As I was pulling weeds in my garden, I was thinking about what to write for this week’s blog post. That’s when I began to wax poetic about the similarities between pulling weeds and dog training. Bob Bailey’s mantra, “Think Plan Do” works for both gardening and training!

Potty training and potty breaks in the winter can present extra challenges. Continue to follow the potty training gold standards of crating, direct supervision, setting timers (pottying within 20 minutes of eating, drinking, playing, waking up), starting the walk/fun after pottying, and feeding high value treats as soon as your dog finishes pottying outside. Our tips below are designed to help you survive potty training and potty breaks in snowy, rainy, wintry mix weather.
