🐾How To Teach Your Puppy To Tell You They Need To Go Outside To Potty Housetraining Tip🐾

Potty training your puppy or dog can go faster if you teach your pup to tell you they need to go outside. So, I’ve got a housetraining tip fort your pup can have a reliable “tell” so that you know they need to go out to potty. With clear communication and some practice, housetraining can become much easier and stress-free.
Transcript Summary:
Do you find yourself with a 6, 7, 8, 9 month or older puppy who still isn't completely house trained? And if you've got an older puppy that you believe should be house trained, there could be a few reasons why they aren't yet.
The number one reason I believe that older puppies are still going in your house when they should be going outside is because they've never been taught how to ask to go outside. Or even if the puppy has tried to tell you they want to go outside, the puppy's communication might be too subtle for your abilities to be able to read that communication. So, what we've got to do starting today is give you the tools so that you can teach your puppy how to tell you, “I need to go outside.”
And once they've got that ability, well then life changes for both of you. So, the first thing I'd ask is I want you to think about how you would like your dog to tell you that they would like to go outside. Now they don't have a cell phone, so they can't give you a call. Think about long term for the rest of this dog's life, what does that look like? Now you can make it be intentional. And a lot of my dogs, it just happened organically. But with Prophet, it definitely has become a very intentional thing
The ability for a dog to have communication with their owners that they can say, “I got to go now.” is so important. It doesn't matter if you're committed to taking that puppy out on a timetable for the rest of your life, there will come a day in the middle of the night when they've got like diarrhea.
It's not on a schedule. It's just a thing. And without them having the ability to communicate that they have a problem, you're just going to have a mess to clean up the next day. But once they know how to make that communication, problem gets a lot easier for them to explain to you.
So, even Momentum, who is the one who goes back and forth, if it's the middle of the night, she will always come right to my face and pant or push on the mattress as she goes back and forth from the door.
There's always a way for them to tell me they need to go outside. The biggest mistake people make when they're potty training is they do too much to help as the puppy continues to get old and they never establish a way for that puppy to communicate with them.
Makes sense, right? Now, I would love to know what is your unique tell. How do your dog’s let you know that they would like to go outside?
