Potty training tips for twins?

I am at my wits end with trying to potty train my 3 year old b/g twins. I’ve tried the rewarding them, taking them to the bathroom every hour on the hour and nothing is working. They are not telling me when they have to go. It’s all on me. Does anyone have any potty training tips multiples?

I agree with the woman who said "DON’T USE PULL UPS! This is confusing" and I believe it is, I have daughter who is 33 months and we are in the same boat. I put pull ups on her at night and shes lazy in the morning and doesn’t want to go on the potty when she first wakes up. However, I put panties and rubber pants over them and she doesn’t have any accidents all day long. I have tried everything bribery wise, it doesn’t seem to help. I even offered a puppy & a 4 wheeler. LOL!

Does anyone have any potty training tips for a 2 yr old?

my daughter just turned 2 and i am trying to potty train her. i can get her to sit down on the potty but i just cant ever get her to go in it.

Don’t ask if she has to go, just take her every hour.
Get a potty chair and let her decorate it with stickers.
Get a potty DVD like Elmo and let her watch it everyday.
Reward with clapping, singing, jelly beans and stickers.
Get rid of all the diapers and pull ups except at night.
Let her pick out her own big girl pantys.
If she isn’t showing any interest, wait a month and try again.
Going to the potty should not be stressful, it should be fun.

Potty Training Tips for 2 yo! Anything will be helpful. She was doing good for 3 days then we all just stopped?

Now she is all about diapers. She got lazy, I got lazy and trying to do it all over again she is rebelling and doesn’t want to use the potty.
She uses pull ups as diapers!

The thing with potty training is that kids do get lazy once in a while and need a little break from it. At least in the beginning. The best thing for you to do is not get frustrated with her about it. If she thinks she needs a diaper tell her no, that she’s a big girl and doesn’t need a diaper. Eventually she will tell you that she needs to go to the bathroom, after holding it as long as she can. In that instance you just have to be more stubborn than she is. The other thing you can do to try and encourage her to start going again is taking her into the bathroom and telling her that if she tries to go on the potty that you two can play a game together or something she really loves doing. I don’t recommend using food as a reward for potty training only because once she gets full she’s not going to care about the snacks or the potty. Potty training is such a hard thing to do and it’s a huge learning curve not only for kids, but parents too! The best thing you can do is make it a good thing (never scold her for not using the toilet) and being consistent in using it. Which I know is easier said than done.

Good Luck

Successful potty training tips?

I want tips to train my 21/2 year old son.. when in home I never put the diaper and take him to toilet every half hour and remind him to do the PP.. sometimes he does PP in toilet but most of the accidents happens and he hates Potty trainer… I make a big deal when he does the PP in toilet and give him treat..

I am planning to put him on preschool once he turns 3 by then he needs to be trained

all kind of Tips and suggestions welcome.. Thanks in advance

I bought my son ‘big boy underwear’ with charachters on, and had him wear them all day instead of a diaper or pull ups…then I told him to be really careful because ’spongebob’ or whoever is on the undies, doesn’t want to get wet. Then I just did what you’ve been doing….take him every little bit to the loo and have him try….and absolutely..treats treats treats!! My son has been potty trained 9 months now and still wants treats for poo in the potty! (although he still wears pull ups at night!)

Potty Training Tips for a Pembroke Welsh Corgi?

I got a Pembroke Welsh Corgi for x-mas this year and need a little help. Right now he is about ten weeks. When he needs to go potty he tinkles right on his puppy pads but he will do his other business all over the apartment. We also take him outside but he only tinkles. Have any tips?

Ok.. first thing is first. Unless you want him to always go on the puppy pads, stop using them now. You have to train him now where you want him to go for his whole life, because he will get very used to going indoors. And I would either use the puppy pads or outside, because when using both you can tend to confuse the dog as to which area he is supposed to go. You can buy potty training aids at most pet stores that will induce the dog to go to the bathroom and just spray them in the area outside you want the dog to go. You have to pay very close attention to him and try to watch for him sniffing around, because he knows that if he goes to the bathroom when you aren’t in the room there is no discipline. Whenever you see him going to/or about to go to the bathroom break his attention with something(a can with some pennies in it works great.) Then immediately take him outside and wait for him to go. When he does go just praise him with a word, like good, or good boy, but dont get too excited because you dont want to break his attention, and when he is done going praise him like he just won you a million dollars. He will catch on very quickly as long as you stick to it, and be as consistent as possible. Also if you are crate-training him make sure to get the right size for him not too big because if its too big he will go to the potty on the side he doesn’t want to sleep. Most crates now have seperaters that allow you to make the cage bigger as he gets bigger. THEY KEY IS STAYING CONSISTENT!!! And definitely chuck the puppy pads. Oh and also, try to monitor the amount of water you give him before bed time so he won’t go while you are sleeping. If you have any other questions about training just give me a hollar!!

Oh my gosh does anyone have potty training tips for puppies?

My 9 week old American Cocker Spaniel and I are having the hardest time potty training.
I can not get a system with her being at school from 7:30am to 3:00 pm. I am having problems please help!!!! I want so much for me and her to get this down for our bond, it really is a stress for me, and her.

Your dog needs to go potty every 2-3 hours.

Dogs do not know what we expect of them unless we teach them what we expect of them. :]

At this point, your dog is a mere infant– and by going potty inside, she is not trying to annoy you and she is not being bad..she simply cannot hold herself.

