My Golden was potty trained in three weeks , Never once had an accident . I took that dog outside every 20 to 30 minutes around the clock , When he went potty where I wanted outside he got a treat and tremendous praise ! Yes it was exhausting ! But worth it ! No other way around it at all , no secrets , Just repetition !!
@@sammushroomman4211 All good just be prepared to clean up shit when you wake up in the morning! Well worth the loss of sleep for us, A clean house and a well trained dog in a couple weeks ...Do as you will ! All the best
@@bringthesprite It was either that or deal with months and months of potty training issues. I'm too old for that lol, so I resigned myself that I was going to do it and do it right. And this was in the winter also. So I was having to go out in the middle of the night with -20° temperatures lol. It certainly wasn't easy but in the end it all worked out and within a month. Like I said I put that all behind me. He would go near the door and cry. I would let him out. He would do his thing and I would praise him, it's just something you have to do. If you want a dog it's part of it. It goes along with it. Sure I was tired, and my wife helped out also. She would also let the dog out at times. Puppies are not easy but it's over in a flash and then having a wonderful pet is so rewarding. I love my dog. He has three years old now and he is absolutely the best friend I have in this world. There was nothing I wouldn't do for him and nothing he wouldn't do for me. I'm absolutely in love with him
This probably felt like a no brainer video for Joel to make but man, SO HELPFUL for those of us who have never done this before. He is very straightforward and I love all his stuff.
Potty training is a keep to routine. Which some people find exhausting. For going out with their pup every 1-2h or after they've taken a sip of water. My 2 foster dogs i had was on leash at all times for the first 2 weeks (except during night). So if i saw one of them drink water. I went up and we went out, because they did some accidents inside directly after drinking water. It is mentally and physically draining. BUT i'd rather not be lazy about it so that you actually can relax and focus on teaching the dog things in the future instead of being stuck on potty training xD It's such an easy task to teach a dog/pup (in my eyes)
Joel... Been working on the potty trick with a peanut butter incentive on a recently adopted 6 mo and after 3 days I swear he's going on command. You rock the owners will be so happy I hope they continue it.
This is terrific. Thank you! We did the cue word “poopen” training with our previous Lab, and it worked like a champ. When he got older we still used the cue word every time he went, and we also walked around for at least 15 minutes afterwards. We learned if we didn’t do post-poopen walk around, he would be stubborn and delay doing his poopen (he liked being outside).
With my Greater Swiss, I just said “Potty/Poopy” and she would do both in under 60 seconds lol Dogs really are simple creatures, just time consuming. But always worth it
This is so important for people to see/hear/learn. I teach all my dogs go on command. If ppl follow your directions consistently, it's short term 'pain' for long term gain. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing all your invaluable knowledge. My 15 week old male Australian shepherd puppy has been asking to go outside since he was 10 weeks and has never had an accident in his crate and very few in the house. He puts himself to bed at 9:00pm and now sleeps until 6:am. If he wanted to go out sooner we would take him. He is very vocal when he wants to go as well as scratches at the door to our yard. Yesterday afternoon he peed in front of me in the house 3 times without making a sound. I take him out frequently during the day even if he does not need to go. He is on a houseline so i grabbed that and took him outside mid pee. This morning after he had just been out he started to pee right beside me. I am home all day and he is supervised by my husband or myself. There are always eyes on him. We also go outside with him on leash and he still gets treats when he goes. He is not allowed to freely roam the house unaccompanied. Any advice would be greatly appreciated - I would like get this fixed before it becomes a very bad habit. I don’t understand why now after 5 weeks of consistently taking him out immediately he just squats and pees. Thank you
This is exactly what i do now but, i wasn’t doing the treats and my puppies potty training is almost perfect. After seeing this im definitely adding the treats for positive reinforcement and im sure its going to perfect my puppies potty training 😊 thank you for this
Really useful information... I don't have a crate yet but will have a bed for her at my desk when while I'm working and I like the idea of the umbilical cord method when she's awake and I am moving around.
Great video! What do you do for an 11 week old husky/malamute/poodle mix who is whining in crate at night even after just going over and poo outside before being put into crate? Some say to ignore whining, some say to respond. Confused and sleep deprived here!
I just adopted a 7 month old puppy, She is a rescue dog. They found her inside a crate with other puppies covered in dog feces, underweight, and other health issues at the age of 3 months old. From 3 months to 7 months she was at the humane society recovering.
Thank you for your video’s. You have changed my outlook on how to train dogs. Love the gentle leader too. I haven’t seen the video yet but at what point do you subside from using the gentle leader? Is it once the dog is off leash trained? Again thank you.
