Re: Help with pending puppy toilet training

Hi! I have two 1 year old golden retrievers. Potty training two was a challenge! Experience from training my other pups helped. I used wee wee pads instead of newspaper.They are more absorbant and some come with a baking soda scent. Always place a small section of soiled pad onto a fresh one so the puppy will smell their scent. Work your way to the door you will use to bring them outside. Bring them outside to the same place they used before &/or place piece of soiled pad on the ground. I also always let them out when they woke up, ate, played etc. I also chose a phrase that I used each time I let them out. I would say Go potty or Do Your Business! Consistency is half the battle! Also, do you crate train? Puppies do well with crate training. It's not mean, they really like having their own space. Plus they don't like to mess where they sleep. I hope this helps! Best wishes! Marianne
