This is an unrelated question... but do you know of any bully stick brands that are safe? I’m thinking of giving my puppy a bully stick for the first time and I want to know your opinion!
Pawsome tips! I would just add to incrementally increase the overnight times. What I mean is if you’re taking your puppy out every 4 hours overnight, then if that’s going well, increase it to 4 hours 15 minutes, then 4-1/2 hours & so on till your puppy is sleeping longer. Every puppy is different, of course, but my 15-week-old puppy sleeps up to 9 hours a night with no accidents or whining.
I followed you method when potty training my puppy and now she is great about it!! Thank you so much your made the process much less daunting to a new puppy mom.
I have been working my way through your videos to prepare for our puppy (who came home today!) and I have to say, this potty training advice is GOLD. It’s now 10pm on day 1 and our 8 week old puppy hasn’t had a single accident in the house *all day*! It took her a couple tries for her to figure out what we wanted her to do on that patch of grass, but once she figured it out & we praised her, she now does her business every hour when we take her out. Thank you so much for helping us get her off to a great start. Also loved your “crate is Disneyland” advice & have been working on that today too. Absolutely love your videos!! Thank you!
Thank You! Coming from the punish your dog for accidents inside, 20 years ago. I now have my first lab in 10 years. I am older and more responsible now, (why your dog is taking so long to potty train) and have realized that is ridiculous. We got our lab yesterday, Piper, she is 6 weeks old. Thought we had to wait another week but... anyhow, she has a nice playpen and will have crate tomorrow. What you have taught us in the last 24 hours has already came to fruition. Wife brought Piper to sisters house. While there, she actually cried by the door to go out. This is about 30 hours of having a schedule and rewarding and working with her. Having a feeding schedule and knowing when she has to go is the big deal. Don't ever yell at your dog, bad things will happen..
I watched one of your videos about potty training before I got my puppy, and it's been much better than expected! It's been two weeks and we are still taking him out every half hour. The ~5 accidents were my fault thinking that "it feels too soon." Also learned if he was playing or chewing and is suddenly distracted to sniff, he needs to go. He's almost 10 weeks and waiting at the door. Not quite using the doorbell, but we'll get there!
Thanks for the helpful video. My puppy is 11.5 weeks and being delivered at 9:30 tonight. I plan to keep his crate in the living room and i was going to crash on the couch so i could get up with him overnight. Will use your tips and see how quickly i can graduate back to my bed overnight.
My children both have been diagnosed with cancer. My daughter has since finished treatment and is doing well. My son has leukemia and was nearing the end of treatment but unfortunately has relapsed. I have struggled with PTSD and have been working with several professionals and ultimately decided to get a service puppy. Our puppy is a golden doodle and we will be bringing her home in the next week.9 weeks. The hospital staff is aware of her service dog in training status and is excited for us to bring her. In your opinion is it confusing to use both puppy potty pads while in the hospital for treatments as well as lots of outside potty time? I realize as a puppy she can’t always hold her bladder but also realize there are just some times where taking her outside isn’t always possible. Thank you for your time and can’t wait to keep learning all the best tips you graciously continue to share.
I’ve been binge watching all of your puppy training videos and will start implementing your helpful tips ASAP on my 9 week old Jack Russell Terrier. I’ve had him since he was 6 weeks old and it’s been pretty chaotic, he’s a smart sweet puppy we’ll start from scratch I’m positive we can get better with your helpful tips. Thank you
I have a 15 week old McNab Shepherd named Otto Bear. He is super smart and already knows a bunch of tricks and he is getting better with this potty training and I love him so much!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been binge watching your videos and they are so helpful! My family is adopting a golden doodle and we’re bringing him home on Halloween (he’ll be around 9 weeks). We have a cat, so the first video I watched of yours was about introducing a puppy to a cat! :) thanks for the tips!
you probably won't see this but i've been preparing for my puppy for a month and a half and i've watched every one of your videos on puppies to the point where i just keep looking up the same questions to make sure i know stuff and i click straight at you and just rewatch your videos
Just got my 12wk Schnauzer pup today. Its been 2yrs since i had to put my Dobie to sleep. I finally got up the strength to pour my love into another fur baby. I learned alot training my dobie but never trained him on a puppy pad. This is definitely a change since the new pup will be an indoor dog but I'm up for this adventure. I love your videos and can't wait for the results. ❤❤❤
I will be picking up my Morkie soon, at 8 weeks. The breeder litter box trains the puppies before he sends them home. As a senior, I really am going to appreciate this!
