Great info, thanks John. I sent you an email regarding the house training chart. Cheers.

having transition issues as well- my pup is 15 weeks today, and all he wants to do outside is chase leaves and eat grass- he even had a rock in his mouth!! uggh- this is my fourth dog over a span of 30 years or so, but for some reason i can't remember the potty training days with any of the first 3! i have mostly lived in apartments, but with this new pup we are in the countryside, and I've actually got lots of grass but no fenced in area- and the fact that he's so distracted, it's frustrating me to no end! any suggestions?? thanks!!

going through the same issue right now, trying to transition my 5-month old poodle from pee pads to outdoors. We got him in December and the NYC winter + lepo/parvo outbreak + living in a 3rd floor walk up did not lend itself to immediately training him outdoors. We actually tried outdoors immediately for the first few weeks and it was working, given with some accidents, but we stopped out of fear he would catch something and get sick. outdoor training starts tomorrow and we're planning on taking him out of the crate first thing in the morning so he can mark his scent and continue to go in that spot, but what's your reasoning for not removing the pads completely from the apartment? he will be going on the pavement outside, not grass. we will also supervise him heavily (and use the crate when we can't) during this transition period. Do you think removing the pads will cause more accidents than it's worth? we're worried that keeping the pee pads inside will confuse him. thanks for your help, this video was great!

My puppy is 3+months ((under 4)) she was doing great with puppy pads she still was taking a pee on the floor and not the pads only no more than2 times other than that training her on the pads was gojng great and those rare accidents not on the pad wasn’t so much of a deal as I knew she was learning and accidents were expected reassured she knew where to pee on her pads .. BUT all of a sudden she has began to use my floor throughout the house to pee !! 🤦‍♀️ i don’t understand why she has suddenly gone to the floor ?? I’m still continuing with the pads and my response to her peeing on my floor is responding consistently &repeating my same reaction each time Changing my tone and calmly sayin the words On your mat whilst placing her in the middle This is what I did when I first started puppy pad training and was successful untill now . Do you have any ideas on why you think she has started peeing off the mat ? I would be greatful to hear your thoughts and opinion . Hope this makes sense 🐾🐾

Please help me…. The breeder used puppy pads!! I now have a 14week old pad trained puppy. I never used a crate PLEASE help me!!!!!
