The Dog Owner’s Book of Poop & Pee – Kansas City Potty Training Resource

Struggling With Potty Training? A Kansas City Dog Trainer Explains What Actually Works

If you’ve ever struggled with potty training your dog, you already know how frustrating it can be.

Accidents on the carpet. Mixed signals. Taking your dog outside only to have them “hold it” and then go the second you come back inside.

That’s exactly why I wrote The Dog Owner’s Book of Poop & Pee.

This isn’t an announcement. It’s a resource.

Potty training is one of the most common reasons families reach out for help — especially here in the Kansas City area. And most of the time, the issue isn’t that the dog is stubborn.

It’s that the system isn’t clear.

Dogs thrive on structure. When you track patterns, manage timing correctly, use crate training appropriately, and build clear communication systems like bell training, accidents drop dramatically.

Inside the book, I cover:

• How often puppies realistically need to go
• Why tracking “number ones and number twos” actually matters
• The role of crate training (without creating stress)
• Bell training done correctly
• What changes as puppies mature
• Why setbacks are normal — and how to adjust

This is the same structured approach I use with private clients at KISS Dog Training.

If you’re local and want hands-on help implementing the system, you can learn more about working with a dog trainer in Kansas City here:

If you prefer to work through it on your own, the book is available in print, audio, and eFormat.

K.I.S.S. Dog Training was voted Best Dog Trainer in Johnson County (2023 and 2025) for a reason: simple systems that owners can actually implement.

Potty training doesn’t require magic.

It requires clarity, repetition, and consistency.

Keep It Simple, Stupid — because complicated doesn’t work.
