Noah has 2+ years experience in potty training and is now offering counseling services to other dogs looking for guidance.

Hey pups of the world, Noah here. It’s about that time when all the humans start getting mad at you pups for making doo doos all over the house. They usually get us as babies during Christmas time and are all excited because we’re so cute. By now, I bet that excitement is almost over. Now you’re getting yelled at every time you make a doo doo. I mean, really? When you gotta go, you gotta go. Anyway, since I went through all that trouble 2 years ago with my crazy mom, I thought I’d share some tips and save you guys the dog headache, it’s really not worth it.

1. Let your human put you in the scary box. They might call it a “bed,” or “cage,” or a “crate,” or my favorite, “home.” Let’s be honest here, that box ain’t home. But let me tell you, the scary box, has become my SAFE HAVEN. My mom is like, my favorite thing in the world and all, but she also annoys the poop outta me because she loves me so much. Sometimes I just need to you know… escape. The scary box is now my man cave. And I love it. Also, it really helps with that whole potty training thing the humans like. Because, let’s face it, no one wants to sleep where they poo… that’s just gross.
2. Eat your food right when the human puts it down. Listen to me. THEY WILL PICK IT UP IF YOU DON’T. And if you’re anything like me, you’ll be starving and trying to eat weird things to hold you over until dinner… like poop. But don’t do that, I have a problem I think. Do not try this at home. At first, I couldn’t figure out why my mom gave me like…10 minutes to eat, but now I know. She wants me on a feeding schedule so she can predict my doo doos and take me out so I can do them on the neighbor’s lawn and not in her room 🙂
3. Let your human put the shackles on you. Honestly, I was terrified when my mom put that thing on my neck. She calls it a leash… “What in God’s name is a leash? This is totally a shackle” I thought. My mom was trying to get me to walk with it on so I would go to the bathroom. She tried everything: treats, praise and dancing, to get me to walk with that thing on. You name it, she did it. Weirdo. One day I worked up the courage to do it. And guys let me tell you, IT IS AWESOME. Every time I poo or pee I get a treat and hugs. Honestly, I think my mom is kind of ridiculous. But I saw my friend down the street getting treats the other day for the same thing. I guess humans are just silly. That being said, MILK IT GUYS. The leash is cool. I get to go on walks and I get treats when I poop. Life is good.

If you have any questions, send me a howl. I love helping you pups. Good luck!
