Wow that Pet Porch Potty look so amazing. You are very talented and amazing. May God continue to Bless you with more talent. I love ❤️ watching your DIY’S. Thank you 🙏🏼 for sharing your amazing projects. Can’t wait for the next video.
Thank you for explaining stuff so clearly. I don't even have a patio so this is great. You could put wood pellets is the bottom to help absorb some of pee, so it doesnt slosh. And it will smell like cedar instead of pee.
YES!! I’ve been waiting for someone to do a tutorial on something like this! I live in an apartment and am thinking about getting a puppy soon, so this is great
Just L👀K at that Adorable Face. Cali .. I woof you to pieces 🤗😘 and the 3rd Birthday "shrine" .. you spoiler you, Rachel, and rightfully so! 😉 Nice project for your little princess 👑!! All is well. Thanks babe! 💕
Great idea! I priced these a couple months ago, and they're not cheap! Not to mention, the reviews about cleaning them and odor aren't great, so making one, especially that comes apart, is genius! I have a doggie who's on steroids often for skin allergies, and therefore can't hold his bladder for more than 2hrs at a time, so I really want something like this for him. Getting him to use it will probably be a challenge too tho lol
First time commenting on TH-cam, it's not normally my thing. Just wanted to say that I've been watching your videos almost constantly while I'm working from home and have been inspired to pull out my power tools. Started redoing my bedroom while I'm stuck at home! Oh and I feel you on the canker sores. Try "Canker Sores Begone". Works wonders for me.
The diy pallet dog bed you made 2 years ago I loved it so we are making it for my pup who just turned one he’s a big boy now I’m sure he will love the bed YOU designed 😂💖I actually saw it that day you posted it before I even got my dog! and his bed got way to small and he had been sleeping on a blanket and I was like oh yes I remember that video before I got him and it was a wooden bed because there so expensive to buy anyways thanks for posting that video it will go with my living room perfectly💗💗🥺🐶
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz that did not work for me though, no amount of rinsing could get the smell of dog pee out of my Astro turf. Tried vinegar, tried hot water and dawn, nothing. Had to trash it ☹️
@@grayonthewater I was thinking that using wood would make it smell after a while. Maybe plastic or stone would be a better fit. Something that doesn't soak in liquids
Gray Glider Girl you have to change AstroTurf regularly. I used to use it at my old job and despite daily cleaning every 2 months we would change it. Real grass is better
So Imma start off by referencing the 07:39 mark "having the pee/grass touch me potentially or like holding it out or tripping"!!! which is exactly what would happen to me man!!! Such a fantastic project Homes!!! I love how you put your spin on the projects you make and how much you think ahead. Like the tarp & the handles. And.... again, we got one negative nelly with one dislike at the time I'm watching this!!! All the little touches make it off da chain Cuz!!! Until da next one keep on keepin on!!! Dirty Jersey out!!!
I love this design. The inspiration potty people must have never cleaned up stinky diarrhea! Your design is great! Take the lid off and spray the back to shoot the mess the way it came from instead of through the grass... Getting all the bits lodged in the.... Well you get the idea... Sorry...❤🌅🌵😷
Love this diy!!! and I don’t even have a dog but will be book marking it for the future~ also Cali has THE MOST prettiest eyes but I think it’s also bc she looks like she wearing eyeliner 😂 😍
I just bought something similar from the pet store. Of course it’s made of plastic and not as nice as Callie’s but I have a little dog that will pee in the house if left too long inside. How do you get your dog to use it? I haven’t been able to get mine to actually use the turf pad. Anyway, what a cute build for a practical piece.
I live in Texas and when it rains, it pours. My dog refuses to relieve herself while its raining. This is a great idea. I just need to invest in the tools!
Dogs usually pee where someone else has already peed. If your dog won't use this... Here's a couple of tips... Next time she has an accident, place the dirty rags in the compartment below. Next time she gets up there, she'll smell it and make a deposit. ... The other tip is to buy a pack of "puppy training pads". These are made with "the smell" built right into the pads. Slip one or two in the compartment below the grass and she should get the idea. ... If she has a favorite spot in the yard to do her business, place the porch potty there. Between the smell and the placement, she's sure to get the idea! ❤🌅🌵😷.
For the wonderful summer heat pests, you should check out a video by Thrift Diving! It’s called “Make your own garage door screen- diy tutorials” it might help keep those bugs out! she’s got a great channel!
What type of English Bulldog is Cali? I feel like she’s a “tiny” English Bulldog. She’s so cute!!! If there are different types...can someone let me know?
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz If you're still having difficulty, it might help to add a little of your own pee to it. Remember that dogs pay particular attention to smells.
This is really really beautiful but I’ve tried this and it smells awful very quickly and no amount of rinsing will get rid of it🤢 I literally did the same thing with a box and the heavy duty tarp liner and the Astro turf and I had to trash the whole thing in 6 months. I tried again with just a dog crate pan and puppy pad liner and sod because I figured I could just throw the sod and pads away every couple of weeks and buy new ones since they are cheap but even that added up and didn’t seem sustainable for the long term. I finally just used that same dog crate pan and filled it with kitty litter and just litter box trained my dog and that’s what we are still doing years later. Kitty litter is cheap, it’s safe for dogs but she doesn’t eat it anyway, and it’s the only thing that doesn’t stink up the balcony (I’m on an upper floor of an apartment). Just wanted to share with y’all! You really made a gorgeous doggy potty, it would be great if you could give an update 6months to a year down the road and let us know how it works out. I can just say for sure from my experience it wasn’t a good long term solution
Also if she’s not peeing on it you can get this spray that will encourage her to :) there’s lots of options on amazon but it basically just adds a scent that makes her want to mark her territory so she’ll learn it’s not a bed, but somewhere to go to the washroom
I like the idea, but I would never make this with wood. You do not want a porous material for urine or stool... I wonder if you could make it with composite decking material, using a shower stall base... Maybe?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Good video plus information. I'm moving to a high-level condo & I was thinking of purchasing one of these for my little princess, plus I would buy one of those bottles to make my dog pee on this, thank you for posting this video........ Abrazos
There is a mute button, you are able to close out of the video any time and there are millions of other videos out there with less annoying humans narrating. Can't change my voice hun xx.
Awe sorry you feel that way! It's not meant to be in the house. It's meant to be outside on an apartment patio or something like that! Hope you have a great week xx.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz Either way! You didn't angle the bottom towards the drain to the pee is just going to sit where it lands. So you'll either have to scrub the whole thing down every time or its just going to be disgusting.
The fire hydrant! Such a cute touch
Thank you!

