@popcornthelab: Trying to potty train your puppy while working a 9–5 isn’t m impossible, but it IS different than if you’re home all day. It IS (probably) going to take longer. Your puppy probably WILL have more accidents inside. That doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong, it just means it’s probably going to take a puppy a little longer to learn and you’re going to need to be VERY patient with your puppy. Remember, you’re learning together! Here are some things that help: ✅ Crate training with a solid routine ✅ A midday potty break (or a backup plan) ✅ No pee pads still if that’s not your long term plan! I’d consider a Fresh Patch if absolutely necessary. It’s just less confusing for your puppy. Now we’re still being realistic. If you cannot afford a grass patch, you CAN use pads…. I just need you to hear me when I say potty training is going to be harder and it’s not puppies fault. ✅ Structured mornings, evenings, and weekends. Any time you can structure, do it. ✅ Grace. So much grace. You’re doing the best you can, AND so is puppy. 📌 Save this post if you’re navigating puppy training with a busy schedule, and drop a 🥲 if you want me to write a ‘trainer’s note’ for your boss so you can get PTO to potty train your baby (Joking 😬 I wish it were that easy 😩) Have you potty trained a puppy working a 9-5? Drop any advice you have below! What worked? What didn’t? #puppytraining #pottytrainingtips #newpuppy #puppytips