While people suggest crate training, if she is alone for that many hours, and is forced to go potty in her crate.. not only will she feel that its OK to go potty in her crate; But it will no longer be her home or her comfort zone.

It’s best that you ask a friend or family member to help you out a bit here, as the first few weeks with your dog is a very crucial part of potty training.

I would NOT recommend leaving her in her crate if you are unable to find somebody to take her outside a few times throughout the day. Place her in the kitchen, rather or somewhere that if she absolutely HAS to go potty inside.. not only will it will be easy to clean up, it will NOT be in her crate, or her ‘home’, if you will.

The crate should be their comfort zone filled with their toys, and they get treats when they go in there, and its their place to sleep and be content.
I give my dog her favorite type of treat ONLY when she goes to her crate. I give her the treat AFTER she walks in on her own. Now..she gets soo excited when I say "Crate" she literally runs to it. She eats her treat and lays down for a nap no problem. It makes for a much more pleasant dog when you have company or need space or even when the dog is misbehaving, to send them to go to their crate and they really don’t mind.

People believe that it could take up to weeks or months to potty train your dog, and that may be true, for some..But all of my dogs got potty training down within the first week and a half or two.

You can teach your dog to sit in just a few days because they UNDERSTAND what we are asking of them. If you take your dog outside at all the RIGHT times..it won’t take too long for them to realize that potty and outside go hand-in-hand..

-

Take her outside first thing in the morning-any time she comes out of her crate-any time you come home, or have visitors-after you have play time-shortly after eating or drinking, or any other time she may have gotten a bit excited.
The second she is finished going potty outside, praise heavily. Whether it be with "Good girl" [Excited voicesss], or hugs and kisses, or treats, or a combination. Then take her straight inside.
Don’t let her wander around after shes gone, because we are trying to make her realize that outside is ONLY for tinkle time.
Once shes got the potty training down, she can stay outside longer.
Also, never leave a pup unattended outside.
She will get the hang of outside much sooner than simply taking her outside at your conveinence or when she doesn’t even feel the need to go.
Soon she won’t even feel comfortable going potty indoors!
This takes consistancy on your part. And mistakes are bound to happen. Don’t scold her for the wrong, rather praise her for what is correct.
Dogs grow quickly and their bladders grow right along with them! With the proper training not only will she learn faster, but you will soon find yourself looking back and laughing about it.

Good luck in your training, and all the best to you and your dog.

Need potty training tips for my 3 year old son?

My son is three years old and for the most part he is potty trained but lately he has started going potty where ever he feels like it. He knows better but he wont stop what can i do?

be a parent and punish him when he goes where he is not supposed to! oh and try to reward him for doing the right thing, its a brine but it works! we let my nephew put a sticker on a poster board everytime he used the toilet and we too one off when he didn’t. after so many we would give him a candy, like a dumdum, eventually he used the bathroom every time and then we gradually stopped giving him the dumdums.

Any potty training tips for a boy?

My son is two and half and i decided to start potty training today. So far no luck but he has been in dry underwear for almost two hours. Anytime I ask him he goes no and when i try to explain it to him he just looks at me like he does not understand a thing i am saying. any tips and also did you potty train your boy sitting down first or standing up?

He may not be ready yet. The first step is for him to understand the idea. With my daughter she knew the word potty. If someone went into the bathroom it was "daddy or mommy goes potty. There are some videos like Elmo’s Potty Time. Once he gets the concept done and there is interest you can start to try and potty train. If he doesn’t understand the concepts there is going to be a lot more wet underwear and frustration. His interest will spark more excitement when he has success. He will be upset if he is messing up and upsetting mommy but doesn’t understand what he is doing wrong.
Good Luck!

Does anybody have any potty training tips for this problem?

My son likes sitting on the potty and has peed in it a few times. My problem is that he’ll sit on it for a good 5 minutes, but when he gets up he’ll walk off and end up peeing on himself. Does anybody know how to solve this?

Instead of having him sit for 5 minutes, only allow him 1 minute of sitting on the potty time every 30-45-60min or so.(however often his pattern is) If he does not go during that minute, take him back to the potty every five minutes or so until he goes. It may take some time for him to connect the idea that going to the potty means it is time to potty, but it will come.

Good luck, this time in a toddler’s life can be really difficult for both of you.

Potty Training Tips for a 2 year old?

My son is 2 now and I would like to start potty training him. I just don’t really know how to go about doing so. I have tried putting him on his potty chair whenever I go, but he seems to be afraid of the potty. Anyone have any potty training tips that could make it easier for him and me?

Make sure he knows the concept of understanding wet and dry first. On a warmer day (summer is here, so this is a great time!), take him outside and let him run around everywhere. Keep pushing the fluids. Make sure he is wearing something that you can tell if he gets wet. Keep asking him if he needs to go. If he isn’t ready to respond that he has to go potty, he probably isn’t ready yet. I have heard there is a window at 18 months or so and if you miss that window you will need to wait. Just don’t push it. He will be ready in time if he isn’t now, but on the other hand, he may very well be ready now. Just try to be patient. I do know it is hard though. My son is two as well, and while he can tell me he WANTS to go potty, he doesn’t yet understand what is going on with the toilet, he just thinks it’s cool to sit down on his when we do. Good luck!
