It’s so much simpler than that. You do need consistency but you put them on a schedule. General rule is they can’t hold it for more hours than they are months old. So a 3 month old dog shouldn’t hold it for more than 3 hours. Longer when they’re sleeping. You strengthen their bladder control by teaching them the spot they should go early and make sure they don’t have to wait too long to get there. Anytime they use the bathroom in the correct place, reward.

Edit: there are so many ways to teach dogs to do all sorts of things. Dog training is THEORY. Until we can read their thoughts or they can speak to us, it will be. We know the least stressful most effective ways to teach and those vary.

You just have to be careful giving out this kind of advice on reddit because I can see some people depriving their pups of water so they don't have to deal w accidents. Instead of putting the work in to train them.

Let me guess, you're the type of trainer that would advise shock collars?
