The Perfect Potty Training PlanThe Schedule For Potty Training Your Dog In Record Time

Step #1

7am

Get a timer and wait for your puppy to go to the bathroom on the floor. When it happens, start the timer. When it happens again, stop the timer. The elapsed

time is how often you should take your puppy out for potty breaks. The guide-lines below are estimates, but if the times are off — go by how long your puppy

can hold it. Each passing week, increase the time by about 30 minutes.

Potty Time: Once outside, be sure to tell your puppy to “go potty” once outside so that they learn the command. Have a post-potty treat ready. Make sure they go #1 & #2.
