Other people have made some very good suggestions. I personally don't like pee pads. I think it can be a bit confusing for the dog to understand why one soft surface in the house is OK to piddle on, but every other soft surface is off limits. I prefer the dog believing it is never, ever OK to piddle in any location with a ceiling over it. However, I understand it's not always feasible for apartment dwellers to hustle a puppy outside. Using a nappy cloth will help your child to understand their body signals. By putting a cloth into your disposable nappy, you can give your child the opportunity to connect to what their body is doing. Being aware that they have weed is the first step to being aware of when they will need to wee.

You have given her too much freedom. No three months old puppy should be free in the house. She should be on a leash, tethered to you at all times, except for play time, eating and sleeping and only if she has peed before. You might find attending one of our NCT New Baby courses helpful as they give you the opportunity to explore different approaches to important parenting issues with a qualified group leader and other new parents in your area. Soiling is nearly always caused by a physical rather than a psychological or behavioural problem. However, the stress of living with this issue can cause behavioural changes in children. Almost all children can learn to be clean and dry. Children with special needs such as delayed speech, autism or a physical disability may find the process more challenging. Most children are ready to master potty independence and lead in many parts of the process from around 18 months. The majority of children will be capable of doing most things including wiping by themselves when they start school.

Taking your time leading your child through the preparation and practice stages should help to avoid the most common potty training problems.

Very few children wake up one morning and announce they want to stop wearing a nappy! It's a bit like expecting a child to be able to run before they've had a chance to crawl. If you think your child is showing signs of readiness, it’s time to get equipped and be prepared for potty training. Get started by putting out the potty or toilet training seat and explaining what happens next. The longer they wear nappies, the harder it may be to introduce a new place for them to wee and poo. Therefore, it's important not to put off potty training for too long. Ofsted’s most recent annual report referenced the amount of children starting school unable to use the toilet properly as a big concern. These words help to eliminate potty power struggles, shows trust in your child and gives them the confidence to listen for signals in their body and act on them. As best potty training books go this is a great one. Jamie tells it like it is and leaves room for error, because we're all learning.

They also need to be able to sit on the potty and get up from it when they’re done, and follow your instructions.

Focus on getting your child potty trained during the day before you start leaving their nappy off at night.

Supporting children with additional needs

When you are ready, tell your child it is time to stop using nappies. You may like to help your child to say goodbye to their nappies and explain that from now on, they will do all their wee and poo in the potty or toilet. Try to stay calm and not put pressure on yourself or your child. It's fine to only do what feels manageable for you both - it's all part of their learning process. You don’t need to abandon potty practice, just pause until your child is feeling better or more willing. If your child's nappy is dry or only slightly damp when your child wakes for a few mornings in a row, they may be ready for night-time potty training.

Leave a potty where your child can see it and explain what it's for. Children learn by watching and copying. If you've got an older child, your younger child may see them using it, which will be a great help. It helps to let your child see you using the toilet and explain what you're doing. Using your child's toys to show what the potty is for can also help. You need to start over from scratch on housebreaking since she clearly doesn't understand what you are trying to teach her. Two of our three dogs were housebroken without pads at all. We were diligent about scheduled trips outside (after naps, after meals, after play seesions). We made sure we learned their signals and took them when they told us they needed to go. Javelin never voided his bowels inside and only urinated inside once or twice maybe four times tops when we were in places that weren't familiar to him and he had not yet generalized that outside means always outside. Make sure your child can rest their feet flat on the floor or a step when they're using the potty or toilet, to get them in a good position for pooing. I think you might find the situation easier to manage if you put your little girl on a schedule and watch her like a hawk. As Vita suggested, take her out hourly once you get vet clearance. She can't pee on your couch if she has an empty bladder. Don't let her onto the couch or any carpeted area unless she has just peed. Then only let her stay there for 20 minutes. More time than that, and her baby bladder will be starting to fill again. If you want to keep playing with her, move into an area with an easily cleaned floor until it's time for the next outing. If you are too busy to watch her, put her into her crate or playpen. Eventually you'll start to get an idea of how frequently she really needs to pee, and you can give her more couch time.Children with an additional need often need more support with learning to use a potty or toilet, but we recommend following the same 3 step process: preparation, practice and then stopping using nappies.
