UGODOG Potty Training Begins!

So how soon can puppies start potty training?   As soon as they can walk!  

This afternoon I realized our Schnoodle puppies are mobile enough that they can climb onto our UGODOG.  So I got rid of the plastic kiddy pool that had been their whelping box and bed for the first few weeks..   I configured our pen so that it would be a mere 2X4 foot rectangle. (It can enlarge to a full 2X8' rectangle...but that is too big for the puppies right now)   I put the puppy blanket on one side, and the Ugodog on the other side.

Puppies naturally want to walk away from their bedding to eliminate.  So by giving them a suitable potty spot very early in life, it helps them to learn clean habits from the beginning.



The wonderful thing about the UGODOG, is that once the puppies go pee pee, it falls through the grate, and there is little opportunity for the puppies to step in it.   I found that as soon as I gave the puppies their UGODOG, they started using it right away.
Dante wants to give the Ugodog a try.
I took the photo below, about 20 minutes after introducing the 19 day old  puppies to the UGODOG.
I lifted the grate to see if we had any results and look what I found!

At 19 days old, our puppies are still unsteady on their feet.  But they already have the right idea:)  Our puppies are so awesome....and so is our UGODOG!