My toy poodle will be 2 months old when I get him in the dead of winter with snow in January. I can't imagine taking him outside in freezing temps. I'm thinking of potty pad training him and then when it's warm enough outside, retrain to go outdoors. Your videos are so helpful !!
My Papillon puppy is almost 4 weeks old! Need be patient for another 4 weeks, before getting him... My greatest problem potty training will be my mothers (by that time) 18 week old Papillon puppy, we share a yard and he is almost always in the yard, so convincing my puppy to go potty instead of playing with each other will be hard!
Getting an 8 week old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in 2-1/2 months. Scared and excited, this will be our first dog. We're retired and have thoroughly researched the breed which seems like an excellent fit for our lifestyle. I'm binging your videos in preparation.
On Tuesday my parents told me I could get a puppy for my birthday!!!!(yay) And my birthday is tomorrow so when I get my puppy I know how to potty train it!
I just got a 7 week old miniature schnauzer. Working with potty pads for now because she is so young. Enjoy your videos. Just trying to do things right. It’s night she didn’t sleep well as I expected
Thank you so much! I am getting my puppy in July and I am so excited! I have been on a spree just watching all of your puppy videos! They have helped me so much, without you I would be so lost in what to train them how to train them ect. But thanks to you this process had been so amazing!
My wife and I recently adopted two 9wk old female Rottweiler pups on 12/11/20 one is gift to my in laws who have raised Rottweiler for years and the other is a gift to my wife from me and boy our potty training journey has be tough but it’s not without it’s rewards. We’ve been following your advice and we’re both correcting all our wrong doings but I know it’s still early to celebrate and we have a long ways to go but we’re not going to quit thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
MCU but i have online class😐 im afraid i cant take care of him but it csn play with my lil sis she. Is 7 so its fine but my mom dint believe me i can potty train a dog
My puppy will be 8 weeks old when I get her in 5 weeks. Not my first Yorkie, have owned them for over 47yrs. I have used many of your techniques for potty training and they work! I have never crate trained before and want to this time so I have been watching your videos on that. I really enjoy them and think you do a great job at teaching people to train their dogs. And I have switched my big dog to raw foods. I will be giving my puppy raw foods also. So glad I found your videos! Thank you!!!
Rachel, thank you so much for these tips--we are struggling! We have a 4.5 mo. old pup who is making it through the night and will alert us when she has to go #2 outside, but is continuously having accidents with #1. One of my major questions is for condo building living, for the sake of potty training and consistency should we stick with ONLY either taking her out on the balcony OR taking her downstairs outside every time, or can we still alternate between the two? I want to do what is best for her, but can definitely relate to not being able to take her all the way downstairs every hour or so.
We’ll be getting a 9 1/2 week puppy the fourth week of July! I’m trying to soak in everything and love your product recommendations as well. Thank you Rachel!
Rachel Fusaro I’m making my way thru all your vids, and thank you for highlighting this! BTW - I have to tell you I went to Trader Joe’s to buy the Artichoke Jalapeño dip after you showed it in your vid a couple wks back 😂 It’s sooo good! I try to eat it with 🥦 to keep it clean but the tortilla chips keep callin’ 🤦🏻♀️
Currently getting an 8 week puppy. Seeking a video on how you introduced your cat to the puppy. We are going to introducing a puppy to 3 adult cats :/ Only 1 has been around a dog so this will be new for the others.
