    Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!

    1. Find dedicated spot to put potty pads that is easily accessible for the dog, preferably tiled for easier cleaning
    2. If they chew on something they’re not supposed to, do not make it exciting for them by yelling, hold the item and stay still until they let go then reward them for letting it go
    3. Surround potty pads with playpen/crate to make area more designated, make sure it overlaps a few inches of the playpen
    5. Introduce them to potty pad area, reward when they show interest or sniff it
    6. Walk dog to potty area every hour and after they eat, sleep, or play and use a command like “go potty”
    7. Practice leash training while walking them to potty area
    8. While they are doing the potty (not after) at the potty area, use a marker word, clap, and do positive reinforcement like give them a treat
    9. During accidents, don’t scold, pick them up and put them in the potty area
    10. Always watch out for potty signals like sniffing or pacing around, immediately bring them to potty area and wait until they go potty
    11. Leave a little pee or poo so they can smell it first before you clean it up, they will most likely pee/poo in the same area
    12. Start reducing the size of the potty area by gradually limiting it to a single pad and make them go potty in that small area, this can also be a segue to get them to go potty outdoors
    13. Gradually move potty pad nearer to the door and start taking them outside to potty. Walk them outside every hour. Consistency matters, since you put a command to it they will understand what go potty means then reward them when they go potty outside
    14. Consistency is key.

      Your are incompetent if you can’t afford and/or not responsible enough to get a 5 year old dog shots what makes anyone think you will give a 8 week old puppy shots puppies can’t get all there shots until a minimum of 14 weeks so there still vulnerable until about 1-2 weeks after there last set of shots.
      Dogs can get many diseases in the soil and grass including heart worms this is why you don’t let unvaccinated puppies run outside in the grass at there age there a walking explorer they will eat, lick, play, or put in there mouth this includes stray cat poop anything and everything.

    My fur baby was trained 1st to use pee pads, and then I trained him to go outside. Now he uses both (outdoors when he's outside, pee pads when he's inside). I believe that's healthier for his kidneys, less stressful for us (the humans can go out without worrying or giving our house key to a dog walker, etc), and infinitely more practical. He gets daily walks and playdates and visits to dog parks to sniff around and exercise, as well.

      Omg yes I agree about the bladder problems it can cause. If humans don’t want to hold in their pee for hours why in the world would a dog want to. It’s so uncomfortable. Most trainers bash on potty pads. But honestly it’s so convenient. I work from from home so I’m able to take out my puppy every 1-2 hours to potty But my pup is a notorious peer so He will not hold in his pee for more than 3 hours. he will have accidents on his pads. Better than the floor 😅 the only problem is that sometimes the pee goes out the pad when the pee is too much.

      @@larissa1770 can you please help me? I'm at my end with boyfriends dog. She's no puppy (4yrs old) but was trained improperly. Before I met him she would uncontrollably pee on my foot if excited and it would be super uncomfortable. When we moved in together immediately she started marking our apartment. Even if we lay the pads out she would pee & poop on the rugs which are cream white but now it has stains. She's a chihuahua. She rarely plays😢. Tugs on the leash , and just does everything but not nibble? She jumps on people and tries to eat their food. I think it's taking a toll on our relationship because the smell is unbearable. And the pee is so inconvenient. She pees on pillows and etc. The thing is I'll train her and he'll come back and do the counter opposite of the training. I just need to know is there a spray that kills bacteria in certain spots so she doesn't use it there? Because she's smart. Soo she'll poop by the pad or if I catch her she poops in the air going her cage. I had a pit before and she was an easier dog to train. I was in college so they forced me to give her away. She was the best. I want a dog but it completely turned me off to me not wanting another one. I'm constantly stepping, smelling, or seeing pee. She started peeing on the rugs so it's harder to detect the pee. But the smell is just the same.

      @@Christelletv I understand how frustrating it can be because I have a 5 month old who is stubborn. I would never ever get a puppy again lol. There’s always ways to help but it takes patience & consistency. Because it genuinely sounds like she has no idea that she is only supposed to potty on the pads.
      Jumping : I recommend to not greet her all excited. Don’t even talk to her/look/pet her until she is calm. Even with your guests, tell them to ignore her cause she will end up peeing. If you have a leash on her, before she attempts jumping.. a small tug saying “off”
      Peeing: does she have a play pen or crate? If she’s being everywhere have a limited space for her when she’s unsupervised. Do not give her the privilege to be on your couch or beds. That’s earned within time. In your situation you would have to take her outside to potty every 1-2 hours until she gets the hang of it. If you still want to use pads set up a designated area. Physically take her to the pads the minute she eats/drinks. Having a leash & gently showing her that is where she is supposed to go. When she starts potting say “good potty”. Praise her for her action.
      Also no food or water after 6-7pm. So her bladder won’t get full. Take her on her last potty before bed then back to her crate or play pen.
      Also, a lot of dogs will continue peeing on stuff because they can physically smell their pee/poop there. Even if you cleaned sometimes the scent still lingers. Which is maybe why she continues peeing everywhere. I use vinegar and tea tree oil to cut off the smell. When you wash bedding put in vinegar & baking soda.

