I don't know if you've ever heard of Brené Brown but she has a famous talk and framework for trust, called the Anatomy of Trust. Here's a link, in case you haven't heard of it. In my humble opinion, it's an important understanding for all humans for grasp: Anatomy Of Trust She also talks about the concept of the Marble Jar. A marble goes in when trust is built. A marble comes out when an aspect of trust is removed. She talks about 7 key aspects to trust, several of which I believe also directly apply to our pets.

For all the parents out there, do you remember potty training, or toilet training, your child? It wasn't easy. There were a lot of parts that needed to be accomplished. Your child had to recognize the urge, control her bladder, know where it was appropriate to go, alert you, have the drive to go in the new spot instead of the easier, familiar spot, and so much more!
Puppies need to learn the same basic pieces. They need to learn the appropriate place, be convinced to go there instead of the easier, more familiar floor, hold their bladder/bowels, alert you, etc. See the parallels? I have come up with 5 pillars to potty training and a 3 stage plan that you can master. Let me share the questions you need to start thinking about if you are going to have any success with potty training and then we can get into learning the 3 stage process |
