How long did your pups take to master the "Go Potty" command?
Which would you recommend training for first--outdoors, or puppy pads?
Do the scent-infused puppy pads actually work? |
I cannot remember how long it took for Sophie Kate to learn the command, I do know it was not right away and I had to remember at first to say it even if she went before I said the command (once I noticed she was going I would say the command).
I started with outside first and we were having a hard time getting it correctly. This is why we brought in a professional trainer and had her evaluated (problem was I was not keeping a schedule). It seemed that once she understood the command the inside Pad part came easy, just placing her on the pad and stating the command.
Remember at first the most important thing to remember is do not move the pad.