Appreciate that xx.
Ha! Callie is so cute!! Hopefully she'll use it eventually, but if not, at least she has another bed! I love it! 💖
Thank you so much Paula! Hope you're well xx.

Haha thank you Gina!
Oh My Dog, I love Callie. She is absolutely precious. Thank you for this tutorial!
Awwwww. I love how she's just chilling there!
She is the sweetest!
This is a great idea. Plus, I'm obsessed with woodworking and power tools. I hope someday to have enough time to do more woodworking diy's. Great job!
I hope you do too! It's so fun!

Just the way your dog sits. 😍😆 Aww SO cute! 🤗🐶

ohhh goodness she is sooo adorable. Happy 3rd birthday Cali
Thank you so much!
She's the cutest!!!💕💕
Thank you Tasha!
How would you clean this to make sure it won't smell?
....take the top off and rinse it thoroughly...that's why I made the top portion removable when you spray it down.

I love the black underline her eyes! You're right it's like makeup!
Beautiful dog❤️ Excellent job on the potty. We bought that $299 porch potty😢 A bit pricy, but It works. Wish I had your skills though👍
The fire hydrant 😍
Cute little touch!
This is adorable and such a good idea!!! 😊
Thank you Deanna!
I'm not missing one, I lost it. Jk bit gremlin strikes again. Badass build. Doing this

I am still training her as you can see by the end of the video haha. Thank you!
Haha! Yes she looked like she was making herself comfortable. At least she acknowledges it. My dog just ignores it altogether.
Haha

Yes she is a micro English Bulldog!
Did she ever use it? If yes, how was the cleaning process, easy or nah?
Thank you again. You're an inspiration
She hasn't used it yet haha she still thinks it's a bed.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz I think its to comfortable HAHA. Maybe a puppy training spray would help encourage her?
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz If you're still having difficulty, it might help to add a little of your own pee to it. Remember that dogs pay particular attention to smells.
This would be good for an appointment
Yes! Perfect for apartments xx.
I think she will treat it like a bed because it was her old bed and she probably can still recognize it
She ignores it all together haha.
That was cute good job
Thank you Angela!
Lmao omg the bug that flew in was the highlight of this video 😂😂😂
Straight up dive bombed my head.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz lol omg it made me laugh, I dislike bugs that go straight for you 😲
It’s so cute! She’s so cute! I want a dog
She is incredible.
So, did your dog ever use it or was it just a bed

The same problem of mine.... It smells so quickly and it hard to clean.... Especially with the wood material

She is gorgeous
She really is.
Hahahaha very nice. Idea and my lovely beauty dog! 🤘🏻😉❤️
Thank you!
I like the idea, but I would never make this with wood.
You do not want a porous material for urine or stool...
I wonder if you could make it with composite decking material, using a shower stall base... Maybe?
Totally something you should give a go at! I just used a crazy waterproof sealant!
I watched this video with my dog and the whole time I swear he was looking at me like 'bitch don't even try it' 😅😂
Hahaha
I do enjoy your videos but I did not understand the concept. Hope u will update us on this project
It's a solution for people who have dogs that do not have a yard. Now you can DIY a patch for them to go!
“No I’m not missing one, I lost it so it’s missing”.... lmao
Haha
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz sorry lol not trying to be rude but that gave me a good laugh. I like that set though.
bless her. My parents have a english bulldog and yours reminds me of him. his name is Frank lol.
Has she pee'd on it yet?
No - she thinks I DIY'ed a vacation spot for indoors haha.
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz aww bless her 😅
Di I ever tell you how much that freakin Dog kills me!!!!! She just kills me man!!! Dirty Jersey out again!!!
She's the best!
Ugh she is so stinking cute!!!💕💕💕💕
She's the best.
Great video build. Just wish you didn’t have the music playing. I found it very distracting .
There's other tutorials out there with no music. I love it though so that will be a continued thing in my videos.
My dogs would never use it as potty either.....they'd use it as a bed lol
Haha
@kalynnicholson she needs this for bentley in toronto !!
What drill did you use?
I think in this one was my Ryobi one!
I saw this on SharkTank the other day, i think it was called FreshPatch
Yes but I wanted to see if I could DIY mine for less!
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz Always good to save money where you can lol
HOW CAN I PURCHASE FROM YOU?
It's not for purchase- it's a DIY you can do!
If she's prone to having like urine infections try putting cranberries in with her food just plain cranberries
Thank you!
That isnt a missing piece, I actually used it and lost it... ie MISSING hahahaha
Hahahaha

a potty for a dog?
It's mainly for people who might now have backyards for their dog to go freely!

Could you imagine if someone walked up to you and said you talk too much and they are so annoyed? How rude right?
