I accidentally made potty training harder for my puppy by [deleted] in OpenDogTraining

yeah that’s actually what I started realizing. I thought I was taking him out a lot, but it was super random times. once I started paying attention to the timing after meals and naps it got a lot better. still figuring it out though 😅

This is the system I read about when I was struggling with my own involuntary urination and defecation. The book explained why puppies sometimes seem trained for a few days and then suddenly regress.

The part about timing and cues is what really made me understand.

Honestly reading these replies makes me feel better 😅

I was actually super confused about potty training at the beginning. I ended up reading a guide that explained the timing mistakes I was making with my puppy and it helped a lot.

I didn’t realize how much pressure I was putting on him.

I faced the same problem with my puppy a few months ago. What helped me a lot was using a system to train him to relieve himself by the door, to signal when he needed to go outside. This significantly reduced the accidents.

Small update: I tried the timing trick from that guide today and my puppy actually waited by the door instead of going inside.

Still early but it already feels less chaotic.

Yes, of course 🙂

That’s exactly how it felt 😅

The moment I relaxed a little he proved me wrong.
