We make housebreaking easier by introducing crate training and potty bell use early in your puppy’s development. From the very beginning, puppies learn that their crate is a calm, positive space, and they are encouraged to ring a potty bell before going outside. This structure helps form consistent habits, making the transition to your home smoother and faster. While some adjustment is expected the first few nights, most puppies are sleeping soundly through the night by the end of their first week with their new family.
Training Timeline:
Newborn – 4 Weeks: Puppies are gently introduced to short crate sessions while their area is cleaned.
3 Weeks: Litter box training begins, encouraging early cleanliness.
4 Weeks: Puppies start using the doggie door by following their mom in and out, reinforcing the instinct to keep their living space clean.
4 Weeks: Formal crate training begins—puppies spend short periods alone in a crate with a soft chew to encourage calm independence.
5 Weeks: Treats are tossed into the crate to build positive associations with going in willingly.
6 Weeks: Time in the crate is gradually extended, helping them build tolerance and comfort.
7 Weeks: Crating duration continues to lengthen, supporting nighttime routines.
8 Weeks: Puppies can comfortably rest in their crate for 6–7 hours at a time, quietly and cleanly.
This intentional, step-by-step approach means your puppy arrives well on their way to being housebroken—confident, comfortable, and ready to adjust to your home routine.
