- We've been working on potty training multiple puppies at one time and I think we have almost perfected it. With using a potty tray system, it makes potty training so much easier and easier to keep areas clean.

QUESTION - Have a question about breeding, puppy ownership, grooming, or anything else? Post in the comments section of this video!
As a long, long time breeder, I used to do this method but have found that using squares of artificial grass in the trays (instead of potty pads- and no grate) works much better and prepares the puppies for going outside.
Oh interesting!
wouldn't it be harder to clean?
@@robin212212 you just put a potty pad underneath and hose them off a couple times a day. Have multiple pieces of the artificial turf, let them air dry between use. Easy peasy.
I am not a breeder but I give my pup a real grass patch that you just replace every few weeks via subscription. Works great
@@WorkingK9 thanks
I was a fan already because you are so clean and neat and ethical. I am now glad and proud of you both for being such good parents. It amazed me to see your kids involved and not on electronics. You have an amazing family. God bless you all.
Thank you so much! That means a lot!
I just love how you have your girls involved, and you give great positive reinforcement with them.
Thank you so much!!
I'm a novice breeder and just purchased one of your trays after using pine pellets... They worked well but my asthma has been horrible... I'm so grateful for this alternative! Great job!!!!!!!🎉
I am so glad!
Anybody would be blessed to have you as their breeder!
I know I live in London UK and am addicted to watching. Never seen anyone care for puppies like Erin does, she's amazing.
Your kind words!!!! Thank you!
Thank you so much!

I have heard many people say there’s no way to ethically breed goldendoodles, but I think this channel would have to change their mind because it’s so evident how knowledgeable you are and how wonderfully cared for and clean these puppies are.
Thank you. That is one of the kindest things to say!
Your daughter not only looks just like you ,but is a great little helper!
Thank you!!!!

Hi! Thats great info and inspiration as I currently have my first litter of puppies born last Saturday :) What are the pads / mats you are using under those trays please? :)
They are durawhelps pads!
Just love watching your videos, all the puppies are so adorable 🥰
Thank you!
Hopefully the testing goes well!!! Let us know when we can purchase. I would love to support you! My puppies will need trays in 2 weeks.