Can you do a video about crate training- like when do we know they don’t need the crate anymore or should we keep it? My puppy is 10 months old and is crated when we leave the house. Thank you for your help.
Hey, I was curious to ask for some advice. Currently potty training my 8 month old dog. My routine is this. First thing in the morning, I take her out of her crate and go for a walk. If she doesn't use the bathroom, I come inside, feed her breakfast, play with her, then take her back outside. After that, I come back inside play with her for about 30 mins then put her back in her crate. I keep her in the crate for about 30-60 mins. after the crate session, I take her right back outside. After I walk, I then come inside to play for about 30 mins, and crate her again. I basically rinse and repeat this process for the whole day. It's day two and the training is going well. She's starting to pee outside consistently ... getting her to poop outside is another problem though lol. But it will come with persistence. Anyway, I guess I'm curious, do you think I'm using the crate too much? I notice that Beckman recommended to tether the dog to you. Would this be a better approach? There probably isn't one right answer. Btw, I'm not against crating. I just don't know if I'm doing it too much? Also, if you think there is a better way I can approach my routine, please, let me know!
I have a 8week English Staffy baby at home,since a week ago, and i am kinda shook, she holds all night there was only once pee on the pad in her pen area, and that was during first nights when she was still adjusting to the new home..i would say she is 80% potty trained because sometimes she gets too playful and forgets to run outside in the garden to pee, otherwise really happy with how its going, and ofcourse I make sure to make her go outside often even if she does not need to go,just in case, I did not use treats tho only praise but I guess i should reward her with some yummies for being such a cute good baby and doing stuff outside most of the time
@BDTraining I had to originally train my husky to go on potty pads because I would be at work 9-10 hours a day. She did very well with this, but transitioning her to go outside has been difficult as she still wants to go on the puppy pads and I can walk her for a hour or 2 with another dog who goes outside and she sniffs it but isn't interested in mimicking the behavior. As soon as we get home, she goes straight to the puppy pad. It has only been in the last few months that she will do her business at the dog park. I immediately praise her once she is done. I have a senior chihuahua also and I have to leave a puppy pad down for her. Any suggestions? My husky will go on my back patio and I just immediately clean it up. Not sure about trying to crate her now at 16 months as I live in an apartment and think that she would howl all day while I'm working and disturb my neighbors. I have tried taking the pads away but then she goes on the floor where the pads once were there. 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Thanks Joel. I had said the cue word at the wrong time the whole time. I’m afraid saying the cue word as my pup is doing it and he will stop (peeing or pooping) in the middle. Will try this from now on.
Does this mean you have to get up in the middle of the night to take the puppy outside every single night from like 2-4 months? This sounds exhausting…
I’ve done all this…for one puppy since February and the other puppy since April. Apparently my puppies are either “slow”, stubborn or both. My Sheltie caught on so fast but not these two.
Any update? Just brought home a 8 week old mini schnauzer and he cannot stand the crate. Cries to high Heaven when placed in a play pin or crate, despite going potty nearly every hour and being fed, played with, water access, good toys/treats in crate. Thanks!
I trained my puppy to use the yard... he was using the yard for like a week with the doggy door. Now he keeps pooping on my patio. I know he's trained because if I look at him through the Arcadia door when he's on the patio he'll run to the grass. But if I'm not looking at him or taking him out there he'll poop on my bricks. I'm getting really really really irritated. Everytime he goes in the yard he gets a treat. Everytime he goes on the patio I yell at him and put him back in the grass. I've had many dogs over the years and this is the first time I have ever dealt with this. I'm now looking at a sealant to put over the brick after everything is cleaned with soap. If it doesn't work I'm ready to give up and sell this pup and get a different one. I'm thinking he doesn't like the grass being wet.. cause he hated the bath I gave him.. and again I gave treats in the bath.
I just got a puppy who is already used to pee/poop in the grass... Problem is I live in an appartment and my vet told me the dog should not go outside to potty train until she has all her vaccines (I could still take him out on my arms or with a bagpack for socialization). The pup is 2 months old and 2 weeks and manages to pee every 4 hours already which is impressive but I'm literally lost on what to do.... Tried artificial grass on my terrace, not working, she ended up peeing in her crate twice while she loves the crate to rest & eat treats...I'm kind of lost, I put diaper in the terrace and say out loud "hey" when she is about to pee and lift her to the spot I want her to pee but then she stops and will just go back inside to go peeing... I can't imagine handling 3 weeks until her full vaccinations. The city I live is very (very very) dog friendly and according to the vet, that's the reason why my pup should not touch the floor outside.
