I have had amazing success using a product called Fresh Patch. You can order this online easily. This product has its own website and it is delivered to your address via autoship every couple of weeks. It is basically a patch of grass in a box with an absorbent pad underneath. The clients of mine that have used this have said the puppy automatically began using the patch and others had to physically pick up the puppy and put it on the patch several times before the puppy is trained. I would give this a try and see if this works for you. Taking your puppy out on a regular basis and praising will also help reinforce good bathroom habits. I hope this helps!

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco. I honestly would recommend using Fresh Patch. I've had so many clients have success stories with potty training their puppy because of this product. It is basically a patch of grass that you order online that comes in a cardboard box that auto-ships to you to replace the used one. I would look into this and try it out to see if it helps more than the puppy pad. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! It sounds as though Bunny is getting it just fine. If he is not having accidents in the house and is going on his pads, keep this training technique up and he will eventually know that he needs to go to the bathroom on the balcony. You can even attach a bell to the door and teach him to paw at the bell when he needs to go out. A great product you can use to potty train is called Fresh Patch. There is a website for this product where you can order it from. It is essentially a patch of grass with an absorbent pad underneath of it in a cardboard box. I have had several puppies that responded to using the Fresh Patch within the first week of using it. I find that it is a great product for training puppies to go to the bathroom outside and they really seem to love using it. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Hi and thanks for using Boop by Petco! Sorry to hear about Piper. The steps are basically the same for training puppies and adult dogs. Please refer to this link for some good tips- https://www.petcoach.co/article/top-5-tips-to-potty-train-your-dog-young-and-old/ Basically, it's all about consistency and knowing when the time is right to take the puppy outside. Young puppies will take some time to train. They need time to mature and understand what you are expecting of them. So, here are the times to focus on and please understand they will have accidents during the training program. Take them out when they wake up from a nap or long sleep, Right after playing or during playing when they lose focus and start wandering around looking for somewhere to go, Right after they eat or drink, or whenever they appear to be searching for a bathroom spot. If they do NOT go to the bathroom outside bring them back inside and place them in their crate with a toy or something to oc
