When Should You Start Potty Training a Puppy? | Quick Tips From Charlotte Dog Club

Описание: Potty training is one of the first milestones in a puppy’s life. And timing matters more than many people realize.

In this video, we explain why training should begin as soon as your puppy comes home. Typically around eight weeks of age, puppies are developmentally ready to start learning routines, building structure, and understanding expectations.

At Charlotte Dog Club, our training philosophy is rooted in preparation and patience. Puppies at this age are mentally ready to begin grasping basic concepts, and they’re also developing the bladder control needed to support early house training. Starting early helps create consistency, confidence, and clarity, for both puppies and their families.

Our trainer Jackie begins working with puppies during this crucial stage, laying the foundation for positive habits and smooth transitions into home life. Early training isn’t about perfection, it’s about building understanding and trust.

This video highlights how training can happen naturally in calm, supportive environments, even while puppies are playing, exploring, and cuddling nearby. Learning doesn’t have to feel stressful. When approached with care, it becomes part of everyday bonding.

The goal is simple: set puppies up for success and help families feel empowered from day one. With the right guidance, potty training becomes less intimidating… and a lot more achievable.
