What Is Dog Training?

Potty training is one of the most important skills your dog will ever learn. At Paws & Claws, we provide gentle, structured potty training support designed to help puppies—and older dogs—build consistent bathroom habits in a positive, stress-free way.

With over 20 years of hands-on experience working in veterinary settings, kennels, and home-based pet care, Sherita uses proven routines, clear communication, and one-on-one supervision to guide your dog toward reliable bathroom behavior.

We focus on consistency, praise-based training, and creating predictable patterns your dog can confidently follow.

When Is Dog Training Necessary?

Potty training is essential for every dog, especially puppies or newly adopted pets still learning household routines. Even older dogs may need refresher training if they’ve experienced anxiety, changes in environment, or unclear expectations in the past.

Your dog may need potty training if:
• They are a young puppy still learning the basics
• They have frequent accidents indoors
• They struggle with routine or structure
• They get overly excited or anxious inside
• You’re transitioning them to a new home
• They need supervision and consistency during the day

Potty training gives dogs confidence, reduces stress for pet owners, and creates a clean, peaceful home environment.

What Is Required For Dog Training?

To help your dog succeed, we recommend the following:

• A regular feeding and potty schedule
• Clear instructions on your dog’s routine at home
• A willingness to reinforce the same habits at home
• Puppy pads or crates if you’re already using them (optional)
• Patience and consistency—every dog learns at their own pace

During daycare or boarding stays, we reinforce scheduled potty breaks, praise good behavior, and help build the patterns your dog needs to continue succeeding at home.
