How To Potty Train Your Puppy In Minutes – The Quick & Easy Way

Over the past few years, I’ve lost count of the number of emails I get about potty training puppies. So today, I want to touch base on one of the more common questions I had recently, which is… “how exactly do I potty train my puppy?”

It’s sad to say, but we don’t live in a perfect world. And while we’d all like nothing more than to own a fully potty trained pup from day one, the fact is that potty training your puppy is not always going to be as smooth sailing from the get go.

Now, I get it, I know how frustrating it is watching your pup turn the carpet a darker shade of yellow.

And I know it can feel like a constant battle to make sure your innocent little pup doesn’t open the floodgates whenever your back is turned.

It’s stressful, it’s messy, and it can put a huge strain on the relationship you have with your pup which can often result in expensive training, or in worst cases, even rehoming your pup.

I speak from personal experience when I say that nobody deserves to go through this frustration. So it’s essential to try and steer your pup in the right direction before the unthinkable happens.

But here’s the problem…

Potty training your puppy can be a long and stressful process, and to be honest, it doesn’t really need to be.

I’ll explain how in a minute. First, let me talk about WHY your puppy seems to be so hard to train…

See, the reason you are having so much difficulty potty training your puppy is that you’ve been training them the outdated way.

It’s not your fault though. The fault really lies with all the bad potty training information that’s out there on the Internet and elsewhere.

Most people start potty training their puppy using verbal cues or commands like “Go Potty,” etc… Because that’s what they have been taught to do by numerous books on potty training and by all the videos they’ve seen on the Internet.

Here’s the problem – that’s exactly how NOT to potty train a puppy!

Why?

Because the science of animal behavior says that potty training your pup using verbal cues sets your puppy up for failure.

Puppies that are potty trained only using verbal cues never get trained properly. Or at least, the training doesn’t last long.

So what’s the best way to potty train a puppy?

The science is very clear on this – puppies are best potty trained by using body language. Now, this doesn’t mean that you should never use verbal cues. What it means is that you should always START your pup’s potty training using body language. Later on, you can bring in a verbal cue to reinforce your pup’s training.

Let me give you an example of how this works…

One of the biggest mistakes most puppy owners make is that they don’t give their puppy work to do.

And this is one of the many reasons that certain dogs (ie. service dogs) respond so quickly to training.

Now, by “job” or “work”, I don’t mean that a service dog is always doing something physical in nature.

Instead, what I mean is that when you give a service dog the hand signal to “go potty” for instance, here’s how the service dog would have been trained to think:

“My owner has now given me the job to ‘go potty’. So I will go to the exact spot my owner wants me to do my business until my owner tells me to do something else, because that’s the job that my owner wants me to do for her now.”

So unlike most “normal” pups who think of “go potty” as a random word that has no value, service dogs think of “go potty” as a serious job that they have to do with commitment, dedication, and purpose until they get their next job from their owner.

As you can imagine, it’s a dramatically different mindset!

And this mindset is the reason service dogs are so well trained, and so many “normal” dogs (even if they know cues like GO POTTY) are not.

The good news is that you can train your puppy to have the same mindset as a service dog as well.

And when you get this part right, potty training your puppy becomes effortless.

So here’s the deal…

If you want to learn the secret to potty training your puppy the right way, while teaching them to have the same mindset as a service dog, the first thing I’d recommend doing is checking out K9ti’s free online puppy training workshop.

Just to give you a little more insight, this free online puppy training workshop goes into extensive detail on the best practices and techniques to potty train your pup by helping your puppy develop the same level of calmness, obedience, and impulse control as service dogs.

It’s presented by Alexa Diaz (one of the top service dog trainers in the U.S.) and Eric Presnall (host of the hit Animal Planet TV show “Who Let the Dogs Out”).

The techniques described in the workshop have been a complete game changer for myself and thousands of other frustrated owners who implemented the techniques inside this free workshop.

This is because for the first time (at least that I know of) anyone has revealed the secret techniques used by the service dog training industry to train service dogs.

The best part?

These techniques work on ANY puppy… regardless of age or breed.

From small breeds like Pomeranians and Chihuahuas to large breeds like English Mastiffs and Great Danes.

Even puppies as young as 6 weeks old, and untrained adult dogs as old as 13 years, have been successfully potty trained using the techniques inside this free workshop.

It’s not a live workshop – it’s actually pre-recorded, which means that you can watch it as many times as you like.

However, while the workshop is free, I am not sure how long it’s going to stay that way, so I’d recommend checking it out while it’s still available.

When to Start Potty Training?

Before going any further, let’s get one thing straight. It’s never too late to start potty training. If you’ve rescued or adopted an older pup who’s still struggling with bathroom etiquette, don’t panic.

