| When can I say she is potty trained? Ella is soooooo close to being potty trained but I dont want to actually SAY she is and jinx it!!! I honestly think that the trick was staying outside the very first day we got her until she went potty. That was the first place she went and she got so much praise for it that it seemed to stick with her. (That along with keeping my eye on her every move and catching her in every attempt to have an accident ). She has only had like 10 accidents (I think). She has been so good. I dont even use treats when she goes- I just get really excited and tell her how good she is I think she is getting annoyed at my enthusiasm now she just kind of stares at me now lol... She is like okay mom.. I get it. You can stop freakin out everytime I potty where I am supposed to.... Ok Ill stop rambling So my question is when do you say your pup is potty trained? Like if she doesnt have an accident for ___ amount of days or something??? Is there a magic number that means she will have practically no more accidents for the rest of her life????? When did you consider your baby trained?

Thor's Human Donating Member | I have heard for a puppy, thirty days "clean" = potty trained. Thor is an adult, and he's gone more than thirty days between accidents, but the accidents still happen. I guess at this point he will need to go ninety days before I call it.

But to answer your question, I'd say if she hasn't had an accident in 30 days...she's trained. The next trick is to get her to let you know when she has to go outside. GOOD LUCK!!!

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Niyah only had one accident in the house since I got her but as soon as we started walking the next day, she has been going outside ever since. I cannot believe how smart these dogs are. My Samoyed had way too many inside accidents and I still don't trust her and she is a year old. I keep her in my living room so I have an eye on her. My son sometimes sneaks her upstairs in his room but I bring Apple right downstairs. The last sammy I had, took about 2 yrs because they are so immature EVEN as an adult.
