Potty training and potty breaks in the winter can present extra challenges. Continue to follow the potty training gold standards of crating, direct supervision, setting timers (pottying within 20 minutes of eating, drinking, playing, waking up), starting the walk/fun after pottying, and feeding high value treats as soon as your dog finishes pottying outside. Our tips below are designed to help you survive potty training and potty breaks in snowy, rainy, wintry mix weather.

Are you entertaining family and friends in your home more now than before? Whether it’s for football watch parties, Sunday brunch, or upcoming holidays, these events can present a big challenge for our dogs. So what do you do if you have an upcoming gathering where there will be lots of people in your home and you are concerned about how your dog will behave?
