  1. We have had larger dogs (well, huge dogs) for so many years. Now we have two small dogs (11 pounds and 8 pounds). We have found it was much more difficult to house train the two small ones than larger dogs. Other people have said the same thing. Don’t know why that is, but that’s been our experience and the experience of many other people. So if you have a little dog and having an issue with house training, don’t despair. They will eventually catch on!

    1. It took my dog forever too! I did not think she was ever going to catch on. I found that she had a preference. She likes rugs. I broke her of that with frequent walks. Also I feed squirrels in my back yard now so she is eager to go out there to smell new smells! Potty training little dogs is soo hard! But soo worth it!

  2. Me and my wife got a puppy a week ago and he’s had very little accidents 4ish in 8 days I say ish because one my wife put him in the crate for the night without taking him out first so that kinda didn’t count. And another he went at the back door wile I was putting on jacket to take him out so he knew to go outside I just wasn’t fast enough. So all in all he’s been really good for house for house training

  3. Potty training is always easier said than done, lol. Nova only had about 5 accidents when I brought her home at 3 months old. Mochi, on the other hand, came to me at nearly 2 years old and had so many accidents in the house the first month. But I somehow potty trained a 16-year-old blind-deaf mini poodle…

  4. Thanks Zak & Bree for keeping it real. So often my clients’ will comfort their dogs at night cuddling & soothing to where their crate training for nights goes seriously south. Looking forward to seeing how Biscuits does. Thanks for the new series. Loved your comments about socialization is not about being Social, but about being accepting of their environment. Thanks!

  5. Zak: Believe me, this is so refreshing compared to other YouTube dog trainers who simply just pull, tug, jerk and generally teach the dogs to be scared of the trainer. Keep going please as you just cannot go wrong !! Thank you so much 😊

    1. I got a dog from the shelter who was confused about going outside. He pooped right by my bedroom door. My other dog came out, got startled and took 2 steps back. She looked at me like, “What the heck is this?” She wouldn’t go over it. Reminded me of the movie ‘The Skeleton Key.’ “You lay the brick dust down, your enemies can’t cross.”

  6. Have always given my dogs treats when they go in an appropriate area then repeated “go potty” followed by “good dog”. Eventually they all go on command. Some people will say do you want to have to have treats all the time to which I respond, for the convenience, Hec Yeah! Most dogs will eventually go on command for just a “Good Dog” and maybe an occasional treat reinforcement. Very handy in bad weather or at hotel rooms with specific dog potty areas or before getting into the car. I just wonder if other people do this.

    1. I have all of my dogs trained to potty on command. I just got a dog that I am teaching. The entire time she is going, I am standing there, feeling foolish, repeating the command. All of my dogs know that around 9pm, they go out and they get a treat before bed. I have a dog on meds, so she would get a treat anyway. Sometimes they try to get away without going by circling back. All I do is point and say, “go” and they go back out and finish.

    2. Treats totally backfired for mine lol. She would fake going (squat but not going potty) or interrupt herself to get the treat. So we stopped doing that after a few days. I just used the verbal encouragement of “good girl, potty outside!” helps her get the idea now too when we are in a rush.

  7. She did such a good job at the park! We have a small dog that is high energy and leash pulling is definitely an issue. She is just so excited to explore the environment and it’s hard to avoid accidentally reinforcing the tugging with her 10 pound body. Great tips to see how you are managing that with Biscuits. Side note: Inertia’s face during that peeing accident Biscuits had in the house is hilarious

  8. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my puppy watch the TV so intensely than her watching this episode! Especially when Zak says YES I think she thinks it’s for her.

  9. Zak really said “the welfare of the puppy comes first” about the crate training as if he didn’t want those adorable puppy snuggles! I mean, who wouldn’t!

  10. Love this Zak. Bree you got this. You need to think like a puppy brain not a 34 year old human brain. Loved how Inertia is looking at Biscuts thinking. You shouldn’t be going potty in here.

  11. I went to puppy classes at local Petco, and I feel like I wasn’t taught as much as what you’ve taught on your channel. My rescue dog has pretty bad fear aggression, and I wish I corrected her earlier to prevent this.
