Welcome to my blog about Potty Training Puppies. This is one of the first tasks to tackle when you bring home your new pet. And, it’s one of the most important. Proper training right from the start will make it easier for you and your new best friend.

We’ve had two dogs from puppies. A Golden Retriever named Pirate who lived until he was 16 and a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier named Una (rhymes with tuna and means ‘unity’ and ‘little lamb’ in Gaelic). Both were crate-trained with great succes.

However, crate-training isn’t the only way to go. As you’ll discover in the various articles and videos on this page, there are a number of methods. The common thread is the use of consistency and patience. Read and view to discover the method that’s right for you.

Although there are so many different ways to potty train a puppy. It is very difficult to find one that suit your pup’s need and fits your life style.
A Simpler Method for Indoor Potty Training :
This method is like making a deluxe crate = a better larger crate with a bathroom in it .
This way your new dog won’t go all over the house at the beginning while he/ she is still learning to master it’s potty training skill.
Using a traditional crate will be too hard for people who go to work 8 - 5 daily and when the puppy is still too small to hold their pee for 7 -9 hours.
This method I created is proven to be VERY SIMPLE for ANY pups to understand. It even works for older/ untrained dogs, house with multiple dogs like mine, or hyper pups who can’t focus.
It also works for busy owners and family with children who likes to keep the house clean & urine- free.
You MUST START THE POTTY TRAINING STEPS BEFORE YOU BRING YOUR DOG HOME. Yes, that’s right !
What that means is, before you bring your new dog home, you must :
1. Get a GATE / PLAYPEN for your home to make boundaries for your new dog.
Your house is too big and confusing for the new dog and it needs your help to make it simpler for him/ her by using gates / playpen.
*In my video I use Small Animal Playpen (Large size).Brand : All living Things, available in Petsmart for $41
2. Choose a specific area for them to go potty (this method was designed for indoor potty training for small to medium dogs, for bigger dog I recommend using outdoor potty training).
Pick a LOW traffic area, like: the corner of a room, in a spare room,etc. Remember, this area will be pretty PERMANENT ! Your dog will always go to that same area, so choose the area very carefully and calculate the pros and cons in choosing it (kitchen is not optimal).
3.Treats (cut them in small pieces)
Now use the playpen/ panels gate to make a Potty room. Put 2 - 4 potty pads on one side, and bed+water+ food+ toys on the opposite side of potty pads. (Don’t forget to put the OPENING of your gate on the BED’s side, NOT on the potty pad side, this is to avoid any MESS. Because your dog will come and greet you at the opening, and we don’t want it to step on it’s urine or poop).
As soon as your new dog come home (I’ll use male dog for this example), Potty training starts RIGHT AWAY.
- Put him inside the potty room right away, leave him in there for 1 hour or more to settle down or even sleep. Your new dog most likely will do 1 pee / poop on the potty pads inside the potty room, give praise & Treat asap.
Then now you can let him out to roam the house for 1 hour (and NOPE !! your new dog IS NOT potty trained yet. But he already started to learn)
- Then ask your dog to “go potty again after 1 hour, WALK him to the potty room, enclosed gate, and tell him to “go potty”.
If he doesn’t go, leave him in there for extra 1/2 hour to 45 min or until it goes potty. If he falls a sleep, then just let him rest for a while. Once he wakes up, ask again to “go potty” (dog usually go potty approx. 5 to 20 min after nap)
- Write down your dog potty times. You will notice how often your dog go potty, some dogs go every 1 hour some 1.5
- Now watch your dog’s potty / poop routines for 1 day . How soon after meal does he go potty, how soon after nap, how often he goes to the bathroom to pee or poop in a day, etc. This sounds complicated, but it is pretty SIMPLE !
- WRITE THEM DOWN as a POTTY SCHEDULE (this is for you so you don’t forget them the next days)
-Because he can’t go in the potty room on their own YET, at the beginning you have to ask your him to go potty according to his potty schedule.
- Ask him to go in the gated area and close the gate.
- When he did go potty give PRAISE and TREAT everytime, then you can let him out.
- Repeat the word “go potty” several times if he refuse to pee/ poop, then leave him alone in the potty room.
- Come back to check on him, don’t stare. Do not yell / hit, this is not a punishment room !
-Repeat steps according to potty schedule and eventually he will go in and out without being asked (& on demands)
He’ll always have that gate in their mind & he will not go elsewhere.
-Once he can go in and out by them self, you can remove the gate (approx 3 mo)
I let my dogs sleep in the crate at night until he/ she is 100% potty trained.
Remember my method will work for sure, but it can NOT be compromised !
If the new owners are NOT as committed (forget to open the door to let them in / out, don’t have the time to train etc) some dogs will NEVER be potty trained forever. It’s NOT because they can not do it nor because they are bad pups, but because they don’t get enough help and they become very confuse of what they should do.
It’s never just the dog’s fault ! You have to be responsible dog owners and commit 100% to HELP your dog learn this important skill.
I wish you and your pup the best !

There are a lot of different commands you can teach your dog. Some are useful, like “stay”, and some are potentially life saving, like “come”. There are other commands that aren’t as important, but are very convenient. My favorite is to teach my dog to pee when I ask him to.

Why would I want to do that? I used to compete in obedience and agility competitions, and if my dog urinated in the ring, we were heavily penalized. I taught my dog to urinate on command, and before we went in the competition ring, I’d take him for a walk, ask him to pee, and I’d be confident he’d not cost us points by doing it at the wrong time.

There are some other times it is useful. For example, late at night, when you’re tired, the last thing you want to do is wait for your dog to eventually empty his bladder. If he can pee on command, you’ll be back inside and in your bed very quickly.

You may be visiting your vet, and they may want a urine sample. No problems, take your dog outside, ask him to pee, and come back in with a freshly voided sample for testing. It really is a useful behavior for your dog to learn.

While your dog may not always pee immediately on command, he’ll go to the toilet quicker than if he hadn’t been trained.

You can train your dog to urinate when you ask him to at the same time as you are toilet training him. It’s easier for him to learn at the same time as he learns where his toileting area is when you’re potty training a puppy. However, older dogs are just as capable of learning this command.

Take your dog outside to his toileting area, and as he urinates, give him whatever command you’ve chosen - it could be “toilet” or “pee” or even “tinkle”. It doesn’t matter, as long as you’re consistent, and use the same command every time.

When he urinates, give him lots of praise and cuddles. That way, while he’s learning where he’s allowed to pee, he’s also associating it with your command.

You’ll need to give him this command every time he urinates, and reward him when he gets it right. This means you’ll have to do it while you’re out walking, or at the beach. You may get some odd looks from other people, but don’t let a chance go by to reinforce what your command means.

Unlike “sit” or “drop”, which are very quick to teach using food, training your dog to urinate on command is a slow process. It takes time, repetition and lots of patience, and in some cases, dogs don’t ever “get it”. Dogs are clever though, and in most cases, they eventually learn. When your dog does figure it out. providing he has something in his bladder, he’ll be very willing to do as you ask. Taking him to the toilet last thing at night will be so much more convenient.
