I have 2 Shaded Red Girls ready for families.

If we have spoken before and I have not reached out, please message me. I will be going through good dog applications tomorrow. They are both very lovely, snuggly and affectionate. They both have great biddability, drive, confidence, focus and would probably be good for dog sports.

Potty training isn’t hard. People just aren’t realistic.

Let’s simplify this.

Your puppy:
• Has a small bladder
• Doesn’t know where to go yet
• Needs repetition and timing

That’s it.

Accidents don’t mean your dog is stubborn.
They mean:
• You waited too long
• You missed the pattern
• You gave too much freedom

Most people expect a puppy to “get it” in a few days.

Then they get frustrated.

Potty training works when you:
• Take your puppy out often (more than you think)
• Watch for patterns
• Stay consistent

It’s not complicated.
It just requires patience and a plan.

If you’re frustrated, check your expectations before you blame your dog.

Stop Guessing—Create a Schedule

If your puppy feels chaotic, it’s because their day is.

Puppies don’t thrive on freedom.
They thrive on predictability.

A simple schedule solves most early problems:
• Potty accidents
• Biting
• Overstimulation
• Poor sleep

Your schedule doesn’t need to be perfect.

It just needs to exist.

Think in patterns:
• Wake → potty → eat → potty → activity → rest
• Repeat throughout the day

And here’s the key:
That schedule should grow with your puppy, not stay rigid forever.

As they mature:
• Time between potty breaks increases
• Rest becomes more natural
• Freedom expands

Without a schedule, you’re reacting all day.

With a schedule, you’re leading.

Structure creates calm. For you and your dog.
