Puppy Culture Potluck: Ep46 - Why Puppies Pee In The House Even When They've Just Been Outside

Madcap Radio

The question comes from the discussion group for our With Open Arms puppy owner course:

“Looking for a podcast - Hello! Our 15-week-old puppy is presenting some potty training challenges…While he's reliably house-trained for bowel movements, he frequently urinates on rugs, likely because they resemble the puppy pads he's familiar with. More puzzling that even when we take him outside at the recommended intervals, he'll pass small amounts of urine and then refuse to empty his bladder fully, even after 10+ minutes. Inevitably, within 20 minutes of coming back inside, he'll urinate on a rug.

He's very able to stay in his kennel for a full 2-hour nap with no anxiety or accidents. So he certainly is physically capable of holding his bladder.

We are not sure what we are doing wrong or if this is just to be expected and to be patient. It does seem like he thinks that the rugs is the place to pee. Let me know if you have any tips! ”

This podcast covers:

  • Why being able to take a two-hour nap without peeing does not mean a puppy can hold it for two hours while awake
  • Why “double and triple peeing” is really a developmental thing
  • The physical reasons puppies may target fabric to relieve themselves

00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,040
I'm Jane Messineo Lindquist.

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,560
And this is a Puppy Culture
potluck podcast.

3
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,160
You bring the topics,

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,160
we bring the conversation.

5
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:22,840
This episode's question

6
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,840
is from our discussion group
for our puppy course,

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,480
and it's about house training.

8
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:30,840
I'm just going to read the question

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,440
because it folds in a lot of interesting
topics.

10
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:36,880
Hello.

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,200
Our 15 week old puppy is presenting
some potty training challenges.

12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,960
The breeder started him on puppy pads.

13
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,760
We've transitioned him to a litter box

14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,800
and are following the Puppy Culture
training protocol.

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,840
However,
we've encountered a persistent issue

16
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,240
while he's reliably house
trained for bowel movements,

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,360
he frequently urinates on rugs,

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,120
likely because they resemble the puppy
pads he's familiar with.

19
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,640
More puzzling than that even,

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,040
when we take him outside
at the recommended intervals,

21
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,760
he'll pass small amounts of urine
and then refuse to empty

22
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,440
his bladder fully,
even after ten minutes or more.

23
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,960
Inevitably,
within 20 minutes of coming back

24
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:27,960
inside, he'll urinate on a rug.

25
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,960
This pattern repeats daily.

26
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:34,400
We are not sure what we're doing wrong,

27
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,920
or if this is just to be expected
and to be patient.

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,000
It does seem like
he thinks that rugs is the place to pee.

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,600
Let me know if you have any tips.

30
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:46,320
Okay.

31
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:48,680
Me again.

32
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,280
First of all, the double peeing

33
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,400
is totally a thing
and we do cover it in the course.

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,200
And I did tell her to go back
and listen to that section again.

35
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,400
But let me just say,
this is a very classic pattern

36
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,560
where puppies get control
of their bowels first, because remember,

37
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,800
she said he seems to be able
to hold his poop, but not in his pee.

38
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,680
But then they go through this phase
where they'll pee outside

39
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,640
and then come inside
and pee right away, again.

40
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,560
Now, you know,

41
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,640
they'll always say,
rule out the physical first and

42
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,080
for sure, if this is a puppy that has been

43
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,080
not double peeing, in other words,
has been relieving himself outside

44
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:42,120
and then coming in and not peeing again
in 20 minutes, and all of a sudden he's

45
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,480
coming inside and peeing a little bit
frequently every ten

46
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,680
15 minutes,
you know, that is probably a UTI.

47
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,960
And you do want to check that box off
and get a, you know,

48
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,440
a urine sample in for a urinary tract
infection.

49
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,400
And I'd be leaning more that way,
as I say, if it was a regression.

50
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,040
But this, I confirmed it
with the student, was not a regression.

51
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,120
This is just the way that this puppy is.

