How to Litter Box Train Puppies and Dogs

[@aprilfoolsbb1]

We have been using this method to raise pups for years. It works great and I tell owners to put the pine pellets in the yard in the "spot" to help transition potty training and it really helps. It's really the best method out there.

[@OliveAndJackie]

Thanks so much for this comment. Ill be litter training my next chihuahua.

[@FloridaFortify]

Life changing! Considering a dog soon. This is an amazing option for dogs to release while I’m at work.

[@xradelox]

Please adopt your new dog from a shelter or rescue group 🥰 They’re all SOOO full of animals that are sweet and loving and need a new home. So many people adopted during COVID and now everyone is dumping them back at shelters because they’re going back to work 😢

[@nobodyyouknow7226]

​@@xradelox Why don't you do it then?

[@xradelox]

@Nobody You Know: I sense sarcasm in your question, but I’ll give you a sincere answer. Because I’m not in a position to get an animal. But I was able to foster 41 kittens and 3 momma cats last year at my old apartment. And I work for a local shelter and volunteer at another one and also for a rescue group in my area. I also helped over 50 cats and dogs get fixed last year just by doing outreach and transporting pets to and from spay/neuter appointments. I also spent $700 on a friend’s two dogs to get their teeth done (one had 6 teeth pulled and the other had 15 pulled) which added years to their lives and increased their quality of life tremendously. I also do outreach in the form of educating pet owners whenever I have the opportunity to, to help them provide better quality food and setups for their pets. I also helped a pet sitting client see multiple issues that were plaguing his dogs and he was able to get them properly cared for, resulting in better quality of life and longer lives (dental cleanings, deworming, treating their ear-mite infestations and getting them neutered). You asked your question like I’m someone who just sits behind a screen, telling other people what to do but not acting in any way myself. But as you can see, I do my part and beyond.

[@waynewilson4640]

(Suzie) Our puppy was litter box trained and made a great transition to our home. We got one of those big square white things that you put under a washing machine for leaks. We put in horse pine pettets and have it in the garage...no smell, no mess, she knows where to go and feels safe there. We don't have to go out at night, when it's raining, in the morning when the grass is all wet. We put one in the basement at our summer home and she goes down all by her self!!

[@fishboy1248]

As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home kzbin.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.

[@aquajuwel7098]

I live in a house with a garden here in Norway so my dogs roam free, but I must say, this idea is super smart especially for people with smaller dogs in apartments.

[@pikake2283]

Thank you so much for this! I got my Chi yesterday and when used she peed on the puppy pad I moved it to the litterbox and added a light sprinkle of the pellets to get her used to it. Now 4 days later- the box is completely filled with her litter pellets and she hasn’t used the bathroom elsewhere! I loved your teaching!

[@crystalray4149]

Thanks so much for this information, because I’m getting my Yorkie in September, and this is what I wanted to do. Thanks 😊

[@serranosx5]

I’m going to be a brand new Shichon Mama in February and because I work this will be my plan...but my question is will a box trained puppy potty outside if you are out and about say at the park or beach?

[@BestInShowBitch]

@@serranosx5 Absolutely! Mine go outside in the yard on the regular. The litterbox is fabulous for crappy weather days, (hurricanes here in Florida) and for more city dwellings where getting them outside might take a but longer. Congrats on your little one btw 😉

[@GodsDevelopmentPlan]

Hi sis, can you please let me know how you and your Yorkie do. I’d like one too and my bday is on the 10th of this month....trying to talk hubby into getting me one, but I’d like to hear someone else’s experience with a Yorkie

[@alexisasheep6554]

Great for when you can't make it back home for a lunch walk. No regular accidents, no harm done to the bladder of the dog and all that. When you get home you can go on a good walk and play without worrying about the rug or that they've been holding it in for too long.

[@microwavedmetal]

It actually make sense. Litter takes in smell. It’s great even if you work from home and busy. The dog can relive themselves instead of waiting for you.

[@sunshineammorgen1365]

I used this litter vor over 12 years for my Cats. Brought a 8 weeks old chi puppy home on Saturday . I hope it works. Thank you for posting.

[@whitetrashandhellbound6905]

I don't know why this hasn't been a thing for alot longer lol makes sense... I can't believe I never thought of it 🤯

[@chimney_mountain]

Ok, I never thought of using the litter from Tractor Supply ! This is going to save us so much money over the Second Nature litter that we potty train our puppies with. Thank you so much for sharing !!!

