I used the pheromone spray (a few squirts randomly throughout the day) for the first bark potty and removed all the surrounding rugs, but didn’t need to do much training other than that. My dog picked it up in a few days after all the other soft surfaces were taken out of the surrounding area. Every morning, first thing we would do after waking up is play a little bit of fetch to get her body going, and I would throw her toy in the direction of the bark potty. Then by the third throw, she would run towards her toy & bark potty routinely just do her morning business, then I would treat her right away. I’d repeat every 4-5 hours or when I felt like she might have built up a full bladder. In a few more days it became habit by the 2nd then 1st throw, to when she would just automatically know that was her ok-to-potty zone. She’s had a small handful of accidents on other rugs in the first 2-3 months, but definitely fewer and far between. I have put my hallway runners back and they’ve remained unsoiled for over a month now, which is huge progress. The one complaint I have is that with heavy use, it does start taking on a weird enzyme-y urine smell that gets quite strong after the 3rd week, but it has saved us from the unseasonably rainy weather here lately- which is a lifesaver because my girl does NOT do well in the cold & wet.
I absolutely love this product! It's great for an apartment pup and fits right on our balcony. Summer days are too hot and winter nights are very cold. Having a Bark Potty is the perfect solution to avoiding these intense weather elements and I would definitely recommend this product to everyone!
Not only dogs use the bark box, cats use it as well! No scrubbing every couple days because it smells. Bark box hides the odor even for stinky cat pee.
Our puppy took to the Bark Potty right away. She uses it when we are home and we take it with us when we travel. It definitely holds up to all the hype and then some. We like that there is no smell because it absorbs so quickly. Thank you guys for such a great product. This sure beats having to change out the unsightly, "old school" potty pads!
I was moving to a second floor apartment and searching for the best way to handle Jimmie's potty breaks; my senior Schnoodle was used to using our ranch house doggie door his entire life.
After searching online, I found Bark Potty and thought it would be perfect if it really worked. Training wasn't a picnic but he is treat motivated and I was determined and, two sleepless nights later, he got it!
Jimmie weighs 19 lbs. so I order the standard size which fits perfectly in his kiddie plastic swimming pool that I put on the balcony. I bought a round, elastic edge, plastic tablecloth and beach ball to cover the pool so Bark Potty stays dry when it rains or snows. If there's a bad storm, I cover my floor in front of the balcony door with a shower curtain and slide the swimming pool inside until the storm passes so Jimmie doesn't get drenched. Bark Potty has been the perfect solution for us!