my puppy will be 13 weeks when I get her on 7th August and I really don't know how much her previous parents have done for her thus far...it's nerve wracking but I'm excited :)
I just started crying because I’m so stressed. I’ve been taking my puppy out every hour and rewarding him, but he still goes inside. No one else is helping me and I’m just so tired! 😭💔
Hi @RachelFusaro, I love your videos, they are so motivating….and just adopted a puppy and I can say we have survived the 1st 48 hours. And the puppy “joy”(which we named him) is just 9 weeks old…
what about when I take her outside proactively like this and sometimes she just lays there the entire time and then goes to the bathroom when we're back in. She's only 8 weeks old
This is exactly the issue I'm struggling with. My puppy refuses to go when outside. Even when we're out for an hour he won't do anything but as soon as we're inside he'll pee 3 times in 5 minutes.
LOVE your videos! My puppy is 8 weeks and I live in an upstairs apartment so I've been training him on a pee pad in the bathroom. Today is his second day with me and he has already gone 5 times on his own by using positive reinforcement. I'm super happy and proud. However, I do have an outside small patio space which is where I'm thinking I should move his potty pad to, just so when I do live somewhere else thats more accessible to the outdoors, he is used to going outside. My question is: am I able to keep the one in the bathroom and also have him go outside ? or should I keep it to one place to not confuse him. He goes a lot, especially number 2, and he's had diarrhea so I'm afraid if the pad isn't close enough to the room he will continue to poop on the ground.
This is the 3rd video of yours I've watched ... getting my 10 week Cavy on Saturday! Wish I'd known this 20 yr ago with my 1st! He did awesome given my lack! Thank you!
I'm getting an 8 week old mini doxie next month. This is literally my 5th dog. My current dog is a rescue and she was potty trained when I got her - thankfully. I have such a hard time with potty training and I live in a tiny upstairs apartment.
I'm getting my puppy next week (january) and he'll be 9 weeks. I'm gonna use this method and try to remember to come back to update this on how it's worked. I'm planning on taking him outside every 2 to 3 hours because he is already 9 weeks and at night I'll try to make it 4 hours. Update: He slept through the night for the first time yesterday!! He also hasn't had an accident in 3 weeks. We're just letting him outside, whenever he sits in front of the door and in general he prefers spending time in the garden anyway. So I'd say the method worked pretty well, we just give him the treat afterwards and not in between because he stops peeing if he's interrupted. Now we just have to make it work with the cats ;)
@@bibibosselange6951 Hi, sorry I didn't get around to updating. It went really well. He hasn't had any accidents in about 3 weeks now and slept through the night for the first time yesterday. He understood very quickly that it was good to go outside to potty, but we gave him the treat afterwards, because he stopped peeing if we interrupted him. It's really just taking them outside a lot even if they've had an accident.
Hey! Rachel I have a question I live near Atlanta and can't find any puppies :( do you have any idea where to look for them at? (btw your videos are super helpful!)
If you want a certain breed you should check out different breeders which are usually not always close so you would either have to go pick up the puppy or ask the breeder about the method of transportation. But it is also as great as checking out a shelter so you could adopt an animal which will bring more space for another animal to be saved. Good luck finding your new family member!
I'm adopting a 4 year old pit mix from my local shelter on Sunday. She was given up due to house training issues as well as crying in her crate so I'm taking all my notes early!
Thank you for your videos, they are such a help since it's been awhile since I've had a puppy around. My daughter got a puppy and I have been helping train and care for her while she is at work. Your delivery and personality accompanied by such concentrated information has made a huge difference! I have two older German shepherds and the male is not accepting her into our pack. I appreciate you and I want to thank you again for taking the time to make these helpful videos. Be safe, be happy.
My puppy will be 10 weeks old when we get him. He is a Pomchi X and such a sweet little boy. Your videos are so inspirational, and I really appreciate you for helping me be a better dog Mom
I’d stand up and walk away, or turn my body. I have had a foster puppy that did that. I’d just remove myself immediately and when he had all 4 paws on ground I rewarded with treats, play & praise
Rachel, you are the female dog whisperer! I tried hack #2 on my 10-week old puppy, praising her while urinating midstream on the potty pad and she now goes on the pad and when I see her sniffing around, I take her outside, and now she goes potty in the backyard! Thank you so much for sharing this incredible information!
