More Info
Inside you’ll find the importance of management, why dogs go where they go, when a puppy is most likely to need to pee, realistic expectations, and what to do about regressions.
When you hear “housetraining,” you might automatically think “puppy,” but that’s not always the case. Sometimes adult dogs need a refresher course due to age, health conditions, or new environments.

Veterinarians/Veterinary Technicians
Help your clients address the most fundamental training task—housetraining, with this simple, easy to follow booklet. A great addition to puppy packets and puppy socialization classes. Accidents in the house are profoundly frustrating and disruptive to owners; veterinarians are in a perfect position to help their clients get on the right track before problems develop.
Shelters, Rescues, Foster Homes
We all know the first question asked about a dog: “Is he potty trained?” The answer should be “Not in a new house!” Way to Go increases the chance of a successful placement by helping new families understand that all dogs need to know where the bathroom is and gives them a blueprint to train any dog where and when to go.
Breeders
Breeders all around the country provide their buyers with Way to Go to create a smooth transition from life in the litter to life in a new family. Another, more comprehensive resource for your clients is The Puppy Primer, which covers house training, socialization and the first stages of family dog training.
