a wolf. What are your thoughts when you see Kenny? Do you think he looks healthy and good that way? What about the bulldog? Do you think that’s cute? Why is it that you feel sorry for Kenny but you think the bulldog is cute? It’s the same deformity! It’s cruel to breed them that way. It’s NOT “responsible”! ANYONE who breeds animals to have exaggerated features and “rare” “unique” colors ALWAYS ends up with health issues attached to those features. You cannot separate breathing issues from a flat face. You cannot separate join pain and back issues from long bodies with short legs. You cannot separate skin issues from wrinkly skin. I don’t know how else to say it. Most breeds should not be bred anymore so that the breed can be allowed to die out over time. Then in the far future when there is no longer an overpopulation problem and we’re able to consistently help homeless animals in other countries, THEN we could start breeding programs for new breeds that are bred with excellent HEALTH, and TEMPERAMENT as the goals instead of exaggerated looks. THAT is being responsible. Breeding the way we are now (regardless of how well the parents and offspring are loved and cared for) is NEVER responsible. Responsible = doing what’s right for the animals. And breeding based on looks is never right.
I just like how the fist dog using the liter box was like "Um excuse me, Im in the toilet?!😳😨
I love this video! I also use the same pine pellets for my cats and I am I cat breeder. I am looking for one good breed of dog to fit in with me. This would work.
Thanks
There is a future for me to get another pet. I'm not a cat person only owned a stray cat when I was in grade school. I will get a mini toy breed in future when timing is right. I always had dogs in life tried to train it to go in a litter box. I found it a challenge. It bever workerd. It is possible to litter box train a dog wow this video is awesome🤗
I love it
Love your video! Any suggestions for a puppy that loves to go on softer material - like my rugs and potty pads? 😡😩😢
Thank you so much!!! Yeah, sounds like the pup is pad trained (hitting the rugs is one of the downfalls of this training) first I would pick them up until training is solid. Try placing a piece of their stool in the box to kind of point out where you want them to go. If the pad is large enough, place it UNDER the box as well 😉
Great video
Thanks!
i have a question 🙋🏻♀️
how does this method work work out with male puppy’s once they start to lift their leg?
loveeeee you content for sure the most informative especially for me a poodle fanatic and new subscriber 😉😁 thanks in advance 😊
I have the same question in case I get a male dog.
Mine is 10 weeks and just wants to eat the pellets. I read that can cause a blockage. And he doesn't seem to want to walk in them. I have a box I've been putting a pad in but he's mistaking area rugs so i thought the pellets would help him know that's where he goes. But he just wants to eat them
I'm so glad I found this video! I have a litter of puppies I'm raising for my sister and the breeder. I'm going to try with these puppies. Also, my sister has an older chihuahua that needed rehoming. Unfortunately he is peeing all over her house. Think there is hope for him to learn?
Please let me know how it goes! Starting them as young as you can is the best way! And when it comes to older males I have found that if you put something in the middle of the litter box for them to “mark “it inspires them. If possible I would recommend some thing glass because it’s easy to wash and it will not retain any urine smell. Unlike plastic. Unless you use something inexpensive and plan on throwing it out and replacing it
Will do! Headed over to amazon to get my supplies. Wish me luck!
@@VivianResnick How did it go?
@@throughthicknthin2287 Fantastic! Lucy whelped the 3 babies all on her own like a champ! Puppies are now 5.5 weeks old and the cutest things on the planet!
May I get the link to the bumper beds? Thank you!💜🐾
Thank you for sharing this information. I’ve been looking for a litter box for dogs but can’t find since almost all the searches show pee pee pads only, and I’m happy to see your video. I’d like to ask if a 2-month old shih tzu can still be trained in using a litter box. I’m getting it next month and it’s my first dog so I’m excited and a bit nervous.
You are so very welcome and yes most definitely! I’ve taught three-year-old dogs how to do it. It is most definitely a lifesaver especially with small dogs and horrible weather 😉
And congratulations on your new addition! Be sure to let me know how the training goes
What size is that puppy pen in the video?