5 month old mini labradoodle Me and my daughters first personally owned dog! Super nervous they’ve been around dogs all there life from the grandparents but I have not. Though all my friends have had dogs. I LOVE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS!!
We just got a beautiful American Bully. She is hard work but worth it! 8 weeks and 3 days old 😊 She is already sleeping in the crate and doing really well in her potty training. Thanks for the video! Interesting concept on the rewarding while they're indisposed, we have been getting success the old fashioned way but I am always interested to hear new techniques as no two dogs are the same!
I just got a puppy that is about 4 months old. She was in a 'failed" crate training situation. I am trying to get her trained asap so we are all happier here. This is just day one and she is a great puppy. German Sheppard mix.
I got a husky puppy, she was born on the last week of February (so she's 2 months and 11 weeks), she came from a house where she was not crate trained, I've been watching all your videos and hopefully in about a week or so she will get used to it. We live in a condo and it's hard to get downstairs with her every hour or so so hopefully the training pad will do! :) Thank you so much for your channel! So informative!
We have a male Havapoo and he enjoys his treats!! We’re trying to use clicker training with him but sometimes he’s so engrossed with what he’s doing outside he doesn’t even notice when we click it while going potty. We try to use lots of praise and affection as well as his favorite toys as alternatives to treats.
This video has been a big help to us! We have a 13 week old poodle, and have had her for about 2 weeks. She caught onto the concept of going outside pretty quick, but we've had some regression recently. That first week, we barely had any indoor accidents, and now recently it's up to at least one a day. I feel like we aren't doing anything different, but we've decreased the amount of time between potty trips, and that seems to be helping. Still having accidents, though. Thankfully she has never gone in her crate or at night, so glad for that. We've started keeping her on the leash all the time when she's not crated so it's easy to get her outside quickly. Hoping we get back on track soon.
Getting our french bulldog puppy in four weeks…trying to learn as much before hand and get ready. Great advice from you , very reassuring… Paula. In the UK
We had to litter train puppies because we had 5, they did great. We now have one puppy left , he's 10 weeks old and we take him outside , he then comes in and pees on the floor. We thought it was because of mommy bothering him to wrestle while he was out there. We are taking him for a meet and greet on saturday, i would love to give them tips also.
This is the exact advice I found on reddit before I got my puppy! It has worked WONDERS for us. I would say my pup picked up potty training in about two weeks by using this "proactive method." I feel bad for people that get puppies during the winter though...can't imagine going outside every hour, sometimes multiple times an hour, in order to potty train!
I could cry I am so happy I found this video a week before we get our little chocolate cocker spaniel who is 8weeks old!!!! Thank you so so much Rachel you are a blessing!!!
Our Minii Aussie Doodle is 8 weeks old yesterday. First puppy and trying hard to do it right. He gets his first shots in 2 days so have limited his outside area around our apartment. Appreciate your kennel video and this one. We have had him for 3 days and will try your techniques the next few days. Thank you. As many experience though....this is way harder when both adults work.
I'm looking for a dog now and if I adopt a puppy your videos will have me ready. It's been over fifteeen years since I potty trained a puppy but those cold trips outside in the dark are still fresh in my mind. Gotta do what is necessary for successful potty training!
He/she will be 8 weeks. Multi gen goldendoodle! I am very excited. I decided to get them when I have 2 months off in the summer to train! Your videos are so helpful and educational! Thank you!
So thankful for you!

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR VIDS MAKES ME SMILE
u have a youtube channel
Yesssss thank you! I'm only 3 days in but I know this is working because I've had zero accidents with a 7 week old toy aussie. Great tips!
How!! We have a 7 weeks too, second day and so many accidents! When I bring her out she just gets flat and sleeps... or want to look around.