52
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,080
The puppies never really been able
to fully relieve himself outside

53
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,880
and then go for a long time
inside without urinating.

54
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,320
But then the student wrote

55
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,320
in, in response to my advice,

56
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:28,200
and this is what she said.

57
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,600
Thanks for this info.

58
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,360
I will be sure to ask about UTIs
at his next visit.

59
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,320
There is some additional info that to me

60
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,440
makes it seem less likely to be a UTI, ie.

61
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,200
We've been doing the puppy kegels
for a few weeks now, and he's very able

62
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,640
to stay in his kennel
for a full two hour nap with no anxiety

63
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,640
or accidents.

64
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,280
Okay, so me again.

65
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,440
First of all, puppy Kegels is a phase

66
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,440
in our house training system where

67
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,080
you're starting to challenge
the puppy slightly as far as holding it.

68
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,160
I'm not going to go into the whole thing.

69
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,400
It's in the course.

70
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,040
But the point is, in this student's mind,

71
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,560
the fact that her puppy could sleep

72
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,880
for two hours in a crate
without needing to pee equals

73
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,240
he should be able to be loose in the house
for two hours

74
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,280
without needing to pee,
which is not at all true.

75
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,720
Holding

76
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,920
your bladder or your puppy's bladder

77
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,280
while you sleep is completely different
than holding your bladder

78
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:43,280
or your puppy's bladder
while you're active.

79
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,600
When we or our puppies sleep, our bodies

80
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,720
produce
increased levels of antidiuretic hormone,

81
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,800
which greatly reduces urine output.

82
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:02,000
So if you think about how many times a day
you need to pee during an eight hour

83
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,040
work day, when you go into that office,
how many times do you go and pee?

84
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,400
A lot.

85
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,400
I would venture to guess
more than once or twice.

86
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,400
I would venture to guess, it's
a lot of times.

87
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,640
Yet most of us sleep through the night
without peeing

88
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,640
or we pee only once.

89
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,680
This is why your puppy

90
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,760
has to pee more frequently during the day.

91
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,400
And this is also why your puppy pees
when he comes back in

92
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,920
the house and he's excited.

93
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:33,880
The fun

94
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,320
and excitement of being inside,
especially if playing

95
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,520
produces adrenaline
which sensitizes the bladder.

96
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,520
So it's not only a question
of the production of urine

97
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,920
not being suppressed,
the bladder is actually activated.

98
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,720
So it's a very long way of saying

99
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,600
that it's normal
for a puppy to hold it while sleeping,

100
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,440
yet legitimately still pee in the house.

101
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,720
Just as an aside,
some people don't produce

102
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,560
a lot of that antidiuretic hormone,

103
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,560
and they need to get up many times
a night to pee.

104
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,040
But normally
most people won't need to get up at all.

105
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,640
Or maybe once they'll get up.

106
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,080
Yet another aside,
as you and your dog age,

107
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,200
you often will produce less of that
antidiuretic hormone at night,

108
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:36,960
which is why older people and dogs
often need to go more frequently.

109
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,600
But the
main point here is that sleeping in

110
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,080
a crate is a biological context

111
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,080
that is very, very different
from being awake and active.

112
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,920
And it's completely normal for a 15 week
old puppy to pee outside

113
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,520
and then come inside and pee again
within a few minutes,

114
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,880
especially if he's playing or excited.

115
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,280
Those states of emotional arousal
stimulate the bladder

116
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:10,440
and urine production, and make it harder
for the puppy to hold it.

117
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,960
I'm going to put aside

118
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,680
specific advice for house training
because that's what the course is about.

119
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,000
But I want to reassure any puppy

120
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000
owner listening to this that

121
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,520
for a 15 week old puppy,
double pees are normal.

122
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,760
A puppy's ability
to hold urine depends on the context,

123
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:39,120
and you can't set the bar
for how long a puppy can hold urine,

124
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,080
by how long he can nap
without needing to get up and pee.

125
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,280
Now, the thing that I did not

126
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,280
talk about yet
is the peeing on the fabric.

