Crate And Potty Bell Training


We make housebreaking your new puppy easier by conditioning them to love their crate at an early age and to ring the potty bell before going out the door. Duration of time is slowly built up so that by the time puppy goes home with you they are well on their way to finalizing housebreaking. Of course there will be some crying when they go to their new home, because everything is new, but they settle quickly and are typically sleeping through the night by the end of the first week with their new family.