There is something called the poochpatch or other names. It's a real patch of grass that you can keep indoors or on your balcony. You water it like regular grass and let it have sun. Pups love it :)
Hey i just got a two month old labradoodle and loving the videos! I was wondering what kind of treats are the best and what do you use in this video? Just plain chicken? Thanks !
With my 5 month old puppy she is doing very good at potty training as long as we remember to let her out consistently. But she has yet to tell us that she needs to go out. So if she hasn't been let out for a while she will go in the house. I got a doggy doorbell and we have her press it every time we take her out but she hasn't pressed it herself to let us know she wants to go out. How do you train the transition to having them tell you when they need to go?
good video - I have had a dog most my life - never been able to potty train a dog. As a result I only get adult dogs that are potty trained. I had one dog that would just squat to get a treat outside (but she didn't potty) she would take fives steps and squat over and over and over. She got fat but not potty trained.. Good info on how often.
Joel, thank you for your videos. I am binge watching them. How do you handle a 1.5 year old lab who is potty trained. But every once in a while when we are not watching him, he will pee on furniture. Very rare as we are always watching him now. But just happened today when I gave him some freedom. He knows its wrong. Help!! Thank you.
I have a 6 month old puppy that i got at 5 months. I sometimes do the attached to me with the leash thing but i also put a diaper on her because i have carpet and i realize that she'll be attached to me and we'll be watching tv, she went out an hour ago but she'll pee on the carpet. Is this a good or bad thing that i put diapers in her? I do still take her out every 4 to 5 hours and still after playing or eating.
My problem is that my puppy pees in moment i open the crate! Its so frustrating! And also she dont ask to go…and yes i go with her every hour…shes 11 weeks now
I just got a 15 month old Doberman who is in the last week of her heat. And she has been holding her poop in the last couple days I’ve had her. And I take her out after events but she just won’t go on a leash since her last home she had a doggie door and could go any time of day. I am trying to stay consistent but I think she’s feeling too vulnerable to poop and won’t even pee outside with me. She had an accident in our bed and her crate, just pee. I caught her last night peeing so I took her outside but nothing happened. It’s like she doesn’t know why we’re standing in one spot for 10 minutes so she can go. And I don’t want to keep saying potty until she actually goes potty. Please help!
HELP?🙏🏻🙏🏻 My dog absolutely WILL NOT enter her crate on her on will. She must have been abused and the crate used as punishment. I’ve had her a month now (rescue pitty 9 months old) and even with Ruth’s Chris mid rare steak she will not enter. 😳 I have to gently and lovingly put my hands under her and ease her in there every time and it’s breaking my heart. She looks so damn sad like “what do I do wrong? Why are you doing this to me.” That’s the look I get. She doesn’t yelp or whine or bark once in there she just looks depressed as hell. She has a nice bed, adequate room, (but not too big), chew toys, kongs, etc I’ve tried everything. Anyone, Please Help 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
What do you do when you take your puppy out to go potty. They either poop or pee or both. Then come back in and 15 minutes later they have an accident? Our puppy is 12 weeks old and just doesn’t seem to be getting the hang of it. We’re having to take her out at least every 15 minutes. We’ve had her two weeks and she still isn’t grasping it. Help!
HELP! My mother doesn't want my rescued puppies because they'll often go inside the house. How can I potty train 3 puppies at the same time? Can't take them outside at the same time because they'll go somewhere else but can't also take one individually after the other because while one is going outside the other will eventually go inside.
What do I do if I can't be home all day because of work? I work 8 hours a day and can't come home so I lock him in my room when at work because 8 hours is way to long to be locked in a crate. Of course I come home to accidents. But he doesn't have any when I'm home
I use the word “poop”. My dog gets stimulated by this word then poops if he is able. My dog is 5 months old and has not pooped in the house for 13 weeks and pee 6 weeks (he notified me I did not get him out quick enough).
Very nice. I have a 3 month old Doberman that knows the command and gets rewarded for going out, but still does it in the house. Granted we've only had her for a week but it can still be tiring sometimes.
a question.. what if i am at work and the dog is not in a dog kindergarden ? i guess it should not be in the crate.. but then what ? the whole day i am not at home
Does the dog not get it, that potty training means treats and might try to get outside because of that? I heard that the peeing pooing is selfrewarding enough?!
Any tips for people who have to go to work and cannot be with the puppy 24/7? I feel like most people cannot stay with their dog like this all the time. Especially with small dogs who have little bladders 😅
Any update? Looking for encouragement. My 8 week old puppy is a terror right now. Screams when inside the crate no matter what treats, toys, potties, etc. Need to know if it got better for you, how, and when. Thanks!