@@francesdebes stay outside and keep them up until they go

Hows it going now?
Did it get better? What kind of dog is it? Small or big breed?
Going through this now
Hi @RachelFusaro, I love your videos, they are so motivating….and just adopted a puppy and I can say we have survived the 1st 48 hours. And the puppy “joy”(which we named him) is just 9 weeks old…
what about when I take her outside proactively like this and sometimes she just lays there the entire time and then goes to the bathroom when we're back in. She's only 8 weeks old
I wonder the same thing!
Did you figure anything out? I’m currently struggling with the same thing, and definitely need some advice! 😅
@@luzmendoza9278 No! Wish I had seen a reply!
@@vickibowman3227 @Luz Mendoza Honestly don't have a solution other than sticking with it and praying they get the hang of it soon lol
This is exactly the issue I'm struggling with. My puppy refuses to go when outside. Even when we're out for an hour he won't do anything but as soon as we're inside he'll pee 3 times in 5 minutes.
My puppy is 89 weeks old i'm getting him on Sunday the 19th. He's a pure bread brown labrador :). Thanks for your tips!
LOVE your videos! My puppy is 8 weeks and I live in an upstairs apartment so I've been training him on a pee pad in the bathroom. Today is his second day with me and he has already gone 5 times on his own by using positive reinforcement. I'm super happy and proud. However, I do have an outside small patio space which is where I'm thinking I should move his potty pad to, just so when I do live somewhere else thats more accessible to the outdoors, he is used to going outside. My question is: am I able to keep the one in the bathroom and also have him go outside ? or should I keep it to one place to not confuse him. He goes a lot, especially number 2, and he's had diarrhea so I'm afraid if the pad isn't close enough to the room he will continue to poop on the ground.
This is the 3rd video of yours I've watched ... getting my 10 week Cavy on Saturday! Wish I'd known this 20 yr ago with my 1st! He did awesome given my lack! Thank you!
I'm getting my puppy the day after tomorrow and she's going to be 8 weeks old
How your pup is doing?
@@rugilecepkauskaite2569 she is doing great she is very playful and she loves to eat a lot and she is very loving
@Yael Martinez is she from shelter or she is from breeder?
@@rugilecepkauskaite2569 she's from a breeder
I'm getting an 8 week old mini doxie next month. This is literally my 5th dog. My current dog is a rescue and she was potty trained when I got her - thankfully. I have such a hard time with potty training and I live in a tiny upstairs apartment.
I'm getting my puppy next week (january) and he'll be 9 weeks. I'm gonna use this method and try to remember to come back to update this on how it's worked.
I'm planning on taking him outside every 2 to 3 hours because he is already 9 weeks and at night I'll try to make it 4 hours.
Update: He slept through the night for the first time yesterday!!
He also hasn't had an accident in 3 weeks. We're just letting him outside, whenever he sits in front of the door and in general he prefers spending time in the garden anyway.
So I'd say the method worked pretty well, we just give him the treat afterwards and not in between because he stops peeing if he's interrupted.
Now we just have to make it work with the cats ;)
Omg same I'm getting a mini bernadoodle this Saturday and I'm planning to take it out every 2-3 hours but he will be 8 weeks
@@aubreywidmayer8766 I'm actually getting a bernedoodle too, not a mini but still that's such a cool coincidence! Let me know how it goes for you.
How did your puppy potty training go??
@@bibibosselange6951 Hi, sorry I didn't get around to updating. It went really well. He hasn't had any accidents in about 3 weeks now and slept through the night for the first time yesterday. He understood very quickly that it was good to go outside to potty, but we gave him the treat afterwards, because he stopped peeing if we interrupted him. It's really just taking them outside a lot even if they've had an accident.
Our new little girl will be about 8 weeks when we get her. So we are watching lots of videos. We really like your videos, thanks!!!
I'm getting a dog soon and I'm binging these episodes!🤣🤣
Abi Duncan lol
Me too
My Staffordshire Terrier baby is 13 weeks old, and almost fully potty trained!
