Use hanging bells on your door and ring them each time you take them outside. My puppy got potty trained in no time with this method and now rings the bells herself whenever she needs to go out

Between our private trainer and your videos our 6 month Standard Poodle is absolutely 100% on point with potty training. She hasn't had an accident since she was 2.5 months old, and only had a handful the entire time we have had her. Thanks so much for the videos Rachel, keep up the amazing work.

Thank YOU for putting in the work & time. You have one lucky pup!

I’m so overwhelmed with all this information haha! I feel like there’s so much I should be doing and I don’t know where to start. I have a 9 month old poochon and he is potty trained and knows how to sit, stay, and lay down. Although he’s potty trained he occasionally has some accidents and it drives me craaazy! I’m also trying to keep him more busy considering we live in an apartment and he is bored most of the time. I want to include more mental stimulation into his routine as well as more training but it’s so hard! I try to keep him busy but he gets bored pretty quickly and just lays down and looks at me like I’m crazy 😂 I’m a senior in high school and I’m the only one in my family that takes care of him to this extent. I’m currently trying to teach him to to “touch” “place” and I’m still leash training him. I’ve binge watched most of your videos, but I’m sooo overwhelmed haha!

Thank you so much ! I have a dachshund that is 1 yr and is still not pottied trained 😫😬 I was wondering if I should go back to what I did with her as a puppy 🐶 like putting her in a playpen and bringing her outside with a leash to go potty, Is that a good idea or no ?

Found out for Christmas that we are getting a dog in about 6 weeks could you do a puppy essentials that you need for the start of the puppy’s life or do a first week tips?

Love your videos! What do you recommend when our puppy isn't fully vaccinated, so outside potty is unsafe. Thanks!

Hi! I'm new to your channel but excited I found you. I have recently adopted a 1 1/2 yr old female bolognese. She is adorable but has not been house broken.

What advise would you give me. I also work full time. I want her to have a good life and freedom in the house hopefully in the future. Desperate for help. Thank you !

Remember to get that solution in the red container that has the enzyme in it to really eliminate that pee smell to them. Normal cleaners don't eliminate pee and they will keep being tempted to go there. I used all of her tips and my dog is 2 years old now and she rings a bell to go pee. It's definitely tiring to get up and keep carrying them out of the crate in the middle of the night but it is so worth it. Good luck 👍 💓

Thanks Rachel! I've watched all of your videos that are SO helpful. My question is how do you potty train when you don't have a yard. I have a city apartment, so my only option is walking down a hallway, two flights of stairs and stand on the steer/by a little tree panting square. And when I take her outside she is distracted and confused by all of the pedestrians and just holds her pee or poop until she comes back inside. I tried staying outside with her for longer chunks of time but she just lays down and people watch. I'm trying potty pads but she just wonders off it and waits till we're playing or something on my carpet and just squats in the middle. I've caught her every time, quickly carry her to the potty pad but she is always done by the time we get there. HELP!

I am getting a 8 wk old caviler King Charles spaniel. How often do u think I should take her out?

Is there ANY advice you have for training deaf pups??

Hi Rachel do you think its counter productive to still have potty pads in the house during timed potty times? He's 4 months old been doing great however we still have accidents here and there and Im thinking maybe because I still lay out the pads justtt in case.

Our breeder had a cute note in their info package: “if the puppy has an accident in the house, take some newspaper, roll it up, and hit YOURSELF on the head, because you didn’t give the puppy the chance to fully go potty or poop.”

Hi Rachel, I’ve had my Havanese puppy who’s 8 weeks for a week now. I’ve been trying to get him to adjust to us for the week. We have been having him go on pee pads in his pen in the house. I probably haven’t been doing this right but should I now be taking him outside to try to go on the grass? I have taken him outside but he does nothing at all. I do know his signals when he’s inside but to take him outside is sort of a long way to the grass area. Help please.

Huge question! We recently got a second puppy. She has become slightly aggressive to my other puppy. Every time they play she is biting. We are not sure how to curb this as she doesn't bite us. Please help! Thank you!

Rachel, our rescued puppy has learned to ring the bell to go potty. However, I regret it because when it recently snowed here in New Jersey, he would not go potty with the snow. Frankly i didn't want him out there in the cold either. I wish i would have trained him to ring the bell but the door to the garage, and for him to potty on training pads. BUt my question for you is, can he be "Re-Trained" to go potty on the pads??? or is it too late at this point ?? He goes outside, and he has NOT had accidents inside....but he refuses to potty elsewhere other than the backyard. Please advise.

I actually disagree. I understand setting an alarm during the day but not at night. My oldest when we brought him home slept through the whole night without waking up to pee. With our youngest we didn’t set an alarm but let her tell us she needed to go out with whining. She only whined once a night at 3 am. Then it became 5 am until we normally get up. By the time she was 10 weeks old she was sleeping throughout the night.

I take my 5 month old puppy out probably 12 times a day. I'm always running her out. She starts sniffing or circling, and I take her out. She never barks when she needs to go. I've had a bell system for a month and she's never hit it herself when she needs to go. I feed her on a strict schedule, and sometimes she poops 4 -5 hrs after I feed her. I reward her when she goes potty and praise her before she's done. Sometimes I'm outside for 45 min at a time. Today we were out for two hours while I tried to get stuff done waiting on her. Came back inside and she peed on the floor. I watch her like a hawk. It's always the second I'm stirring the food or when I go the bathroom and then she goes on the floor. This happens about 4 times a week. Wish it were only pee! She's crate trained, and I try to tether her inside. I don't scold her and I try to rush her out if she starts going but usually by the time I reach her she's done. Seriously taking four hours a day in my yard trying to get her to go potty, and so many more hours where I can't concentrate on much else because I'm being observant of her behavior. Months of this, and I'm exhausted. So discouraged by the idea that every accident is adding to the idea that she should go to the bathroom in the house. :( The trainer says she's smart and a fast learner. Ay ay ay! I hope someday this works out!

Just from personal experience, depends on how much you would want to pay out of pocket overall and each month. Unfortunately vet bills are so expensive for for example, one of my dogs needed to stay overnight and this was minimum $1300 without anything else. Before we knew it, we had racked up a bill for $6000. Currently my puppy has $10,000 coverage but we’re also in Southern California and everything is more expensive here 😅

Yikes. I didn't get up this often with my children. I'm struggling to understand how anyone could possibly maintain this regimen. Seems like this would decidedly turn most people into non-dog people. Pretty much has done that for me.

12 videos on potty training and NONE of them address what a person could do if the dog has to go potty in a area that has EVERY possible distraction. I can't control that outside has birds chirping and cawing, neighbor dogs barking, wind blowing, rains storming, soaked ground, cars, tricks, semi's trains, etc going by, and more. What am I supposed to do then?! Bc going out frequently doesn't mean a thing if each time my dog goes out it's too scared, anxious, or distracted to go!!

Hi there! I know it seems daunting and difficult, especially with kids in the mix. Puppies take a LOT of work and dedication. The more time and energy you can put in to train them when they are a pup, the happier everyone will be when they are a grown up dog. Although the time and energy won’t stop once they are grown, pups/dogs are a full time commitment, but training them often and early make things easier for the whole fam. You’ve got this!