This is great for small apartment pups, I’ve been spending a fortune on a small dog that is trained to pee in a crate 😭😭, he won’t pee on trees , I walk him 3 blocks only for him to run in the crate when we get home , in need to litter train
Thank you for the helpful ideas I have a baby Chihuahua his name is Chico and he loves to pee on the rugs. I was thinking why can't he use a litter box. he's small like a cat... hence my TH-cam search and found your video now I'm off to the store for a litter box and tractor supply.
I’m so glad you found my video! And definitely cannot wait to hear how it works out for you. And those pellets are the best find EVER!!! 😉
How did you travel on the road or fly with a litterbox trained chi? Will they use a pad also & will the pad be confusing so they potty on rugs or carpet? Is litter cleaner for their feet than pads?
Trained my parents' elderly (16 yrs) Maltese to use potty pads in a litterbox. She still has accidents occasionally, but not near as often.
Just got my 8 week old puppy yesterday and got a pine pellets set up in a big cage with her bed. She seems to hate it so far and just cries, I put in a few washable toys for her to chew on but I'm not going to break down and pick her up cause she needs to learn. I pray it works.
I'm going to be getting a Boston terrier and we live 3 floor apt I just thought this would work well . We were getting a kitten but it fell thru so I have a stainless litter box and silica crystal litter that I can use . And then if need be transfer over to pellets . Ty for video. Are there any products to like attract pup to the litter box area ?
That’s funny I use that type of litter for my cat so if I get a puppy I guess I can use it for the puppy to. Could you box and turf train them so that if you’re outside in the grass they would go outside to and not just wait to get back inside.
You sure could! I will say I have found that some dogs are a little too snooty and will definitely acknowledge the difference between natural grass and artificial. I would train them for both
awesome
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
So glad I found you. I am getting a puppy.... So many questions
Sorry
Do I kept him in the "cage" until he learns?
I walk in my home when it's cold and outside when it's warm and wish to do the same with thw puppy. I saw ur reference to different leashes when answering another question. I would not imagine needing a leash for indoors but was not clear what you meant?
Now this is just a TRULY silly question but.... Do litter trained dogs poop outside as well? I mean if I plan to travel, litter is not a part of my luggage🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much for posting
When you bring your puppy home and begin this training, do you keep the litter box in his bed area like you show as he grows up(im talking for a small breed) or do you have to separate their bed and food from th potty area? Thi s looks amazing for when I will be gone for 8 hrs or so!!!
I’m moving to a small apartment soon and I want to litter box train my dog. Where would be a good place to place the box? The bathroom?
I'm adopting a 2 year old toy chihuahua rescue used to using puppy pads. I'm wanting to train him to use the box in my bathroom. I wonder if I should start him in a playpen or by putting pads next to the box in the bathroom. I haven't gotten him yet, so I don't know how good he is at only going on the pads.
Where did you get the litter boxes with the high sides? I'm using the ones from the dollar store and sometime my puppy's butt is too close to the side and poop💩 ends up outside the box.
we have a dachshund puppy that eats everything-would love to do this but how do you keep then from playing in the pellets and eating them?
I’m having a maltese puppy soon and I’m planning to litter box train him. I found this video very helpful (thank you) but am I supposed to keep him in a crate all day? what if he pees/poops outside of the litter box if I take him out of the crate?
I’m so glad that you found it helpful. And please know if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask. Are you going to be home during the day? If you’re going to be at work you can crate train them. How old will the puppy be when you get them? The Age well let me know just how long the puppy can go in the crate without being let out. My suggestion is to do a pen like Lana did in the video. That contains them and allows them to have access to the litter box. I always say when you start litter box training you will notice to PP and Poopoo dance. They start to sniff the ground and usually go in circles. Pick them up and put them inside the litterbox. I would do the same if they start to soil outside of the box
🤣 The look the white dog gave when she was going potty and got filmed
this really works:)
❤️❤️❤️
❣️❣️❣️❣️ thanks!!!
Good video. I'm having a hard time finding a puppy litter box/tray. Everything says kitty litter box. Didn't find any at Dollar General.
A regular litter box for kitties is fine. You just want to make sure that the sides are not too high. I use the basic medium size from Petco all the time
@@BestInShowBitch Thanks. Petco has a litter box designed for puppies now. It is really good. Has a 3 inch side for small pups.
