How to Track Potty for a Dog Who Only Goes Outside
With dogs who only go outside, often only the person who took the walk knows if they went. The key habit is logging right after the walk and sharing it with your family.
Common problems with outdoor-only dogs
- There's no way to check at home whether they went.
- When the walker changes from day to day, the rest of the family has no idea if the dog went.
- You end up guessing how long it's been since the last potty.
Tips
- Log it during the walk or right after you get back, before you forget
- Note whether they went (yes or no) and the time
- Make sure the whole family can see the same log in real time
How POOPIEMATE helps
With POOPIEMATE you can log a poop or pee with one tap, even mid-walk, and the rest of the family gets notified the moment you log it. You can't check at home with an outdoor-only dog, so the person on the walk shares it right there on the spot.