[@BestInShowBitch]

T floridaokiegal You are so very welcome! Yes second nature is an amazing product but equine pine is much cheaper!!!

[@tegueggu]

I’ve definitely been looking into this a lot as my older dog has developed some issues and my dogs will NOT go to the bathroom when it rains. I’m glad to hear about a breeder using it too because I want to breed in the future! This is a great video and I’m very grateful for it.

[@xradelox]

If you love dogs and puppies, please be a foster for a local shelter or rescue instead of breeding ❤️ Mother dogs with litters are always in desperate need of a foster home because raising a litter in a loud, crowded shelter is very stressful. Depending on the area the shelter is in and how completely stuffed they are with animals and trying to care for them all with very little resources or help, many times Mother dogs and cats are euthanized along with their litters because the shelter does not have the space to care for them or the two months it takes for them to grow to adoption age. This is not the shelter’s fault! This happens because people don’t spay/neuter and because they buy and breed instead of adopting and fostering. PLEASE foster. You’ll be saving lives instead of contributing to the death tolls by breeding even more animals into an already overwhelmed pet system. (Side note: The shelter or rescue you foster through will supply you with all you need to care for them so you don’t have to pay for anything!)

[@tegueggu]

@@xradelox I support responsible breeders.

[@xradelox]

I agree that there’s a huge difference between breeders that care about their animals and the genetics they pass on as opposed to puppy mills and backyard breeders. My point was that at this point in time, breeding in any way adds to a very overwhelmed pet population. When a person buys a puppy/kitten/hamster/Guinea pig/whatever (even from responsible breeders), now that person is not going to adopt a homeless animal that is happy and healthy and just as deserving of life and a home. And when shelters keep getting animals pouring through the doors but not enough foster homes and adoptive homes step forward, then the shelter is forced by the community members to euthanize animals to make room for more coming in. So while there is a big difference between breeders that love their animals and care about the genetics they’re passing on vs backyard breeders and puppy/pet mills, at THIS point in time, ANY breeding results in more deaths. So there really is no such thing as “responsible breeding” right now. When every animal born equals an animal dying, that’s not being responsible. If I had the circumstances to have a bunch of dogs around my home, I would go to FL and CA every few months and pull small dogs from shelters there (because they’re so prolific in those areas) and bring them to the area I live in (because small dogs are rare in shelters in my area compared to larger breeds) and I would get them vetted and put them up for adoption. I would love to be able to help save those little lives. Look at it this way: the average litter size for small dogs is what? Like 5 puppies? If you had to shoot 5 dogs to death before you could breed your dog to sell her 5 puppies, would you do it? Could you really look into their eyes as you pull the trigger? Well that’s what’s actually happening when people breed. For every animal born, another animal dies. That’s not responsible at all.

[@tegueggu]

@@xradelox educate yourself on the reality of responsible breeders. If you work on shutting down BYBs and puppy mills instead of people that are one if not THE biggest help during this time, then maybe you’d see a difference in shelter populations. Responsible breeder’s animals will never end up in a shelter. A lot of responsible breeders work with shelters and rescues. You’re demonizing the only people that are helping the public get healthy, forever protected and planned animals instead of stopping the actual problem. And news flash, if they stop breeding, there will no longer be any animals.

[@xradelox]