@@SonnySky7 PERFECT!!!! :)
Hi there. How long do you think the litter lasts in the box for say 2 pups?
How do you clean it? I know poo you pick up as you go, but urine? Do the pellets clump? Or do you just leave it alone and replace the entire thin at the end of the day? How often to you replace entire bedding?
How do I start an adult chihuahua who has never been pad trained to use a litter box? Also never been confined to a cage or small area. We are moving to a small apartment (I'm a senior). Advice please.
Our yorkie has been with us for 2 days he runs where no one is looking and pees and poops on the floor QwQ instead of doing it in the litter box he sleeps in it !
will the dog that get used the tray use the outdoor as well?
Have you experienced a puppy who tries to eat the pine pellets ? if so how do you avoid them doing so ?
My question as well
Thank you so much for sharing your fantastic idea! Your puppies are adorable! I’m getting a 12-week Shih Tzu in October. I’m interested in training him to go potty in the bathroom. I will put that out in addition to a pee pad in the bathroom. I will be home, but I plan on crate training. I haven’t seen any videos on this, but I assume I should do the same as if I was training outside, but bring him to the bathroom instead. Any thoughts? Thanks!
First congratulations on your new addition! What an awesomely fun breed! When you say in the bathroom can you explain more? Do you mean put in the litter box in the bathroom? If so then I would do you just as you mentioned. Bring him straight to the bathroom and place him in the litter box. I totally agree with the crate training. It makes things so much easier and honestly they really like having their own den. I think I need to do a video just on that!
Hi can I ask where you're getting your shih tzu from? I am looking for one, but I don't really trust online sites.
PurpleBunny Vlogz contact the AKC.org. They have a section for breeders in your area. Good luck!
Hello! I use these pellets for my dog but sometimes I find her eating them and I have to pry it out of her mouth. Any tips on preventing that?
🦓🐾 I don't see a link to the beds. Please advise or send me a link. Hoping to get a Pom or PomChi by September. My beloved almost 15 yr old Brussels crossed the rainbow bridge just this past May 6, 2022. (not sure I can wait that long though). 🐾🦓
My cat is litter box trained (with the Mallards pellets like you have). Will puppy and cat go together?
Hi we went to get the pellets you suggested and will start to use it for our puppy! If they poop on the pellets, do you have to take the poop right away as soon as you notice? How often do you clean their poop on there? Thank you!
Until they actually get it down I’ll leave it in there for a little bit. It’s kind of like a Que if you get my meaning. I generally pick out the solids twice daily or after they happen and then change the entire box weekly.
Do you find that the dogs dog around and put the pellets in their mouth? Or track the pellets out of the box?
Thanks so much! I couldn't find horse pine or alfalfa pellets anywhere near me. Are any natural wood pellets (no dye or chemicals) ok?
No farm stores?
Hello! I just found this video and I’m so impressed. Our breeder has already litter trained our mini Aussie and since it’s winter and so nasty we decided to continue with this for now. I read through the other questions and comments but i was hoping to get a more specific answer from you. 😉
1. How do I mitigate the smell? Baking soda? Or does the litter keep the smell down? We have a TS right by our house so I’m going to get what you suggested, but I have a super nose and am concerned about it smelling.
2. When I change out the litter and disinfect it, do I need to keep some of the pee litter so she smells it and knows where to go?
3. We plan on her also going outdoors so will this be confusing to her or will she be able to figure it out? When she’s full grown (25ish lbs) will she be too big for the litter box?
Sorry for the million questions but I do appreciate your responses and this video!
Oh my word I'm so sorry I'm just finding this! What litter are you using?
Yes you could throw some baking soda in there. If you find that the pine is too much have you tried the paper pallet products? It's a little bit more money but with a super knows it might be beneficial.
Once they are trained to know to go in the box you don't have to retain any of the litter to continue them going there. They will know to go.
