🐾 Kurly Ks Potty Training Tips 🐾
One of the biggest keys to potty training is consistency. Your puppy isn’t being stubborn—they’re simply learning what you expect.
Here are my top recommendations:
🐶 Take your puppy outside every hour. Also take them out immediately after eating, drinking, playing, and waking up from naps. Frequent trips outside help prevent accidents before they happen.
🦮 Keep your puppy with you at all times. If you can’t watch them, they’re much more likely to sneak off and have an accident. I recommend keeping them on a lightweight leash attached to you so you can quickly recognize when they need to go outside.
🛏️ Use a grated crate with a divider. I highly recommend a crate with a raised grate or tray underneath so that if your puppy has an accident, they aren’t forced to lie in it. Puppies naturally prefer to stay clean, and this setup helps protect that instinct while keeping them comfortable. The crate should also be just large enough for them to stand, turn around, and lie down—not so large that they can use one end as a bathroom and the other as a bed.
❤️ Expect some crying and accidents. Your puppy has just left everything they’ve ever known. Crying during the first few nights and occasional potty accidents are completely normal parts of the adjustment process.
📚 Do your research. I have a zero-tolerance policy for owners who aren’t willing to educate themselves on puppy training. There are excellent free resources on YouTube and Google covering potty training, crate training, and puppy behavior. The more you learn, the more successful your puppy will be.
🌟 Stay patient and consistent. Every accident is a learning opportunity. Celebrate successes, don’t punish mistakes, and remember that good habits are built through repetition.
The work you put in during these first few weeks will pay off for the rest of your puppy’s life. 🐾❤️