I got an email reply from you but I don’t see it in the thread here but I still wanted to address a few points: “TeguEggu xradelox educate yourself on the reality of responsible breeders. If you work on shutting down BYBs and puppy mills instead of people that are one if not THE biggest help during this time, then maybe you’d see a difference in shelter populations. Responsible breeder’s animals will never end up in a shelter. A lot of responsible breeders work with shelters and rescues. You’re demonizing the only people that are helping the public get healthy, forever protected and planned animals instead of stopping the actual problem. And news flash, if they stop breeding, there will no longer be any animals.” Of course our biggest goal IS to shut down backyard breeders and puppy mills and to have other people spay/neuter their pets so they don’t have unplanned litters. Like I already said, I KNOW there’s a huge difference in the quality of care for those animals and animals cared for by decent breeders. I also know that decent breeder’s animals hardly ever (but I won’t say never) end up in shelters. HOWEVER, as I’ve already said, when someone buys a puppy from a decent breeder, now that buyer is not going to go adopt a homeless animal from a shelter or rescue. Animals don’t have to actually enter the shelter system themselves in order to affect the animals that are already there. In a perfect world, no breeding would be done on accident or by selfish people and millions of animals wouldn’t be dying every year due to homelessness. But we aren’t in a perfect world. ANY animal born, no matter who the breeder is, takes up a home that could have gone to a homeless animal that’s already alive. As for your other argument about if breeders stopped, then we wouldn’t have anymore animals, there really is no concern in that area. Not only will there ALWAYS be other animals (super sweet and social ones) from other rescues in other countries that need homes that could be brought here and adopted out after vetting and quarantine, but we also really should revamp how we look at dog breeds (and by extension any species bred in captivity, like Skinny Pig Guinea Pigs, Persian Cats, Munchkin Cats, etc). The vast majority of breeds are SO deformed with such exaggerated features and those poor animals born into those bodies are in constant pain and always suffering because of it. In my book, you can’t say you love animals and then breed them on purpose to be deformed. Pugs, Frenchies, English Bulldogs, American Bullies and all their varieties, Great Danes, Dachshunds, Basset Hounds, ShihTzus, Sharpeis, Apple Head Chihuahuas, Persian Cats, Munchkin Cats, Skinny Pigs, the list goes on and on and on. None of those breeds should be allowed to be bred anymore. Look up Kenny the white tiger and compare his face to a healthy tiger’s face. Then look up an English Bulldog and compare it’s face to a wolf. What are your thoughts when you see Kenny? Do you think he looks healthy and good that way? What about the bulldog? Do you think that’s cute? Why is it that you feel sorry for Kenny but you think the bulldog is cute? It’s the same deformity! It’s cruel to breed them that way. It’s NOT “responsible”! ANYONE who breeds animals to have exaggerated features and “rare” “unique” colors ALWAYS ends up with health issues attached to those features. You cannot separate breathing issues from a flat face. You cannot separate join pain and back issues from long bodies with short legs. You cannot separate skin issues from wrinkly skin. I don’t know how else to say it. Most breeds should not be bred anymore so that the breed can be allowed to die out over time. Then in the far future when there is no longer an overpopulation problem and we’re able to consistently help homeless animals in other countries, THEN we could start breeding programs for new breeds that are bred with excellent HEALTH, and TEMPERAMENT as the goals instead of exaggerated looks. THAT is being responsible. Breeding the way we are now (regardless of how well the parents and offspring are loved and cared for) is NEVER responsible. Responsible = doing what’s right for the animals. And breeding based on looks is never right.

Seeking advice, I have an 8 year old chihuahua who has been going outside to do his business his whole life. We’ve been living in a house with a fenced in yard, so all I have to do now is open the back door and he can take as much time as he needs. We are about to move into an apartment and would love an effective indoor potty option for those moments where I won’t be able to take him out to the green space myself. For context, we lived in an apartment a few years back and I bought a tray/faux grass setup. He was too anxious to even go near it

Sounds like for 10 weeks old your little one is doing really well!!! My recommendation would be to place the pad under the litter box to see if that pulls them in that direction. If that makes sense? Also pick up stool and place it in the box giving them a que to go there. The key is to get this scent in the box so they know where to soil. I would definitely do you scheduled feedings and then watch them like a hawk for the PP dance. You know, where they start doing the whole circle thing. Pick them right up and put them in the box. I am awesome heard of people taking a soiled pad I am placing it in a portion of the box to bring the scent in.

Will they still do their business outside if we take them? We are thinking to leave the box for while we are out. What do you think?

[@BestInShowBitch]

Yes! They will still do their business outside. They will know the difference. Inside the box outside the grass or whatever they have to potty on

Any tips on litter training an older small breed dog?

[@tanyamhami]

Love your video! Any suggestions for a puppy that loves to go on softer material - like my rugs and potty pads? 😡😩😢

[@BestInShowBitch]

Thank you so much!!! Yeah, sounds like the pup is pad trained (hitting the rugs is one of the downfalls of this training) first I would pick them up until training is solid. Try placing a piece of their stool in the box to kind of point out where you want them to go. If the pad is large enough, place it UNDER the box as well 😉

Does the pellets clump so you can lift the waste out like clumping cat litter?

