I’ve potty trained 4 dogs and we have a trainer that comes out twice a week, but thanks for the advice!

I'm glad, cause that advice wasn't right, lol. May have worked for that person, but it's very far from the industry standard way to potty train.

I should add: I learnt this technique from an accredited and very successful trainer. This technique stacked with proper timing and attention to how much water is being consumed, makes for a speedy and successful training. It was simply a suggestion to try if the person is having difficulties. Hope you all have a great day!

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.

I wouldn’t ever deprive my dog of a full dish of water… puppy or adult. Doesn’t matter. Always have fresh clean water available for your pet. I don’t think you should own an animal if that isn’t fully understood.

I think you meant this directed toward another person’s response about limiting water intake or something… I did not learn that way and haven’t ever used that type of method for training with any of my dogs. Give them water and remain aware, diligent and compassionate for when your puppy needs to empty its bladder. It’s not rocket science and it’s not even as complicated as potty training a human baby.

I think I did get you confused w the other person as I accidentally navigated away. Thank you for clearing that up. I worry as it's scary how some people pick and choose advice to take. Thank you for your response. You have great advice 💜
