Potty training is critical for your puppy's happiness — and yours! With structure, patience, and the “Potty for Life” approach, you’ll get there in 3–4 short weeks.
Consistent Schedule
- Go out first thing in the morning, after meals/drinks, naps, before bed, and once at night
- Every 2.5 hours—plus 30 minutes post-eating
- Limiting water intake can be very beatifical for the first few weeks of potty training.
Potty for Life Method
- Designate a spot in your yard with a small pen
- Always use the same door and spot
- Avoid play until they finish—make it all business!
