  1. Is There A Such Thing As A Litter Tray 4 Dogs? Or Is It Only Used For Cats?

  2. Of all the videos on youtube on housebreaking this one actually tells you what to do. The rest are just a waste of life.

  3. Well, I live in an apartment…. I have those pads and I soak the pee and nothing happens, the puppy keeps peeing on the floor and not on the pad….:((( I’m consistently trying for 2 days now…. I hope in like a week or 2 it will learn to pee on the pad…:))

  5. only useful video i watched

  6. Well it took awhile but i trained my puppy to go one the pad awhile ago. he should be able to go outside and use the bathroom soon. @myteloneee, i do know how to take care of a dogs considering ive had one b4. its just that when i got her, she wasnt a puppy like the one i have now. and ive figured out how to deal with the school situation soo stfu

  7. @10bLaCkJaCk21 I’ve just got a dog too, what I’m doing on school days is building a fence around his kennel a peepee pad, therefore, when he needs to go, he just walks out of his kennel and goes.

    you should NOT get the puppy. if you cant properly care for the animal (including being able to take it out every couple hours) then you shouldnt own the puppy. Do people not understand common sense today? wow

  9. I have the same situation, got a puppy for xmas, and no one to watch her when at school most of the time, if you get any advice can you inform me haha.?

  10. hey, can anyone help me, i have a baby chi, she’s 4mths now. and she started going potty on the pads and i’d treat her and all of this, never really pooped. but now she’s stopped everything, i need to train her quick cause we live in appts and need to keep clean..we have a balcony tho. ANY ADVICEEE?

  11. This is a very good Idea.
    Makes a lot sence.

  12. @10bLaCkJaCk21 Did you solve your problem cus Im going to have the same problem soon and I just wanted to know how you dealt with that.

  13. Im getting a puppy for Christmas. I watched this video but my problem is that i have school and i don’t know what to do for my dog when im not home. I kno there’s going to be pee everywhere when i come home. But how can i prevent that from even happening? Plus dogs need to be taken out a lot. But if im at school, it won’t be able to…What should i do??

    Great to learn how to transition the potty training from inside to outside. I have also learnt that you can tie a bell to the back door, and then everytime before you take your dog out to pee, rub his nose gently against the bell to ring it….then they learn to ring the bell when they want to pee. I hope my upcoming puppy will learn these tricks.

  15. Nice

  16. Thanks!

  17. start out with a poodle and play with him/her all the time take him/her for walks on a daily basis (after meals and naps) feed him/or her twice a day. make sure she has her bussiness before the end of the walk.

  22. lol your not gonna get tips if you type with those manners.

  23. ok guys listen up im getting a puppy and im only twelve years old and my parents say if i want a puppy its my responcibility do u have any tips for a kid who is looking for a more playful dog?

  24. my dog sniffs around for a minute then pees, so all i have to do is pick her up before she pees, always go outside with your puppy when they are going to the restroom!

    Well when he goes inside never punish him that makes him want to go in the house when your not looking.
    When he goes outside pet his head, give him a treat, tell him he is a good boy. Make him think going outside is good and inside is boring and soon enough he’ll be potty trained.
