POTTY TRAINING

One of the first things people want to teach their puppy is how to be properly house-trained. Below is a simple step-by-step process, involving a crate that's just big enough for the dog to stand up, spin around, and lay down (and not any larger). This will allow the dog to learn to hold their bladder.

Depending on the age of the dog, we have to consider how long they can hold their bladders. A young pup at a couple of months old should stay crated for a couple of hours. This time frame can become longer the older the dog is.

After the time in the crate, the puppy is taken out and given a chance to go potty.

If they successfully go potty, the dog should be rewarded, perhaps taken on a walk. We try to reinforce that the bathroom break leads to more fun activities.

If the puppy doesn't go, then he or she is brought back to the crate. We wait 20 minutes, then repeat the process.

The important factor is to make the dog associate going outside with going potty, and that it's something to look forward to.

If the puppy happens to go inside the house, you don't need to rush at it with punishment behavior. You simply say "no," take the pup outside, and reward with positive reinforcement after they go potty correctly.

If the puppy has gone potty in the house, but you did not catch them in the act, then do NOT correct them. You must catch them immediately or else they won't understand.

Note: if your puppy goes potty inside their potty-training crate, then it's your fault. Dogs do not go potty where they sleep or eat unless they simply can't hold it.

Nate is hands down one of the best trainers to watch; everything is so broken down. How this video doesn't have a million views is crazy.

[cindywhitten]

Thanks so much for this info! My last puppy potty trained herself so now that I'm getting a new pup after over 12 years I'm really rusty! So glad I found this channel!

[CassTyson]

OMG, this is fantastic! So much more efficient than so other trainers I've watched. One YouTuber says potty training is a "months-long process!" No thank you! I'm doing THIS! We got two puppies yesterday. They're 8 weeks old today, so this is perfect timing. Thanks!

[dudehere]

I love this dude's logical easy explanations and the DEMOSTRATIONS! I can't wait to use them when I get my new puppy.

[commuterdigitalmedia]

How does this only have 295 views?! Genius

[sheabuske]

Your videos are the only ones that help me train puppies.

[gisellecarrera]

very helpful for my new puppy next week will train her my best ! she’s a gsd

[fludrbywest]

I really love and appreciate you training way! I have just joined and I never thought I would ever have a shy scaredy cat dog/puppy. I have worked with lots and lots of dogs, and this is the very first puppy I’ve ever had that was a scaredy-cat. her name is cookie and I’m just beside myself I keep watching your videos to get better understanding, and I need more directions.

[blitheringrando]

I like how sweet he is with the puppies, I'm adopting his training style for a new shepherd puppy on the way. I might want to get his personal fitness training regimen too haha.

[sawanishiraz]

I LOVED the part about doing a fun activity! Thank you for showing it doesn't always have to be about treats. 🤗

[stephaniewalchle]

I’m working on training my four month old adopted puppy to be my service Dog I have Anxiety and allergy induced asthma when fully trained he may save my life some Day but training is key .

[jonathan.a.boateng]

I don't have a dog or a puppy but I like your teachings. Thanks

I just got my 3mths plus puppy Dalmatian few days ago. He has been doing his business inside the crate when I put him there which I think the breeder has been leaving him inside all the time to eat, sleep and all. How do I correct this behaviour and lead him to proper potty training? How long after he made his mistake should I bring him out again to the grass? I often just wait because I thought there wouldn’t be anything left to come out.

I was leaving him overnight and just found out I shouldn’t have left him inside more than 3 hours from your video.

Please help. Thank you.

By the way, love your video, short and clear.

[hunbun]

Great video!! I used this video months ago to train my puppy but never commented!! Took in a 3 month old puppy who had only used puppy pads inside the house (and she had been out only a handful of times) and this video really helped!! You’re amazing

[ducky]

Hey, so I have a question about this.What if I get a new puppy that I have to take out at night? Like if i get a new puppy and I have to get up at night to let my puppy out what should I do cause you said to play with your dog and stuff but I do not want to play a game outside in the middle of the night.
Also can you make a video on how to introduce your new puppy to a cat?

[TTTH]

I'm getting a new puppy and im following all of these videos. Nate is awesome and makes puppy training straightforward with simple explanations. Thanks so much for this

[RoamingWithRobert]

just spent 3hrs watching your videos... I really appreciate your methods and how you don't waste time in your videos. You get to the instruction quickly and efficiently with easy to follow 'markers'. Wait.. am i being trained :). Seriously though, I've trained 4 of my dogs and always felt i was missing something and never achieved the level of obedience i wanted with things like "focused heel" but I have a new puppy coming this week (Border Collie - Doodle mix) and I'll be trying your advice this go 'round. Thanks again!

[stephaniewalchle]

[chimichangas]

So glad I found you Nate! Getting a puppy pug tomorrow!
