Welcome to your simple, stress-free guide to indoor potty training. The Welpe Dog Potty Tray is perfect for small spaces, senior dogs, or busy pet parents who want a cleaner, more hygienic home. Let’s start building healthy habits, one paw at a time!
Setting up your Dog Potty Tray is straightforward and can be done in just a few minutes. Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to help you get started:
Attach the non-slip protectors to the bottom of the urinary storage base. This will keep the tray stable during use.
Fit the grille securely on top of the urinary storage base. Simply place it in position, and it will rest comfortably.
Click the wall in the four designated openings in the grid. The wall should fit easily.
Place the column on the grille in any location that suits your dog’s needs. It can be moved and adjusted as needed.
Training your dog to use the potty tray can be a smooth and rewarding experience with the right steps. Follow this simple guide to help your dog confidently adapt to their new indoor potty routine.
Pick a quiet, consistent location in your home where your dog feels comfortable. Avoid moving the tray around during training.
Guide your dog onto the tray after meals, naps, or playtime. If your dog is used to pee pads, place one on the tray to help with the transition. You can also use a potty training spray to encourage use.
Every successful use deserves praise! Offer treats or affection to encourage your pup to return to the tray.
If using a pee pad, change it regularly. For solid waste, remove it with a scoop and rinse the tray with water. A pet-safe cleaner helps keep odors away.
01
Give your pup time to sniff and get familiar with the potty tray. A relaxed introduction helps them feel safe and comfortable.
02
Stick to a regular schedule and be patient, accidents happen! You can also use safe attractant sprays to guide them to the right spot.
03
Encourage potty time after meals, naps, or when they usually go. This builds a routine they can trust.
04
Praise or treat your dog each time they get it right! Short, positive sessions help reinforce good habits, especially for small breeds.
Creating a consistent routine is one of the most effective ways to ensure potty training success. Encourage your dog to use the potty tray at regular times, especially after meals, naps, and play sessions. Because small dogs have smaller bladders, they may need more frequent potty breaks. Pay attention to their schedule and adjust as needed to help avoid accidents.
Even with the perfect setup, potty training doesn’t always go as planned, especially for senior dogs or pups just starting their indoor routine. But you’re not alone!
Whether you’re guiding a puppy, shifting from outdoor habits, or fine-tuning your dog’s potty routine, little hiccups are completely normal.
With a bit of patience and the right support, you can turn potty training into a stress-free and positive experience for both you and your dog.
Here, you’ll find practical solutions to common challenges, so your dog can feel confident and succeed with their Welpe Dog Potty Tray.
Start by placing the potty tray in a quiet, low-traffic area where your dog feels safe. Let them sniff and explore the space without pressure. You can place a familiar item nearby, like a favorite toy, to help ease the transition. Over time, this area will become part of their routine.
This is common when a dog isn’t yet confident using the tray alone. Try sitting nearby during non-potty times to normalize the area. Gradually step away as your dog grows more comfortable. Reinforce independence by praising or treating your dog when they use the tray on their own.
Accidents happen, especially in the early stages. Gently guide your dog to the tray right after an accident so they make the connection. Stick to a consistent schedule, especially for small dogs who need more frequent potty breaks. You can also use safe attractant sprays to help them locate the right spot.
Keep a predictable potty routine by taking your dog to the tray after meals, naps, or play. Watch for signals like circling or whining, and guide them to the tray. With repetition and patience, consistency will follow.
Introduce the Dog Potty Tray alongside your usual outdoor potty times. Use familiar commands and reward your dog for using either spot. To ease the transition, try adding a piece of artificial grass or a used pee pad inside the tray to simulate the outdoors.
If your dog is hesitant, start with just the tray and a pee pad. Once they’re comfortable, slowly reintroduce the walls. If needed, return to the basic tray setup and reintroduce in steps. This gradual training helps dogs adjust without stress.
This can happen if your dog hasn’t made a clear association with the tray as the potty spot. Clean up thoroughly to remove lingering scents and place the tray where accidents happen. Try guiding your dog to the tray more often and reward them immediately for using it correctly.
The Welpe Dog Potty Tray includes a splash guard and optional post designed just for leg-lifters! Encourage your dog to use the tray with the post in place, and reward them when they aim correctly. The high back panel also helps contain splashes.
If your dog is chewing the tray, it could be due to boredom or teething. Offer a chew toy nearby to redirect the behavior. Supervise during early use and give positive reinforcement when they use the tray appropriately. The tray’s double-layer design also discourages chewing once they adjust.
Say goodbye to messy accidents and hello to a stress-free, hygienic solution that suits any home. Enhance your dog’s well-being and simplify your life.