This is the way I recently potty trained my Chihuahua. I litter trained it, as opposed to letting it go outside, and it was by far the easiest and the best method I have ever used.
So what I did was purchase a 24 X 18 wire doggy crate and put a doggy bed, a doggy blanket, and some doggy toys inside it.
At the same time, I also purchased a 24 X 18 solid plastic container with high sides that I customized into my new doggy litter box by using a hack saw to cut out an opening on one side of the container large enough so a Chihuahua can enter and exit it easily. Then I added an inch layer of pine pellets to the floor as the litter material.
Next, with the Chihuahua puppy inside the doggy crate I butted the doggy crate opening to the doggy litter box opening. As the idea was that the Chihuahua puppy would sleep and play in the doggy crate but when it needed to eliminate, it would eliminate in the doggy litter box. Guess what, it worked like a charm.
So for the first three weeks, I kept this up only letting the Chihuahua puppy out to bond and play only after I saw that it had very recently eliminated.
Then after three weeks, I slid the doggy litter box out about a foot and a half away from the doggy crate. Then I monitored my new puppy closely throughout the day to see if she was using the doggy litter box like she was supposed to, and she did flawlessly.
Then subsequently, I slid the doggy litter box on each successive day a little closer and closer to the final designated location for the doggy litter box I had previously picked out. When the litter box was in its final designated location, I then considered my new puppy fully potty trained.
In any event, this was not only by far the easiest time I ever had potty training a Chihuahua puppy, but it was the first time I ever trained a Chihuahua puppy without having even a single puppy mistakes. As what makes this method so wonderful is the puppy literally trains itself.
Moreover, a litter box, as far as I'm concerned, is not only the easiest way to train your pet because your pet essentially trains itself, but overall it's the best solution as well. As I don't have to worry about maintaining a set schedule to let my puppy out or about the time it takes to do it. I don't have to worry about whether it is snowing or raining outside or if it is freezing or too hot. I also don't have to worry about leaving the puppy alone for an extended period of time. I also don't have to worry about fleas, ticks, mosquitos, or my dog getting a disease another dog left behind. I also don't have to worry about other dogs attacking my tiny Chihuahua since she always remains inside the home.
As far as the litter material goes, I highly recommend pine pellets because it virtually eliminates all odors and it is quite easy to work with. It's also far cheaper than other kinds of litter materials and does a far better job at eliminating odors. As you can buy a 40 pound bag of the stuff at Tractor Supply Company for $6.79 plus tax and you will use only about two to maybe three bags a year. Meanwhile, when a dog or cat urinates on the pellets, the pellets disintegrate into odorless saw dust.
To make cleaning my doggy litter box easy, I purchased a sifting cat litter box as a cleaning aid only. So what I do to clean the litter box since I always flush down the toilet any solids as soon as I see them, is empty the doggy litter box in the sifter of the cat litter box. Then I sift the sawdust in the sifter into the cat litter box below. When all that remains in the sifter are pine pellets, I then empty the sifter back into my doggy litter box and then add about a scoop to a scoop and a half of pine pellets to make up for what was used. Then I empty the sawdust in the cat litter box from below the sifter into the trash since it is odorless. Lastly, I wipe everything down and put everything up until the next time. As I clean my doggy litter box out about once a week.
This method of potty training won't only work for Chihuahua's, it should also work for most breeds of dogs as well.
Wow! Thank you for walking us thru this extensive process. But what an amazing accomplishment! Thank you!
This is amazing! Did you keep the crate and potty box in an enclosed play yard area, or a gate enclosed small room? 🤔
I took my parents' senior Maltese when they passed. She was 12 & messed on all the carpets. That was not going to work with me! I litter box trained her with a pad in a low entry litter box butted up to her bed in a pen. As she used it properly, I made the distance between potty box & bed further apart (lots of praising & treats, kept enlarging the pen). Once I felt comfortable, I started leaving the pen gate open & let her run around the living room & kitchen (gate closed rooms off from rest of house).
This worked well except for she pees a lot so sometimes if I couldn't change the pad fast enough she would track urine around outside the box! 😨
If it were not for her advanced age (almost 17 now with cataracts & barely hear), I would definitely try pellets that would help with smell, cost, & urine tracking. To save money on pads I bought 30" x 35" people pads (hold more urine & heavier) & cut in 4ths to save money. They almost fit the 24" x 30" x 5" litter box. Close enough for the money saved! 😊
How do you train for travel? Do you use pads in a litter box? Thank you so much for posting. I want a small Chihuahua so much that I could travel with to my kids' houses. If can find one I can afford in the south FL to LA, will be my next dog! 😊♥
@@southernlady8809 Well, when we go out of town overnight, my wife's sister keeps her for us and of course, we return the favor by keeping their dog for them when they go out of town overnight.
Moreover, I have never used pads because to me they are gross. I always and will always use that litter box I made with pine pellets because pine pellets eliminate any odors.
The only problem is there is a small amount of tracking of pine pellets on the floor from when she exits the litter box, but when we do cleanups it takes about a minute to vacuum it up.
During the training her crate and litter box were set up in a wash room.
Can you share a link to the type of plastic container you used? This is interesting!
Hi! Love your videos. My question is, with that many trays involved how does mom get in there and lay down to nurse? That’s the issue I’m running into.
Hey! When we start using the trays our moms have weaned or are nursing standing up. I hope that helps!
They are 4 weeks old and away from mom? I’m confused as to why so young away from mom
They wean at 4 weeks and Bella
Takes over for the socialization.
Hi! I was wondering about when y’all bring a puppy on an airplane to its new owner. Do the pups need anything to calm their nerves, or do they travel well? I’ll be flying to FL from Oregon soon and wondering about your experiences in this. Btw, I have learned so much from you, thank you for all you do!
Most of the time the puppies are very calm and fine to travel!!
@@DoodlesofNC thanks! Good to know.
Hello Tracy how are you doing today
That's such a sweet bonding moment
❤️❤️❤️
… I would love to know where did you get the metal trays where puppies go potty from please? Anyone knows? …
She said they are shelves?

Could you please link what you by for the potty trays please
Sure! Www.littlewolves.com
Hi! Could you put a link to the new neon tray and the metal grate that goes above it? I notice the metal grates above the neon trays look different from the other ones. Thank you! 😀❤️
Link to new trays are coming!!! We will be taking preorders soon.
@@DoodlesofNC thank you! That sounds great! I’m excited! Always want to know anything new I can try out to make things more efficient!
@@DoodlesofNC thank you! May I please email you to preorder the new trays and metal grate? Thanks
I'm looking for a litter trays like the ones you have, can you please let me know where you got them from? thanks!

