Hi! When you are out and about can they potty on the grass? What do you do in those situations

Nikki Wunderlich

I might be getting a puppy and was wondering how you would recommend teaching things like potty training and sit stay down as well as doing socialization things do you have a app you use or how do you play the different sounds for the dog

DOGGY•U

Hey Nikki! Check out my welcome video for details on how you can search by keyword or check out collections to find the topics you're looking for. Regarding sounds, I just put them into youtube and play it off there.

Yes - I just try to choose low-traffic spots. Example: on my ride home from IL to CT I found spots that weren't dog-heavy. It took a bit more time but worth the risk reduction.
