Dog Potty Training
One of the most important first steps in raising your puppy is potty training. Getting your dog on a routine of when and where to relieve themselves will do wonders for you and your young pup’s well-being. Plus, it can help save your floors and furniture from all sorts of trouble. Don’t wait to get the suitable dog potty training devices to help you and your pup succeed.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Typically, if your dog is old enough to join the family, they are old enough to start the housebreaking training. Between the ages of 12 and 16 weeks is the ideal time to start potty training your puppy. At that point, they will have enough control over their bladder and bowel movements and will be able to learn to hold it. You don’t want your young dog getting used to going to the bathroom in the wrong places, like in the middle of the kitchen or in the living room corner.
-
Aside from using any number of potty-training aids for dogs that Petco carries, developing a consistent routine where you take your puppy out every few hours is key. Take them on a leash to the same exact spot outside, and even if they don’t do anything, it’s good for them to get used to going to the same spot over and over.
-
The house-training process is a patience-testing and time-consuming process. There is no set timetable for when your puppy will be fully potty trained, but it typically takes a puppy between 4 to 6 months. However, the size of your dog can be a predictor. Smaller dogs have smaller bladders and faster metabolisms, so they often require more trips outside, but it’s the opposite with larger dogs. And puppy potty training aids can be beneficial when you start the training process to help make it quicker and easier.
-
Your puppy should be taken outside as many times as they need to go out. A good rule to follow if your pup is under 6 weeks old is to take them out every 30-45 minutes. And at least every 2 hours. Those intervals increase as your puppy continues to grow. They also should be taken out to their designated potty spot anytime they come out of their crate, wake up from a nap, eat or after a long play session. Remember to take notice of the signs—sniffing, turning around in circles, standing in a corner—that your new pet needs to go.

I have a duatshond mix and I use grass saver to help the grass out. Are they healthy for my dog. Dog 4.
i have grass in my back yard is their any thing i can put on the grass or any thing i can give my cats to cut down the acidity in the cats urine so the grass doesn't die
Is there a way to reduce or stop burn spots in the grass in my yard? I asked this before and i was recommended dog rocks. But Dog Rocks did nothing. Ive also used alot of other products and none of those have helped either. Right now my yard is slowly dying. My dogs are burning all the grass up and it dies then it gets trampled and turns to mud. I cannot place things like stones in my yard because I rent my place and my landlord doesnt want that in the yard. However I am at a loss.
How do i get my dog to use a grass pad. We live in an apartment and its not easy to go outside but she pottys all over the floor. Ive tried training and a spray but they dont help
What is a safe hair gel for my dog
Here is the grass seed we used on our back yard the other day i was just wandering how long should we wait to let her back in the yard, when will it be safe so she doesn’t eat it or roll around and get in her fur and cause problems for her, it was untreated grass seed I checked the bag but it didn’t give me a time frame I would love any suggestions on how long to wait so she won’t be hurt by it
I’m getting a golden retriever puppy and already have an older dog (Bischon) who is 5yrs old. Currently we have a portable fake grass potty. Can they share one or is it better to have one each? we live in a townhouse with no yard! The puppy will be about 8 weeks old.
My dogs urine has caused a LOT of yellow stains in our grass. They have these urine nutrulizors that come in pills or biscuits to prevent their urine from staining grass. Are these safe??? My dog is 1 1/2 year old blue Weimaraner on no other medicine.
my puppy keeps eating the fake grass (plastic) and its almost impossible to control because the entire area is fake grass. what can i do ? i tried yelling at her , she wouldnt listen , she is 4 months now
Is this particular supplement a benefit for dogs who like to occasionally eat grass? I don’t believe In overduing suppplements but this appears to contain concentrated sources of greens and chlorophyll. Is that something that may help fulfill my dogs need to comsume grass?
Can dogs eat "Kitty Grass" and a bit of dried catnip?
Our puppy is 11 mnths and is trained to ring a bell and go outside to do her business. She will be staying with my Mom when we are on vacation, and she lives in a 2nd floor apartment. My question is, would it be okay to put the bell on the door to the balcony, then put a “grass” pee pad out there for her to use? We leave in 2 days.