I'm still having crate training problems. My dog is about to be a year old and sometimes he refuses to hold it overnight. The last time I would take out him for the day is 9pm at night and he at times still refuses to hold his pee n poo..plz help. 😮💨
Hey man, I just got a bull terrier puppy. he is five and a half months old. I bought him from some breeders here in the Philippines, and he was never potty trained. He ALWAYS goes in the house. I take him out all the time, but he doesn't go potty. He always waits til he is back in the house. Any advice would really help. thank you
Am guessing you have resolved this by now. Most puppies need to eliminate 5 to 20 minutes after they eat, sleep, or play hard. Starting when you wake up, take him outside on leash to the spot you want him to go. You're just doing circles the length of the leash in that area. I tell my guys to get busy or find a spot. As soon as they do, praise just not too exuberantly because you don't want to interrupt them. Treats immediately after they eliminate and treats outside, none for coming in the house until the housetraining issue is resolved. Even if you want to take them for a walk afterwards, please take them inside even if it's just for 3 seconds. Then, want to go for a walk? That way potty training is a separate event. They s/be on a regular feeding schedule too. Whatever they don't eat within a half hour, gets taken up until the next feeding time. By putting them on a schedule, you then know when they should have to eliminate. So no free feeding or grazing all day long, especially if you are still having housetraining issues. Hope that helps.

Have been consuming dog training video after video and yours are outstanding! Clear, no nonsense approach to training! Thank you!
A lot of people say the same thing. I’m just trying to be as direct as I can and hopefully it helps people
Saving people so much money, we appreciate you Joel 👍😁💪
I binge watch your videos every night before bed like ASMR. You're an incredible dog trainer!!

This is so important for people to see/hear/learn. I teach all my dogs go on command. If ppl follow your directions consistently, it's short term 'pain' for long term gain.

It took about 1 minute to crate train our dog. She decided that was a good spot and she now puts herself to bed at night. ❤
Wish you where in the UK 🇬🇧 your methods certainly make sense and do work keep making the videos thank you 😊
By far the best in-depth video on Puppy Potty training!!👍👍👍

Nice, how do we teach them to signal?
I might just potty train our pup at the same time as our toddler cuz it's the right time 😁 should be fun
Thank you so much!! 😊
Hey i just got a two month old labradoodle and loving the videos! I was wondering what kind of treats are the best and what do you use in this video? Just plain chicken? Thanks !
2:10 Joel said a quarter of a hot dog every time dog goes potty.
How long they hold it at night? Getting a 9 week puppy in a few days. Will do the crate thingy, but worried they will soil themselves in the crate.
Thank you
Do u give the dog a treat after they just do a wee but not a poo or do u wait for them to do poos then give them a treat ???
With my 5 month old puppy she is doing very good at potty training as long as we remember to let her out consistently. But she has yet to tell us that she needs to go out. So if she hasn't been let out for a while she will go in the house. I got a doggy doorbell and we have her press it every time we take her out but she hasn't pressed it herself to let us know she wants to go out. How do you train the transition to having them tell you when they need to go?
Learn something new every video!!!
Thank you !!!
good video - I have had a dog most my life - never been able to potty train a dog. As a result I only get adult dogs that are potty trained. I had one dog that would just squat to get a treat outside (but she didn't potty) she would take fives steps and squat over and over and over. She got fat but not potty trained.. Good info on how often.
What brand/kind of treats do you recommend for an 8 week old puppy.
Full size poodle
Joel, thank you for your videos. I am binge watching them. How do you handle a 1.5 year old lab who is potty trained. But every once in a while when we are not watching him, he will pee on furniture. Very rare as we are always watching him now. But just happened today when I gave him some freedom. He knows its wrong. Help!! Thank you.
What do we do if they poop or potty in the crate?
I have a 6 month old puppy that i got at 5 months. I sometimes do the attached to me with the leash thing but i also put a diaper on her because i have carpet and i realize that she'll be attached to me and we'll be watching tv, she went out an hour ago but she'll pee on the carpet. Is this a good or bad thing that i put diapers in her? I do still take her out every 4 to 5 hours and still after playing or eating.
I'm about to go over to a lady's house who has two in potty trained golden retrievers. She's paying me $500! Thank u for the tips.
My problem is that my puppy pees in moment i open the crate! Its so frustrating! And also she dont ask to go…and yes i go with her every hour…shes 11 weeks now
I just got a 15 month old Doberman who is in the last week of her heat. And she has been holding her poop in the last couple days I’ve had her. And I take her out after events but she just won’t go on a leash since her last home she had a doggie door and could go any time of day.
