We’ve created a series of videos to help you toilet train your puppy. We have included various methods of confinement you can follow to toilet train your puppy. Confinement, supervision and actively taking your puppy to the Potty Plant will fast track the toilet training process.
DO

- Praise your dog and reward with treats when he/she uses the Potty Plant.
- Place puppy on Potty Plant first thing after a sleep and stay beside puppy until it is used. Remember to praise.
- Stay calm and patient with pup. They pick up on your energy. An anxious owner makes an anxious pup.

5. Umbilical cord training and toilet training
Using the lead at home is seriously underrated. Having your dog on a lead will prevent your dog from roaming around the house having accidents when they shouldn’t. It will allow you to control your puppy to toilet in the right spot.
6. My Puppy is Digging the Potty Plant
If you are actively supervising your puppy’s toilet visits with a lead then your puppy won’t have a chance to dig the Potty Plant. If the Potty Plant is kept in the playpen unsupervised, then you can purchase the Cage Mat to protect the grass.
7. My puppy has regressed with toilet training
Did you know most puppies don’t fully toilet train until after 6 months? This means having the odd accident here or there is normal. However if you find your puppy has regressed with training it is important for you to go back to square one and be super consistent with the initial training.
