Murdoch learning how to p**p on command. ❤️ we teach all our puppies to potty on command and you can too.
If you have a puppy that you are housebreaking, try making a “potty pen” outside. It does not have to be big, enough room for them to potty and get out of the dirty zone.
Once they go in the pen (as long as it is safe and they cannot eat anything) stay out of it and just boringly repeat “potty” for urine, and “finish up” for p**ps. Once they do their business, have a celebration and give them lots of love and play time afterwards. A big mistake people make is to end potty with going inside. How boring! It inadvertently teaches the pup to hold it longer so they can get more out time!
And yes, this works on all pups, differently abled or not.

The weather going back and forth may also be frustrating your dog too.  This back and forth of hot and cold temperat...
