Over 10,000 puppy parents have used this science-backed method to train their puppies 50% faster. Here's exactly how it works.
The Frustration of Puppy Potty Training (And Why Most Methods Fail)
If you're reading this at 3 AM while cleaning up yet another accident, you're not alone. Over 68% of new puppy owners say potty training is their biggest challenge—but it doesn't have to be this hard.
The secret? Pheromone-targeted training pads that guide your puppy to the right spot every single time.
Why Traditional Training Pads Don't Work
Most training pads fail because puppies don't know WHERE to go on the pad. They might hit the edge, causing leaks and mess. Or worse, they miss the pad entirely because there's no clear target.
That's where pheromone technology changes everything.
What Are Pheromone Training Pads?
Pheromone training pads use a concentrated scent attractant that mimics the natural markers dogs instinctively seek out. The pheromones are concentrated in a "bullseye" pattern at the center of the pad, guiding your puppy to the most absorbent area.
The result? Faster training, fewer accidents, and a cleaner home.

The 7-Day Pheromone Pad Training Method
This proven method has helped over 10,000 puppy owners achieve 80% training success in just one week. Here's the exact step-by-step process:
Days 1-2: Introduction Phase
- Place the pheromone training pad in your designated potty area
- Take your puppy to the pad every 2 hours and after meals
- Use a command like "go potty" consistently
- Reward immediately when they use the pad (treats + praise)
- Pro Tip: Keep a training log to track progress and identify patterns
Days 3-5: Reinforcement Phase
- Extend time between pad visits to 3 hours
- Watch for sniffing or circling behaviors (signs they need to go)
- Continue rewarding successful pad use
- The pheromones will strengthen the association
- Pro Tip: If accidents happen, clean with enzyme cleaner to remove scent markers
Days 6-7: Independence Phase
- Let your puppy find the pad on their own
- Keep rewarding, but reduce treat frequency
- Most puppies show 80%+ accuracy by day 7
- Pro Tip: Start introducing outdoor potty breaks alongside pad training
Real Results from Real Puppy Parents

"The bullseye targeting actually works. My puppy goes right to the center every time. No more edge leaks!" - Mike T., verified customer
5 Pro Tips for Faster Results
1. Use the Right Size Pad
Puppies need enough space to turn around comfortably. Our No-Mess Bullseye Pads are generously sized for all breeds, from Chihuahuas to Golden Retrievers.
2. Keep Pads Fresh
Change pads after each use for optimal pheromone effectiveness and odor control. The micro bead technology neutralizes odors, but fresh pads work best.
3. Secure the Corners
Use the built-in adhesive corners to prevent sliding—puppies won't use a moving target. This is especially important for energetic breeds.
4. Stay Consistent with Location and Timing
Use the same location and command every time. Puppies thrive on routine. Set phone reminders for potty breaks if needed.
5. Never Punish Accidents
Punishment creates fear, not learning. Simply clean up with an enzyme cleaner and redirect to the pad. Positive reinforcement is 3X more effective.

Common Puppy Training Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them)
Mistake #1: Inconsistent Placement
Moving the pad confuses your puppy. Pick one spot and stick with it for at least 2 weeks. Once your puppy is 90% consistent, you can gradually move the pad closer to the door for outdoor transition.
Mistake #2: Waiting Too Long Between Breaks
Puppies can only hold it for 1 hour per month of age. A 2-month-old puppy needs breaks every 2 hours. A 3-month-old can wait 3 hours. Set realistic expectations.
Mistake #3: Using Low-Quality Pads
Cheap pads leak, smell, and slide around—making training harder and messier. Invest in quality pads with pheromone targeting for 50% faster results.
Mistake #4: Giving Up Too Soon
Most puppies need 4-6 months to be fully trained. Pheromone pads speed this up to 2-3 months, but patience is still required. Celebrate small wins!
Mistake #5: Not Transitioning to Outdoor Potty
Pads are a training tool, not a permanent solution (unless you live in an apartment). Start outdoor training around week 3-4 alongside pad training.

How to Transition from Pads to Outdoor Potty Training
Once your puppy is 80% consistent with pads (usually week 2-3), start this transition process:
Week 1: Move the pad 2 feet closer to the door each day
Week 2: Place pad right by the door
Week 3: Move pad outside, just past the door
Week 4: Remove pad, use outdoor potty spot only
Continue using the same "go potty" command outdoors. Bring a few pheromone pads outside initially to help with the transition.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pheromone Pads
Q: How long does it take to potty train a puppy with pheromone pads?
A: Most puppies show significant improvement within 7 days and are 80% trained within 2-3 weeks—about 50% faster than traditional methods. Full training (95%+ accuracy) typically takes 2-3 months.
Q: Will my puppy become dependent on the pads?
A: No. Pheromone pads are a training tool. Once your puppy learns the routine, you can transition to outdoor potty breaks using the method above. The pheromones simply speed up the learning process.
Q: Do pheromone pads work for older dogs?
A: Yes! They're excellent for senior dogs with incontinence, dogs recovering from surgery, or retraining rescues. The pheromones work for dogs of all ages.
Q: How many pads will I need?
A: Plan for 4-6 pads per day during initial training (days 1-3). Most puppies reduce to 2-3 pads daily by week 2. A 20-pack lasts about 5-7 days for most puppies.
Q: Are pheromone pads safe for puppies?
A: Absolutely. The pheromones are natural, non-toxic, and specifically designed for dogs. They're safe even if your puppy chews the pad (though we recommend supervision).
Q: Can I use these for apartment living long-term?
A: Yes! Many apartment dwellers use pads permanently, especially for small breeds. Just maintain a regular changing schedule for hygiene.
Q: What's the best puppy pad for large breed puppies?
A: Our No-Mess Bullseye Pads are generously sized (24" x 24") to accommodate large breeds. The pheromone bullseye works for all sizes.
Q: How do I clean up accidents during training?
A: Use an enzyme-based cleaner (not ammonia-based) to completely remove scent markers. This prevents your puppy from returning to the same spot.
The Science Behind Pheromone Training
Pheromones are chemical signals that dogs naturally use to communicate. When puppies are born, they instinctively seek out their mother's pheromone markers to find the nursing area.
Training pads with pheromone technology replicate this natural instinct. The concentrated scent in the bullseye pattern triggers your puppy's instinct to "mark" that specific spot, creating a consistent potty location.
Studies show that pheromone-assisted training reduces training time by 40-60% compared to traditional methods. It's not magic—it's biology working in your favor.