[@amberalupton]

My Shih Tzu is seven months old and I have been trying to litter box train him all this time. He will poop in the litter box but so often peas outside the litter box. He also would rather sleep in his litter box than anywhere else. Can you help me? Please! thanks

I have two year old chihuahuas that are rescues how do I train them

[@BestInShowBitch]

Are they currently trained to go outside? Go on a potty pad? Are you trying to convert them to a litter box? Honestly, I would pick up their stool and place it in the litter box. Give them kind of a hint that’s where you want them to go. When they start to do the whole “sniffing around to potty dance”, Pick them up and put them into the litter box. You need the scent in the box to get them to go in it. Does that make sense?

[@BestInShowBitch]

@Oksana Gutierrez can I use the exact same litter box. I have found that if you have a marker… Your male likes to lift his leg… Put something in the middle of the litter box to let them "aim" for ;)

[@mkfever2005]

does it the horse bedding cover the pee and poo smell? I have toy poodle. And how long will need to replace the bedding?

[@halieoliver6719]

May I get the link to the bumper beds? Thank you!💜🐾

[@sarajcory7425]

My cat is litter box trained (with the Mallards pellets like you have). Will puppy and cat go together?

[@SinfulKitty]

What litter box is this

[@thee_edward_]

I just like how the fist dog using the liter box was like "Um excuse me, Im in the toilet?!😳😨

[@BernadetteAliceaWarner]

My puppy keeps laying in the litter box how do I stop from doing this?

[@StregnthShows515]

I need help. I have a chihuahua who I got as a puppy but I failed and started her in potty pads but she’s not even going on them, she goes wherever she is, now she’s almost 2 and she’s peeing and pooping everywhere, she doesn’t like going outside in the cold (Colorado) and she sleeps with me (which we both love) can I still train her to use the litter box?

[@lldolls]

Are they harmful if the eat them? My last dog we trained with clumping cat litter, what besides the cost is the benefit of using these pellets?

[@alissahague4779]

When you bring your puppy home and begin this training, do you keep the litter box in his bed area like you show as he grows up(im talking for a small breed) or do you have to separate their bed and food from th potty area? Thi s looks amazing for when I will be gone for 8 hrs or so!!!

[@VivianResnick]

I'm so glad I found this video! I have a litter of puppies I'm raising for my sister and the breeder. I'm going to try with these puppies. Also, my sister has an older chihuahua that needed rehoming. Unfortunately he is peeing all over her house. Think there is hope for him to learn?

[@BestInShowBitch]

Please let me know how it goes! Starting them as young as you can is the best way! And when it comes to older males I have found that if you put something in the middle of the litter box for them to “mark “it inspires them. If possible I would recommend some thing glass because it’s easy to wash and it will not retain any urine smell. Unlike plastic. Unless you use something inexpensive and plan on throwing it out and replacing it

[@VivianResnick]

Will do! Headed over to amazon to get my supplies. Wish me luck!

[@throughthicknthin2287]

@@VivianResnick How did it go?

[@VivianResnick]

@@throughthicknthin2287 Fantastic! Lucy whelped the 3 babies all on her own like a champ! Puppies are now 5.5 weeks old and the cutest things on the planet!

[@harumiru]

What if I want to start litter training my dog but I also have cats? My cats already use the pellets in their litter boxes so I worry that the cat will try to use the dog's box and it will mess with their training.

[@m.fontaine2901]

Did you ever have any issues of UTIs and the dogs using the same litter box?

[@gp7493]

Hi! Does the pelletized bedding help with odors?

[@BestInShowBitch]

It keeps the odors down when you pick up the stool. I do change out my boxes weekly. Granted, I have multiple dogs

[@snoozinginsomniac]

What about an adult dog? My dog is 7 and I used puppy pads for a few years out of necessity, but it just taught him to go pee on carpeted areas when I'm not looking (and as a result he now has pretty frequent accidents if I don't take him outside OFTEN).

[@aidejimenez6795]

i have the same problem with my adult dog 🥲

[@GoCrazyBaby3]

My family dog was litter box trained and for a while I didn’t know other dogs weren’t. I always wondered what people did when they went to work. It feels bad that they have to hold it for 8+ hours

[@sherrieroggero9206]

Can anyone please tell me how safe this is with chewing puppies?? I’m afraid they will eat the pellets. Thank you in advance!