Oh my goodness I wish I was living near you love from Bunbury western Australia
Thank you!!! Love right back at ya!
So I’m curious why the puppies have such a small space to roam around inside their dens? It appears that the puppy potty areas take up the majority of the space.
That’s the purpose and then we remove trays and they potty on the farther away.
Will you be having a black Friday sale on those wonderful potty trays? TIA
I’ll ask jp!
What size are the gray floor pads in the pens that accommodate two whelping pens. Also can you share the link to them please?
Www.Doodlesofnc.com/breeders-shop
They are 72/72
Great video. Are you selling them? I’m interested in purchasing one. I’m in Los Angeles, California
Yes! Check out www.littlewolves.com
Sorry I meant I’m I was interested in purchasing a puppy
Ahh! Please visit doodlesofnc.com and fill out an application. I look forward to talking with you!
Are the trays in stock? I wonder if I buy some if they will be here by March?
We are getting updates this week! But no, they are not in stock yet
I just love your shirt! It looks amazing on you! Is it a running shirt? What brand/style? Thank you!
Usually I wear Peter Millar ! Thank you.
@@DoodlesofNC Thank you! I’ll definitely check it out. 😃👍🏻
Hello Tina how are you doing today
where is your spin mop, Huni i cant live without it?
Ha! I do have a mop but it’s it’s not a spin one .
Where did you get the trays?
Www.littlewolves.com
Those grates do you recommend the square patterns or the straight patterns? My 6 weeks puppys poop sometime doesn’t fall through the grate
The straight patterns work the best for us.
Where do you buy the white puppy enclosures shown in your videos, thanks
kit.co/doodlesofnc
Thanks for watching!
Thank you
How long do you leave the mush in there for them when first weaning . ? Thank you 😊 also is there concern for their feet splaying on the rack ? I have xl bully pups and someone brought to my attention because they are a heavier weight it could cause their feet to splay, have you encountered this?
I leave it in there full time as long as mom isn’t there (she would just eat it!) they usually self regulate.
Where did you buy your trays?
Www.littlewolves.com
I would love to hear an update about how things are going with Rosie and her family!
They are rocking!!! She’s over 6 lbs now
I’m curious what you use to disinfect that’s safe for puppies? Also I tried the trays but they were too large for mini schnauzer puppies. I’ll be in search of something similar. I have been using faux grass on top of puppy pads.
Try using the crate with a cookie cooling tray on top of it. Until their paws are big enough. We use method cleaning spray in their areas. I mop with water and a splash of bleach
Love you’re shoes what brand and style are they?! Lol
Kane!
I've never seen these trays before. My first thought was does it hurt their little feet?
Doesn’t hurt them at all!
Best helpers….😊lucky you!
They are great girls!
Hi, what type of spray do you use?
Method
I need your girls for my new puppy energy... I am too old for all this. But I wanted a poodle.
Hahhaha
Still the best🐾🥰🐾
Your so cool!
What age do you start the trays?
4 weeks
What is the gate thing you use after they go to garage?
For potty training?
What are those white fencing called
It’s EZWhelp. You can find it here.
kit.co/doodlesofnc
I’m in sc didn’t get much
Good!
when do you do outside
After their 6 week apt.
Will you have a black friday sale on your potty trays?
They are already on sale for the presale. So I don’t think so!
@@DoodlesofNC thank you! How many would I need if my whelping box is only 4x4 with an extension?TIA ❤️
What did you use to make your floor look so nice in your garage?
Epoxy!
@@DoodlesofNC Did you put something into the epoxy that makes it look like that? Or does it come in that color?
You get to choose and then there are chips you can add in, which gives it a speckled look.
Where do buy those trays. ?
Www.doodlesofnc.com/breeders-shop
Are Chinese crested too small to use your new system? What would you recommend if so?
This should work great for that breed. Chinese Crested range between 5lbs and 12lbs is what I see online.
@@DoodlesofNC so you don't think their tiny feet would go through the wires? Btw, your doodles are adorable! I'm a Sphynx breeder and was just approached by a crested breeder to start a crested breeding program. I acquired my first female whom I'm in love with. Very excited to start this program. Thank you for responding! ❤️
No I think it would work, also do your concerned you can zip tie a cookie cooling sheet to the top. That will definitely keep their feet from not going thru.
This is not ideal when you have 20 puppies I found that using washer, pan and pine pellets is far more effective for us by cleaning and not as time-consuming
I’m glad you found something that works for you!
Hello love your channel, I have a few questions, I am an upcoming breeder with 5 week old pups. I just started with trays (1 weeks now) I see they are using it to poop mostly, but not Pee pee, any recommendations?
Do you have the most of the area covered?
@@DoodlesofNC to be honest I only had one tray (I made it after seeing your training video) by the way I also messaged you in regards to getting a quote on one. But they seem to be using it for poop and some pee, but they are peeing on the whelping blanket (same one you have) so I’m washing a blanket once or twice a day sheesh this is a lot of work, I respect your work!
@@DoodlesofNC also, any recommendations on how to gain sales on these puppies? What platform to use? I only have IG but I feel like it’s not enough, trying to go by word of mouth, but now we find ourself lowering the price so much. Just figured I’d ask bc Im sure you’ve been down this road already. Thank you for all your awesome videos and help. (I’m breeding all American bullies, in NY) 😁
I think the more social media you put out there the better it is. People want to see where they are raised, what’s going on with the puppies, etc. eventually you build a name for your self. Professional organizations can help too. Good dog is a website that’s reached out to use before. I hope you find homes.
Thank you! It is. But totally worth it!
I have 9 puppies
Congrats!
I would love to be a puppy player
Haha sign up!!
Who isn't ready to play with puppies?!
So true
Id be moving away from those pipes on the walls.
Ellen, what pipes are you seeing? Could you send me the timestamp of where you see it in the video?
Why do you not wash your hands. You need to spread the wash cloths bigger, so your cleaning better. you need to wear those for all the cleaning.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I am new to your videos.
I am a dog trainer if anyone needs one
Well thank you for watching!
@@DoodlesofNC you welcome
Help me. Won't the puppies get used to the weird substrate and want to poop on sewer screens their whole lives?
I don’t think so.
😊💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Woohoo!
Where do you get the trays??
