Travel Tips
If your puppy gets wiggly or restless in the car, they likely need to go potty.
Pull over safely and offer a quick break—this keeps car rides positive and helps avoid accidents.
⸻
Public Safety
Please do not place your puppy on the ground in public places until they are fully vaccinated.
Areas such as parks, pet stores, rest stops, and sidewalks can carry Parvo, a highly contagious and potentially deadly virus for unvaccinated puppies.
Keeping your puppy off the ground during this stage protects their health.
⸻
Potty Bell Training
Begin this on day one:
Gently take your puppy’s paw, tap the bells, and say “Go potty.”
Take them outside immediately. Consistency builds confidence!
⸻
Growing With Your Puppy
As your puppy gets older, they will naturally go longer stretches between potty breaks.
Stay consistent and calm—routine builds security and confidence.
Say Puppy puppy puppy and they will come. Don’t chase a puppy it makes things worse.