    Thank you for normalizing puppy pad training. Our puppy will be arriving in the dead of winter. Today is minus 15 Celsius and too cold for our other dog to go out. I’m also disabled and not always able to get the dogs outside. I’ve always used this option and our current dog knows, no matter where we go, to go on her pad. It makes it really easy to travel with her, especially in places where there isn’t an outdoor area for her to pee in. I hate when trainers insist this isn’t a good idea because sometimes it’s the only option.

    Thank you for acknowledging that sometimes potty training indoors is the best solution for ones particular circumstances, ie, hours worked, wildlife in yard etc. I have a Maltipoo who’s becoming pretty good at using her potty pads ( in a grate), but she also goes outside when needed on walks, outdoor playtime. It seems quite natural for her to be cross trained and that makes life much easier for all of us.

    Omggg thank you so much. Been practicing with my golden doodle for about 3-4hrs. He’s four months the past two months before we walk “let’s go potty” I leash him we’d go. I watched your video today and tried the puppy pads. “Let’s go potty” id point at the pads. He understood sometimes other times I had to walk over with him and point to the pads. By the next hour I was able to just point & say “go potty”. He didn’t actually potty he’d just walk over and sit on the pads. Which means he understood. I gave him a treat each time he successfully did that(we did this for quite some time be patient) . I Gave him a break. He had an accident near the pads. So I walked him “let’s go potty” and tried again an hour later. This time I seen he was anxious and pointed at the pads he was confused I walked over with him and he peed!!! Still lots of work and practice to go but I’m super excited we got it on the first day within a few hours thank you so much. Was not looking forward to taking him to training!

      Rachel, my 4month old male toy ShihTzu weighs almost 3 #, I use paper train, small apt living, your videos say to look at the links below but i can only use your website. Puppy Prince is so small. Is aggressive biter . Growls to get attention or his way. Unsure how to use play pen and crate train together. Potty train in bathroom and eat, play and exercise in small living room and kitchen. We sleep in my bedroom and spread papers there every night. He uses them less yet i dont want to keep bedroom door open all day, sleeps on my bed, doesn’t jump off my high bed. I’m 75 disabled with MS and must have a clear space to walk . So far he seems to sense that i need to walk first but quite a job to get him to follow me. Need to use leash indoors more often.
      Do you have specific advice for Teacup dog breeds ? I will gradually add raw food to his diet, we enjoy the brain games, walks in hall way and home grooming . Cant seem to find a food he loves. Have added organic baby food. He doesnt like as a meal so i use as training treat; Canine ShihTzu dry, changing to Canine freeze dried salmon sweet potato small puppy. Will gradually mix these but he will eat food in a foraging play mat but rarely in a dish, bowl or plate. Water in stainless steel bowl. I’m alone and rely on your advice. Vet is not wholistic. So happy to use flea tick shampoo you suggest in the spring. I live alone in Rolla MO. 2hrs west’s of ST Louis. Cold, 19,00 population college town. Hoping to relocate to Florida closer to daughter #2. I have 3 adult married daughters in their 30s. #1 in far off Kansas City, Mo and #3 in St Louis. 5 grandchildren who love dogs and cats. Raising this puppy is like having a newborn again and now I’m a single low income mother! Life is beautiful. So glad I found you. Warmly, Charlene Bearskin

    Everyone told me not to train my dog to use pee pads because then they will pee inside anywhere. My dog lived 13 years and never went anywhere but the pee pads (or outside). When he went blind he would UNDERSTANDLY sometimes miss the pads a little, but a kennel trey kept it all contained. It was the best decision I made, as I always lived in 2nd floor apts. It was also a life saver during storms and hurricanes when going outisde is impossible. I used LOTS of positive reinforcement for him as a baby and it worked.

We take her a lot of places with us, or we have so far, and when she is not in our home element/yard that she is used too she has a hard time going and sometimes we are away for a week or so. My thought is if i can get her to go indoors on a pad she can go anywhere i put the pad down. Does those potty training scent attractant sprays work for this? Am I making any sense here?

I would start with potty pads, as long as I can later transition him to going outside. He is a golden doodle, and I don't want him to go on a pad when he is bigger, LOL.

    I just got my puppy yesterday. Going to give this a try because she keeps having accidents.

    Thank you for this! I’m getting a puppy tomorrow. And while I’m working from home now. I won’t be in about a month. By that time she’ll only be about 4 months. And my biggest concern is her not having access to outside to relief herself while I’m at work. A ton of people on TH-cam videos say they go home during lunch or hire a walker. My lunch is only 30 minutes and there is just no way I could afford a dog walker every day. My plan is to have a grate around her crate and get some fake grass. So when she’s able to hold her bladder a bit longer. I can take away the pad and it’ll be an easier transition since it’s the same texture.
    To be honest it’s my biggest worry as I also live alone so this video saved me.
