Dog Roar

Potty Training in Chicago

Potty on command. Reliable indoor and outdoor cues for puppies, rescues, and service dog candidates.

Most owners have been told to take the dog out every two hours and hope for the best. That's fine for the first week of a new puppy. After that, you need a system.

We teach your dog to potty on command, both indoors on a pad and outdoors in the grass. The cue works the same way every time, in any location, on any schedule. This is also a hard requirement for service dog candidates. A working dog has to relieve itself when asked, not when it feels like it. Same training, just held to a higher standard.

What's included

  • A clear potty cue your dog responds to in any location
  • Indoor pad and outdoor grass training, depending on your setup
  • Puppy and rescue plans built around your work schedule
  • Crate use as a tool, not a punishment
  • Service dog candidate prep for relief on command

Potty Training: common questions

What does potty training at Dog Roar look like?

Potty on command. Reliable indoor and outdoor cues for puppies, rescues, and service dog candidates. Most owners have been told to take the dog out every two hours and hope for the best. That's fine for the first week of a new puppy. After that, you need a system.

Is potty training right for my dog?

It depends on what you need. The free consultation is built to figure that out. Ray Bhimani reads your dog first, then tells you honestly whether potty training fits or whether a different service is the better starting point. No upsell, no pressure.

How long does potty training take to see real results?

Most owners see meaningful change inside the first few sessions. The full program length depends on the dog, the goals, and the format you choose. Private lessons spread out over weeks. Board & Train compresses into 2, 4, or 6 weeks of full-time work. We tell you a realistic timeline at the consultation, not a sales number.