127
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,040
And that really is a thing.

128
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,120
And it can be a thing for two reasons.

129
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,720
The first,
and more universal reason is that

130
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,000
puppies naturally don't
want urine splashing on their feet,

131
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:11,080
so they won't like peeing on hard surfaces
like floors

132
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,360
where the urine could either splash
on their feet or roll on their feet.

133
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,280
So they're going to seek out things
that are soft

134
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,280
that will absorb that urine.

135
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:23,080
Also.

136
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,760
And we point this out in the puppy course,

137
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,920
they'll often look for deeper substrates.

138
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,920
So when they're outside,

139
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,840
they're going to want to go
into a little bit of a deeper grass.

140
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,760
And when they're inside,
they might want to go into something

141
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,000
like a crumpled blanket or something
that has a little depth to it.

142
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,080
That seems to stimulate the urination.

143
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,200
It's a trick if you're walking your puppy
and he won't pee.

144
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,720
Try getting him into a little higher
grass.

145
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,280
Just having that tickling feeling on his
abdomen often will stimulate him to pee.

146
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,800
We have a whole area in front of the house
that has pachysandra,

147
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,240
and whenever I have to take my puppies
to go out some place, like into the car,

148
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,320
I'll always take them to the pachysandra
to pee first.

149
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:13,880
It becomes almost a conditioned
emotional response for them.

150
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,240
To the point where my adult dogs
that I'm taking to go in the car,

151
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,240
I just take them over to that pee patch
where the pachysandra is,

152
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,600
and they immediately pee.

153
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,000
Now, the other thing

154
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,440
about the fabric that can be a problem

155
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,320
is if the breeder has used

156
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,440
fabric pee pads for too long.

157
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,120
We use fabric pee-pads
in the whelping box.

158
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,760
And then when we transition
our puppies to the weaning pen,

159
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,920
we start by lining the weaning pen
with those fabric pads.

160
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,480
But we fade them very quickly

161
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,360
because if you leave them down too long

162
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,600
and the puppies
get used to peeing on fabric,

163
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,520
they can wind up targeting
fabric to pee on.

164
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,160
And you don't want that.

165
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,520
I mean, it's a handy thing
to have them understand

166
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,600
those pee pads again
as they get older and incontinent.

167
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,720
Or if you ever have to leave them
for a space of time

168
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,720
and you just want to put down a pad
for them to pee on,

169
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,160
it is a handy thing
to have in your back pocket.

170
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:26,280
But as a

171
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,680
breeder, you do want to fade them quickly
because otherwise

172
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:33,440
you can wind up having a puppy that looks
for things like quilts to pee on,

173
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:36,560
which is not helpful for the puppy owner.

174
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:40,320
There was one

175
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,840
final thing
that the puppy owner brought up

176
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,600
that she thought her puppy
was only marking outside

177
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,760
and not peeing
because he would pee a little bit outside

178
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,920
and lift a leg actually, at 15 weeks

179
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,920
old, sometimes.

180
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,440
I can't say I haven't seen the behavior
with the puppy.

181
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,560
I think 15 weeks is very early

182
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:09,640
for a puppy to be lifting their leg,
but it's not unheard of.

183
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,360
However, I think

184
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,360
if the puppy's not relieving himself
fully,

185
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:21,040
it has more to do with being super excited
being outside.

186
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,000
Ten minutes may seem like a long time
to you, when it's cold outside

187
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,680
and you're waiting and trying
to get that puppy to pee, but you know,

188
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:33,640
a lot of puppies are just too distracted

189
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,400
to really eliminate
when they're outside fully.

190
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,880
So again, that can contribute
to that double peeing,

191
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,880
peeing a little outside
and then peeing again inside.

192
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,400
And like I said,
there is the physiological thing of it

193
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,560
takes a while for that wiring to happen
where they really can

194
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:54,560
fully evacuate their bladder.