The older a pup gets, the trickier it can be to get them out of old habits and into new ones. But don’t mistake ‘challenging’ for ‘impossible.’ Providing you’re consistent, patient, and up for the challenge, it’s more than possible to teach them good toileting habits. 

The younger a pup is, the more open they are to new ideas. A younger puppy doesn’t have the same ingrained habits as an adolescent. They haven’t had time to develop bad habits.

Basically, they’re little sponges, ready to absorb each and every new thing that comes their way. 

Tap into that sponge-like mentality at the right time, and you’ll find potty training a much easier experience than it might be otherwise. 

Just don’t make the mistake of thinking that if young is good, younger is better. There’s a limit to how low you can go when it comes to the best age to potty train a pup. 

A puppy that’s only just left its mother simply won’t have the bladder control it needs to start potty training. Water flows through them like… well, water. Expecting them to ‘hold it’ for even a minute or so is asking the impossible. 

So, when exactly is the golden age for potty training? 

Although it varies by the individual (some breeds are simply smaller or less mature than other dogs, but don’t worry – they all get there in the end), the best age to start is between 12 and 16 weeks. By that age, they’ll have enough bladder control to hold it for long enough to start making headway.

As a rule of thumb, use the equation…

Puppy’s age in months +1 = Maximum number of hours of bladder control 

…to work out just how long to go between trips to the yard. 

Just remember that most pups don’t develop full control over their bladder and bowels until they’re at least five or six months old. Some can take even longer.

If you want to get to the end of the process as soon as you can while minimizing any accidents along the way, take a few minutes to check out the K9 Training Institute’s free online workshop.

If you want the inside scoop on what works and what doesn’t, this is where you’ll get it.  

How to Potty Train Your Puppy

The first step in getting your puppy to pee outside? …Identify the reason why they’re not doing it already. Once you know what’s behind the problem, you’ll have a much easier time correcting it.

Go Back to Basics

Sometimes, there’s nothing else for it. You have to reverse your steps and go all the way back to square one. And that’s just fine. After all, second-time lucky, right? 

If your first attempt at housetraining didn’t go to plan, go back to the start and start working through the basics again.

Once you’ve done that, remember some of these key takeaways:

Use a Leash

Each time you make a trip outside, pop your pup on a leash.

Puppies can get easily distracted. If they spot something interesting, they’ll go haring after it and forget all about their need to pee until they get back indoors.

A leash will help you focus their attention on the task at hand. Use it to limit any prancing and to direct them to a specific location you’ve designated as a ‘bathroom.’ 

Remember to Reward

Throwing a huge party when your pup pees outdoors might seem a bit OTT, but don’t underestimate the power of praise.

Puppies love to feel they’ve done something good: the more often you reward them when they do, the more inclined they’ll be to do it again.

Go for a Second Round

Puppies will often only empty their bladders enough to take the edge off. To stop them from finishing off their business indoors, take them back outside ten minutes after your first trip.  

Keep Them Under Supervision

Allowing a puppy free reign of the house before they’ve been potty trained is asking for disaster. By keeping them under constant supervision, you’ll be better positioned to spot the signs they need to pee and get them outside, pronto. 

Talking of signs…

Learn to Spot the Signs

If your puppy forgets or doesn’t know how to ask to go out, it’s helpful to learn the signs of an impending pee break. If your puppy starts circling, sniffing around, or acting restless, take it as your cue to leash them up and head outside.

Set Your Clock

Puppies tend to pee at set times. Usually, this will be when they first wake up, after eating or playing, or after they’ve had a drink.

If you can create a schedule of pee breaks around these times, it’ll make a big difference to how much pee ends up on your carpet and how much ends up in the yard. 

Keep Yard Visits Frequent

It takes a while for a puppy to gain full bladder control. To minimize the risk of any accidents in the meantime, keep your yard visits frequent. A trip outside every hour should do it.

As they get older, you can gradually work on increasing the length of time between visits.

Get Rid of Any Suspicious Smells…

Puppies like to revisit the scene of a crime. If they can detect any hint of urine on your carpet, they’ll not hesitate to treat it to a fresh helping of pee.

By eliminating any existing odors with an enzymatic cleaner, you’ll go a long wait to prevent any further accidents in the same spot. 

…Then Add Some New Ones

Once you’ve got rid of any suspicious smells from inside, add a few fresh ones outside.

Pups often like to pee and poop in places they’ve used for those purposes before. Using a pee and poop training spray that mimics the smell of fresh puppy do-da can encourage them to use their designated outdoor spot.

Just bear in mind that some dogs don’t like to ‘go’ where other dogs have gone before. The only way to find out if this method works for your pup is by way of trial and error. 

This is also where the technique revealed inside the K9 Training Institute’s free online puppy training workshop really comes in handy.

Not only will you learn how to potty train your pup, but you’ll also discover simple, highly effective calming exercises to keep your pup’s emotions in check.