The scent of the litter… LOL unfortunately… Is what will bring them back
No it should not be confusing at all. It's just like when you train a dog for the show. It knows the difference between a show lead and a regular standard collar. They work in the lead and "play" in the collar. Dogs are way smarter than we give them credit for ;)
You have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask. I promise to not take so long to find them LOL
@@BestInShowBitch Just an idea, we use a timothy hay pellet for bunny, and it keeps the smell down, BUT its more expensive than the product you recommended.
Does the pellets clump so you can lift the waste out like clumping cat litter?
Hi! I’m in the process of training my dogs to use a litter box and I was wondering how do you go about cleaning the litter ?
You clean the empty box with hot water and soap. You don’t clean the litter, you throw it away after it starts to get smelly. Before that you use a scoop to remove any feces as soon as you notice it or oce or twice a day.
We have a 12 week old Shih Tzu /Poodle. We have had him about 3 weeks. He was trained to use the litter box by the breeder and it is continuing to work fairly well for us. The only concern at this time is that when he urinates he is only putting his 2 front legs in the litter box box and the end result is that he pees on the floor next to the litter box. The litter is clean and I have gotten an oversized litter box for dogs. He sleeps in a 3 x 3 exercise pen at night and during the day the litter box is in an open area that he has access. Any idea how to get him to put all 4 legs into the litter box before he goes to the bathroom? Thanks
I've searched the comments, do you have a link for the bed you use?
My puppy tends to try to eat the litter so I went to potty pads but then my puppy started eating the pads too… I would like to go back to litter because I did learn pads teach the dog to pee on soft surfaces like you said in your video… do you have any suggestions for stopping puppies from eating litter?
Can you please help me? My 10 week old Papillon was pad trained but I’m trying to get her to use a litter box. She eats it like crazy! Digs in it like crazy! I need her to be 100% off the pads. We tried the puppy paper pellets and alfalfa pellets.
We tried the pad/fake grass thing too- she will pee on it but not poo! In fact she will pee on it but also love to sit on that grass and chill.
Other than that she’s great at going outside- just dosent give me a audible cue yet- getting the bells soon.
Sounds like for 10 weeks old your little one is doing really well!!! My recommendation would be to place the pad under the litter box to see if that pulls them in that direction. If that makes sense?
Also pick up stool and place it in the box giving them a que to go there. The key is to get this scent in the box so they know where to soil. I would definitely do you scheduled feedings and then watch them like a hawk for the PP dance. You know, where they start doing the whole circle thing. Pick them right up and put them in the box. I am awesome heard of people taking a soiled pad I am placing it in a portion of the box to bring the scent in.
Could my dog learn to use one of those self cleaning litter robots
How often do you change the litter? And do you use a scope to clean like kitty litter?
I change the litter box once a week. Also I just usually pick up the poop with paper towel and throw it out. You would not want to flush the pellets on a toilet. The pellets turn to sawdust once they get wet
Hi this sounds great! My 6 months old yorkie female she was pad trained then decided she wasn’t going to do her business on pads anymore . I do have a confined area for her and I do put her in there to do her business often but does nothing then when let out she will do it on floor 😢. Now knowing she is 6 months would the litter box work? Is there some kind of smell that makes them go on that horse pellets that makes them go? I will try anything I need help so bad I’m loosing my mind lol
Thanks lucie
Yorkies are so hard to train, my little guy is 5 months and using the disposable pee pads. Mine stop using them as well until I noticed if he pees more than a couple times he wont go on them so I change them after the third use and everything is fine now.
Any tips on litter training an older small breed dog?
I’m scared to get the litter trained puppy as opposed to the one that’s not trained because I want them to go outside. However, going in the litter obviously beats on the floor or in the kennel area. It’s one of those things that makes you wonder which is a better option. Besides if the weather is nasty I don’t mind the dog using a litter box but will they use only that when the gates are removed or only if it’s nearby?
My family dog was litter box trained and for a while I didn’t know other dogs weren’t. I always wondered what people did when they went to work. It feels bad that they have to hold it for 8+ hours
What kind of crate is that please? I tried to find one that wasn’t a folding one so I could keep the top off. We used to do that with our Danes and I haven’t been able to find one.
They are called puppy play pens by Midwest. We use the medium size mostly. That’s what you see in the video. Here’s a link amzn.to/3i5gZ0F
How often are you changing the box?