195
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,480
I will say that

196
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,120
when I'm taking a puppy
someplace that I anticipate

197
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,280
is going to be an exciting event,
like class,

198
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,080
you know, I'm going to try
and get them to pee before they go in,

199
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,880
but I'm going to expect

200
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,000
they're not going to pee
before they go in, they’re too excited.

201
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
They just want to get in the building.

202
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,560
But I am also going to expect that
within 5 to 10 minutes

203
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:26,880
of being in that building that need to
urinate is going to overtake them.

204
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,440
So, when I'm taking a puppy to a class,

205
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,840
I will try and get them to pee outside,
bring them in the building

206
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,840
for 5 or 10 minutes,
bring them outside again

207
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:44,280
nine times out of ten that second trip
outside is when the puppy's going to pee.

208
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:49,320
And if it doesn't happen the second trip,
I will try it again in 5 to 10 minutes.

209
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,360
You know,
this is really what we teach in our puppy

210
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,600
training course is that you
kind of have to roll with the punches.

211
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,840
This is why we say always

212
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,320
give your puppy access to a good option.

213
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:09,480
This is why we use a litter box to an age
when a lot of people would say,

214
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,200
oh, you know,
this puppy could be house trained.

215
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,440
He doesn't need a litter box,

216
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,720
but we never want our puppies

217
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,200
to be put in a position
where they don't have a good option

218
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,120
and yes, theoretically,

219
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:29,920
you could cover all the bases with a 15
week old puppy and do all the right things

220
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,000
and make sure that they stay out
long enough that they pee,

221
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,000
or you bring them in
and then bring them out again.

222
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:38,440
And, you know,

223
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,800
you could cover all these bases
if you are watching the puppy constantly.

224
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,360
But really, how miserable is that?

225
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,480
And how likely are you to succeed?

226
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,160
So my ultimate advice to this puppy owner,

227
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,280
or to anyone who's experiencing
something similar,

228
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,960
is that; A.

229
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:03,640
Double pees
where the puppy goes outside and pees

230
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,640
and comes back inside and pees right away
again,

231
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,080
are developmentally normal.

232
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,160
B. A puppy's ability

233
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,160
to hold urine depends on the context.

234
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,520
C. You cannot set the bar

235
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,920
for how long a puppy can hold urine,

236
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,360
by how long he can nap in his crate
without needing to pee

237
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,640
because it's a different
biological context.

238
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,720
And, D.

239
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:42,640
Because there is this legitimate
developmental period where the puppy is

240
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:48,000
in a state of flux, where sometimes
he can hold it and sometimes he can't.

241
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,320
Sometimes he's going to be able
to go outside and fully

242
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,360
evacuate his bladder, and sometimes he's
not going to be able to,

243
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,560
and he's going to come
and pee in the house right away again,

244
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:04,240
because sometimes they're puppies
and it's cold and they don't want to

245
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,560
go outside.

246
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,240
It's dark and they're scared
and they don't want to go outside.

247
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,680
It's raining, it's windy,
and you don't want to stand outside.

248
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,280
Because of all this,

249
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,320
you need an indoor potty area

250
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,720
for this puppy,
so he always has a good choice

251
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:28,240
until he just matures out of this period,
which he will.

252
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,160
He will mature
past this developmental period.

253
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,240
If you just don't push too hard
on the intensive

254
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,240
phase and ruin it,

255
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,440
because once you push the puppy
to the point where

256
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,480
he gets in the habit of peeing inside,
now you have a real problem.

257
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,600
Right now you don't have a problem.

258
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,720
You have a puppy, legitimately,

259
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,000
that is in a developmental phase
that you can deal with.

260
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,040
If you don't give the puppy
a good option inside and he continues

261
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,640
to pee inside - now you have an adult dog
that has a habit of peeing inside.

262
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,800
So again,
it's counterintuitive for people.

263
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,840
They think they're winning if they can get
rid of the potty area faster.

264
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,840
But hand to my heart, trust me,

265
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,840
I've done it scores of times.

266
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,880
Keep the potty area
until the puppy is reliably going outside.

267
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,360
He will potty train himself.

268
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:29,680
