Bo’s Story: The Potty Training That Finally Stuck

Some families come to us with a long list. Bo’s family came with one item on it.

You can read Bo’s full review on Google – everything below comes straight from his family’s experience.

Where Bo Started

Bo is, by his own family’s description, a stubborn guy. The main reason they sent him to Off Leash K9 Training Amarillo was potty training. That was the goal. Everything else was a hope rather than an expectation, and they told us as much: they were sending him hoping to get just a little help with all the issues.

The Training Journey

Bo went through a board and train program with Logan. Living with a trainer is what makes a house-training problem solvable in the first place, because the dog is being watched and taken out on a schedule all day, every day, instead of whenever someone at home happens to notice.

Stubborn is not the same as slow. A dog who has decided how things are going to go simply needs the new answer to be clearer and more consistent than the old one, for long enough that it becomes the habit.

Bo’s Wins

Bo came home leash trained. He came home sitting, staying and coming on command. And he waits to eat until his family tells him it is time, which is a small thing that changes a household more than people expect.

The potty training is the part worth being honest about. When Bo got home, he tried to slip back into his old habits. That is normal, and it is the moment most owners give up. His family kept going, and within a week the work Logan did with Bo held. It did not fail. It just needed the family to hold the line for seven days.

What It Changed for His Family

They sent a dog hoping for a little help with one problem. In their words, he came home such a better dog. The list they never expected to fix got fixed alongside the one thing they asked for.

Why Bo’s Story Matters

House training is the problem people are most embarrassed to ask about, and the one most likely to make somebody consider rehoming a dog they love. It is also very fixable. Bo also shows the other half of the truth, which is that the first week home matters. Training does not end at pickup. It transfers.
