Five Simple Steps to Potty Training Success

This training solution consists of five simple steps that are repeated until your puppy is accident free when supervised in the house, asks to go outside when she needs to potty and goes as soon as you take her out. Here are the five steps:

  1. Confine. She is confined to her “room” 24/7 when you are not actively watching her.

  2. Respond. You respond immediately when she asks to go outside.

  3. Leash and Treats. You put her on leash, grab her treats, and take her out the same door to the potty area every time.

  4. Reward. If she potties within 10-15 minutes, she is rewarded with a treat, praise and free time with you, outside or inside.

  5. Back to the Room. If she does not potty within 10-15 minutes, she goes back in her “room” no matter what!

    1. Back to the Room Again. After free time in the house but before she asks to go out side, you put her back in her “room” so you can extend the amount of time between potty trips.