Hey! Rachel I have a question I live near Atlanta and can't find any puppies :( do you have any idea where to look for them at? (btw your videos are super helpful!)
If you want a certain breed you should check out different breeders which are usually not always close so you would either have to go pick up the puppy or ask the breeder about the method of transportation. But it is also as great as checking out a shelter so you could adopt an animal which will bring more space for another animal to be saved. Good luck finding your new family member!
Thank you! Look up rescue groups in your city. Example: “goldendoodle rescue Atlanta” and start there❤️
Unknown ? Thank you!
Rachel Fusaro Omg! I didn’t think you’d reply :D and thank you for the help!
I'm adopting a 4 year old pit mix from my local shelter on Sunday. She was given up due to house training issues as well as crying in her crate so I'm taking all my notes early!
I’m getting a puppy when their a couple months old like 3-6 months
Thank you for your videos, they are such a help since it's been awhile since I've had a puppy around. My daughter got a puppy and I have been helping train and care for her while she is at work. Your delivery and personality accompanied by such concentrated information has made a huge difference! I have two older German shepherds and the male is not accepting her into our pack. I appreciate you and I want to thank you again for taking the time to make these helpful videos. Be safe, be happy.
Wait this is going to be live?? If so i cant wait !😄
No?
@@cmirvine07 Umm yes it was live 3 hours ago i said this 10 hours ago...
My puppy will be 10 weeks old when we get him. He is a Pomchi X and such a sweet little boy. Your videos are so inspirational, and I really appreciate you for helping me be a better dog Mom
Hey Rachel - just adopted a new puppy! However, he’d rather hump our legs then play with toys. Any advice?
I’d stand up and walk away, or turn my body. I have had a foster puppy that did that. I’d just remove myself immediately and when he had all 4 paws on ground I rewarded with treats, play & praise
Rachel, you are the female dog whisperer! I tried hack #2 on my 10-week old puppy, praising her while urinating midstream on the potty pad and she now goes on the pad and when I see her sniffing around, I take her outside, and now she goes potty in the backyard! Thank you so much for sharing this incredible information!
Pls do a quarantine vlog with ur dogs 🌺
Like if u want a video like that ❤️
My puppy is gonna be 6 weeks old.im a little late to finding your channel but im really loving it☺☺
5 month old mini labradoodle
Me and my daughters first personally owned dog! Super nervous they’ve been around dogs all there life from the grandparents but I have not. Though all my friends have had dogs.
I LOVE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS!!
I will be getting our puppy July 15 and she will be 5 weeks old. I’m all about trining her as soon as I get her.
Nova is 9 weeks and she’s doing great with going potty outside
14 weeks! Excited! Thanks for the tips.
I am getting two Italian Greyhound pups (13 weeks) at the end of this month. Your videos are so helpful!!
My dog im adopting this week is 8 months.. I look forward to trying this with him :)
We just got a beautiful American Bully. She is hard work but worth it! 8 weeks and 3 days old 😊 She is already sleeping in the crate and doing really well in her potty training. Thanks for the video! Interesting concept on the rewarding while they're indisposed, we have been getting success the old fashioned way but I am always interested to hear new techniques as no two dogs are the same!
I just got a puppy that is about 4 months old. She was in a 'failed" crate training situation. I am trying to get her trained asap so we are all happier here. This is just day one and she is a great puppy. German Sheppard mix.
My new puppy is 8 weeks old today and working on potty training here in Texas and an unusually cold cold day.
I got a husky puppy, she was born on the last week of February (so she's 2 months and 11 weeks), she came from a house where she was not crate trained, I've been watching all your videos and hopefully in about a week or so she will get used to it. We live in a condo and it's hard to get downstairs with her every hour or so so hopefully the training pad will do! :)
Thank you so much for your channel! So informative!
Havapoo~12 weeks. Have been binge watching all your videos!!! Thank you so much~you're amazing!
I have a Havapoo also!
@@samanthakifer1119 Hi~ She's adorable and really smart but not food motivated. Are you having the same issue?
