Potty Park – Dog Potty Training Just Got Easier #JustJanuary

January 10, 2013 by Amber {contributor}

potty park

We have had our dogs for a few years now, and potty training them has always been a tough job. We have tried everything from puppy pads to taking them outside. It all seems to work sporadically, with some accidents mixed in. So, we decided to try out the Potty Park! And we honestly believe that this method of training dogs is definitely the best one that we have tried so far.

Potty Park: Official White House Dog Potty

 

The Potty Park a contraption that looks like grass on top, where your furry friend would “do their business.” There is a compartment in the bottom that then holds the urine. You then empty the tray. If your dog goes “#2,” simply clean it up as you normally would. The Potty Park is anti-bacterial and anti-microbial. So, not only is it easy to clean, but it is also probably a lot safer than pee pads. Think of all the money that it also saves you from the repeated purchase of puppy pads!

So, why don’t you take your dogs outside all the time, you might ask? Well, sometimes it’s icy and/or really cold. Our chihuahua shivers even when it’s 75 degrees. I highly doubt he will enjoy a pee stroll at 20 degrees. Also, when we go on trips, if our dogs are trained to solely go outside, I definitely don’t want our little furry friends to feel like they have to hold it until we get back! How awful! If they are trained to use the Potty Park, they have no problem. 🙂

Potty Park

 When first setting up the Potty Park, you will find an instruction manual that tells you everything you would need to know about how to train your dogs to use it. The Potty Park also comes with a special spray that is intended to attract your dogs attention to the Potty Park. When first trying out the Potty Park, I will admit that it took some patience. In order for it to work, you need to keep your dogs on the Potty Park until they actually use the bathroom. Afterwards, you praise them and give them a treat! The first time, I had to wait about 45 minutes. The second time, it only took about 30 minutes. After a few days of training, our dogs are now using the Potty Park on a very consistent basis, way better than they every used puppy pads and we are very pleased! The Potty Park is also a lot more appealing to look at than the unsightly puppy pads ever were. 🙂

The Potty Park grass looks pretty real, doesn’t it?

    the one thing I’ve had trouble with training my puppy.. if I don’t wake up in time she poops outside of the door that leads to the backyard!

    They are so stubborn when it comes to potty training. And the little one (they are both Lhasa Apso’s) really loves to pee on rugs, not on our hard wood floors…..go figure!

    My biggest problem has been other family members giving the pup too much freedom and not enough supervision early on.

    My biggest problem was when I lived on the top floor of a 4 story apartment complex and didn’t always make it down the stairs before they went potty. Also being available to take them out was a problem and how to correct them when they were stubborn.

    As your dog urinates on the green grassy Potty Park™ surface, the urine drains through a pattern of designed openings, which empty into a secure reservoir at the base of the Potty Park™ unit.
    I just Love this …my pup Eco would too.

    No real big issues but sometimes it’s hard to catch them in the act indoors and teach them otherwise.

    i would question whether dogs would use it but it is Enhanced with pheromones to attract your dog…this would be great my cocoa bug…he lets us know with cute little spins and barks when he needs to go but when we arent home he has had a few accidents but i know that he just couldnt help it and this would be great for him to be able to go when we arent home 🙂 the website even has a dog that looks just like our little cocoa bug so its meant to be lol 🙂

    I have a chihuahua also…. I raise shelties….biggest house training issue is simply them waking up and having to pee before I can get the puppies outside. This would help with puppies immensely as they could use this when they needed to potty inside which would greatly help in house training. I’ve use puppy pads with puppies many times but my biggest issue with potty pads, besides how ugly they are is when puppies get bored, they want to shred them up and if they have pottied on them it makes a huge stinky mess. I have Even used the holders that go around potty pads to hold them in place but somehow babies always figure out how to get the pads off to tear up. I’ve put down a new pad many times only to come back two minutes later and find a litter of puppies playing tug of war. It would be extremely nice to have this for a litter of puppies or for my chi to use during the cold days of winter or when the weather is really nasty, like during a hurricane and event like that, this would be good to have the dogs trained to so that they could potty when they cannot go outside. Thank you for the chance to win.
