I have an 18-month-old American Bulldog who is a jumper, very, very exuberant! She's also 75 pounds and still growing. Brooklyn spent 3 weeks at the PDA board & train program. Her handlers, Jack and Caleb, worked a miracle!

Potty Training in Anaheim

How Our Potty Training Method Works

Most accidents aren't your puppy's fault, they're a sign the schedule, supervision, cue word, or reward routine isn't dialed in yet. We give you the four pieces that actually move potty training fast: a tight feeding-and-elimination schedule, supervised confinement when the puppy can't be watched, an immediate reward the moment elimination happens outside, and a designated potty cue word that becomes the trigger to go. Crate training ties it all together. Most puppies on this protocol are reliably housebroken in 2 to 4 weeks, with full reliability by 4 to 6 months as bladder control matures. We also handle adult dog regression and rescue cases.
