Potty Training Without the Myths, Gimmicks, or “Quick Fixes”

Potty Training Without the Myths | Dog & Puppy Training in Kansas City

I’ll be upfront — I might be a little biased since I wrote this book — but when it comes to dog and puppy potty training, this is one area where people are often sold a lot of nonsense.

There are no magic tricks.

There are no shortcuts.

And there is no single “hack” that replaces consistency.

That’s exactly why The Dog Owner’s Book of Poop and Pee exists.

What Potty Training Actually Requires

Most potty training problems don’t come from the dog. They come from the human side of the equation.

• Inconsistent schedules
• Missed timing
• Too much freedom too soon
• Expecting the dog to “figure it out”

Successful potty training comes down to three things:

• Consistency
• Frequency
• Management on the human side of the equation

A Quick Read — With Realistic Expectations

Whether you read it or listen to the audiobook, this is meant to be a quick, practical guide that helps you understand:

• How often dogs actually need to go
• Why accidents happen even when you “did everything right”
• How to set up your home so mistakes don’t get rehearsed
• When potty training issues are normal — and when they’re not

No shaming. No gimmicks. Just clear expectations and repeatable structure.

Why This Matters for Kansas City Dog Owners

Potty training problems are one of the most common reasons Kansas City dog owners reach out for help, especially with puppies.

The earlier expectations are set correctly, the smoother the process tends to be — and the fewer long-term habits you have to undo later.

When Reading Isn’t Enough

A book can give you the roadmap. Real life still throws curveballs.