I am trying to stay consistent but I think she’s feeling too vulnerable to poop and won’t even pee outside with me. She had an accident in our bed and her crate, just pee. I caught her last night peeing so I took her outside but nothing happened. It’s like she doesn’t know why we’re standing in one spot for 10 minutes so she can go. And I don’t want to keep saying potty until she actually goes potty. Please help!
THNX. GOOD VIDEO.
HELP?🙏🏻🙏🏻
My dog absolutely WILL NOT enter her crate on her on will.
She must have been abused and the crate used as punishment.
I’ve had her a month now (rescue pitty 9 months old) and even with Ruth’s Chris mid rare steak she will not enter. 😳
I have to gently and lovingly put my hands under her and ease her in there every time and it’s breaking my heart.
She looks so damn sad like “what do I do wrong? Why are you doing this to me.”
That’s the look I get.
She doesn’t yelp or whine or bark once in there she just looks depressed as hell.
She has a nice bed, adequate room, (but not too big), chew toys, kongs, etc I’ve tried everything.
Anyone,
Please Help 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thats love, oh yeah!
What do you do when you take your puppy out to go potty. They either poop or pee or both. Then come back in and 15 minutes later they have an accident? Our puppy is 12 weeks old and just doesn’t seem to be getting the hang of it. We’re having to take her out at least every 15 minutes. We’ve had her two weeks and she still isn’t grasping it. Help!
HELP! My mother doesn't want my rescued puppies because they'll often go inside the house. How can I potty train 3 puppies at the same time? Can't take them outside at the same time because they'll go somewhere else but can't also take one individually after the other because while one is going outside the other will eventually go inside.
What do I do if I can't be home all day because of work? I work 8 hours a day and can't come home so I lock him in my room when at work because 8 hours is way to long to be locked in a crate. Of course I come home to accidents. But he doesn't have any when I'm home
I use the word “poop”. My dog gets stimulated by this word then poops if he is able. My dog is 5 months old and has not pooped in the house for 13 weeks and pee 6 weeks (he notified me I did not get him out quick enough).
Very nice. I have a 3 month old Doberman that knows the command and gets rewarded for going out, but still does it in the house. Granted we've only had her for a week but it can still be tiring sometimes.
a question.. what if i am at work and the dog is not in a dog kindergarden ? i guess it should not be in the crate.. but then what ? the whole day i am not at home
Does the dog not get it, that potty training means treats and might try to get outside because of that? I heard that the peeing pooing is selfrewarding enough?!
Killer post
Any tips for people who have to go to work and cannot be with the puppy 24/7? I feel like most people cannot stay with their dog like this all the time. Especially with small dogs who have little bladders 😅
Any update? Looking for encouragement. My 8 week old puppy is a terror right now. Screams when inside the crate no matter what treats, toys, potties, etc. Need to know if it got better for you, how, and when. Thanks!
I'm still having crate training problems. My dog is about to be a year old and sometimes he refuses to hold it overnight. The last time I would take out him for the day is 9pm at night and he at times still refuses to hold his pee n poo..plz help. 😮💨
Hey man, I just got a bull terrier puppy. he is five and a half months old. I bought him from some breeders here in the Philippines, and he was never potty trained. He ALWAYS goes in the house. I take him out all the time, but he doesn't go potty. He always waits til he is back in the house. Any advice would really help.
thank you
Am guessing you have resolved this by now. Most puppies need to eliminate 5 to 20 minutes after they eat, sleep, or play hard. Starting when you wake up, take him outside on leash to the spot you want him to go. You're just doing circles the length of the leash in that area. I tell my guys to get busy or find a spot. As soon as they do, praise just not too exuberantly because you don't want to interrupt them. Treats immediately after they eliminate and treats outside, none for coming in the house until the housetraining issue is resolved. Even if you want to take them for a walk afterwards, please take them inside even if it's just for 3 seconds. Then, want to go for a walk? That way potty training is a separate event. They s/be on a regular feeding schedule too. Whatever they don't eat within a half hour, gets taken up until the next feeding time. By putting them on a schedule, you then know when they should have to eliminate. So no free feeding or grazing all day long, especially if you are still having housetraining issues. Hope that helps.
REALLY Like your videos, BUT the sound quality SUCKS, PLEASE PLEASE redo some of your popular videos with proper sound. If you have, THANK YOU
do indoor potty training pls
I didn't understand rule number 2. Is this when the dog goes potty inside the house? I thought they should only go poop and pee outside...
reinforcing a shelter rescue too afraid to take treats outside makes for difficult potty training! prevent from going in wrong spot...doing that now!
I thought you stole my puppy for a video. He is literally undistinguishable from my own
Thank you!!!!