We have a male Havapoo and he enjoys his treats!! We’re trying to use clicker training with him but sometimes he’s so engrossed with what he’s doing outside he doesn’t even notice when we click it while going potty. We try to use lots of praise and affection as well as his favorite toys as alternatives to treats.
Our family is getting a black poodle puppy on the 19th June. Everyone is excited!
Best regards,

Jade I am so happy for you and your fam! I obviously love the curly hair dogs. You’re gonna do great!
Rachel Fusaro thank you x
I’m getting a puppy in 5 days and I can’t waittt
This video has been a big help to us! We have a 13 week old poodle, and have had her for about 2 weeks. She caught onto the concept of going outside pretty quick, but we've had some regression recently. That first week, we barely had any indoor accidents, and now recently it's up to at least one a day. I feel like we aren't doing anything different, but we've decreased the amount of time between potty trips, and that seems to be helping. Still having accidents, though. Thankfully she has never gone in her crate or at night, so glad for that. We've started keeping her on the leash all the time when she's not crated so it's easy to get her outside quickly. Hoping we get back on track soon.
8 weeks!!! So excited. A little anxious about potty training.
I've had dogs all my life and did not know any of this lol 😆 thank you. I'm getting a labradoodle and I'm so ready for a well trained fun dog 🐕
Getting our french bulldog puppy in four weeks…trying to learn as much before hand and get ready. Great advice from you , very reassuring… Paula. In the UK
Thank you for this - we are picking up a 9 week old puppy
My 8 weeks mini poodle coming home today 😊❤
I’m getting a golden doodle puppy soon! The next 1-6 months, I’m getting as much info as possible! Your a life saver..!
Preparing to get a puppy haven’t got him yet, your videos are very helpful
Picking up our 8 week old puppy this Saturday the 8th. Very informative video. Thanks
My dog is named rocky and he is 11 years old! And I might get a puppy after summer!!!! I’m so so so so so exited!
Almost 3 months. Thanks for your help
We had to litter train puppies because we had 5, they did great. We now have one puppy left , he's 10 weeks old and we take him outside , he then comes in and pees on the floor. We thought it was because of mommy bothering him to wrestle while he was out there. We are taking him for a meet and greet on saturday, i would love to give them tips also.
Picking up an 8 week old puppy today. I have actually never had a dog this young. Thank you for your videos and advice!!
This is the exact advice I found on reddit before I got my puppy! It has worked WONDERS for us. I would say my pup picked up potty training in about two weeks by using this "proactive method." I feel bad for people that get puppies during the winter though...can't imagine going outside every hour, sometimes multiple times an hour, in order to potty train!
getting our rescue puppy next week...8 weeks old approx. thanks for tips!
I could cry I am so happy I found this video a week before we get our little chocolate cocker spaniel who is 8weeks old!!!! Thank you so so much Rachel you are a blessing!!!
How is the training going just out of interest? :)
Our Minii Aussie Doodle is 8 weeks old yesterday. First puppy and trying hard to do it right. He gets his first shots in 2 days so have limited his outside area around our apartment. Appreciate your kennel video and this one. We have had him for 3 days and will try your techniques the next few days. Thank you. As many experience though....this is way harder when both adults work.
I'm looking for a dog now and if I adopt a puppy your videos will have me ready. It's been over fifteeen years since I potty trained a puppy but those cold trips outside in the dark are still fresh in my mind. Gotta do what is necessary for successful potty training!
My puppy is 4 weeks old at the moment. 4 more weeks and I get to bring her home!!!
Thank you for this video! Very helpful! My 12 week old mini golden retriever comes home today.
my new puppy is gonna be 8 and a half weeks old and im adopting him and researching on how to train him and this helps so much keep up the good work!
He/she will be 8 weeks. Multi gen goldendoodle! I am very excited. I decided to get them when I have 2 months off in the summer to train! Your videos are so helpful and educational! Thank you!
I just got a 10 week old chiweinee. Thanks for your help.
