Puppy potty training, one tap at a time

Get outside before the accident.

Log every pee and poo with one tap. DogsLife shows your puppy's pattern, reminds you to go out, and learns when the next pee is likely due. Fewer puddles, a puppy who learns faster, and a calmer you.

Log every break

Pee, poo or both, outside or an accident indoors. One tap at the door, or add it later if you forgot.

See your puppy's pattern

Every break lands on today's potty timeline, so the gaps after naps, meals and play become obvious within days.

Know when it's due

Set a gentle "take them out" reminder every one to four hours, quiet at night. After 30 days DogsLife learns your puppy's own gap and shows when the next pee is likely.

Puppy potty training

Potty training, week by week

Puppies need to go after waking, eating and playing, and more often the younger they are. Here's what that looks like at each age, and how DogsLife helps you get outside before the accident.

  1. 8 weeksOut at least every 2 hours, after every nap, meal and play, and about 2 trips a night. Log each pee with one tap and your puppy's gaps show up on the timeline.Read the guide
  2. 12 weeksEvery 3 hours by day now. If accidents bunch up after play, the potty lane shows it, so you add a trip right after every game.Read the guide
  3. 16 weeksEvery 3.5 hours and usually one night trip. With Plus, DogsLife shows when the next pee is likely due and can remind you, quiet at night.Read the guide
  4. Trained, then notAccidents again after weeks of dry days are common. Your log shows what changed, and our guide walks you through a calm reset.Read the guide

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does a puppy need to pee?

Roughly every 2 hours at 8 weeks, every 3 hours at 12 weeks and every 3.5 hours at 16 weeks, plus right after waking, eating and playing. Every puppy is a little different, and your own log shows your puppy's real gaps.

Will DogsLife remind me to take my puppy out?

Yes, with Plus. Set a gentle "take them out" reminder every one to four hours, quiet at night. After 30 days of logging DogsLife also shows when the next pee is likely due.

How long does potty training take?

Many puppies are mostly reliable by 4 to 6 months, and some take longer. Setbacks along the way are normal. Logging every break shows what's working, so you can adjust instead of starting over.

Is DogsLife only for puppies?

No. It works for dogs of every age, from a new puppy to a senior. Puppy tips and potty training help most early on; health, walks and routine matter for life.

Do I need an account?

No. You can start right away without one. A free account (Google, Apple on iPhone, or email) is only needed to back up your dogs and keep them on a new phone, to share a dog with family, and for DogsLife Plus. Create one whenever you like.

Can I share a dog?

Yes, with Plus. Send your partner or dog walker an invite link, and they can see and log that dog's day on their own phone. You can remove anyone you have invited at any time. A shared dog counts as a dog on the free plan, so joining a second dog needs Plus.

How do the predictions work?

After 30 days of logging, DogsLife learns your own dog's rhythm and shows what's likely next on each lane: the next nap and bedtime, a usual meal or walk, and when a pee is due. Predictions are part of Plus.

What is free?

For one dog, sleep logging, walks with GPS maps (last 24 h), pee and poo logging, the home lanes, the journal and data export are free forever, with no ads. Plus adds more than one dog, sharing a dog with others, saved walks and route history, potty training tools, food, health, play and training, predictions, insights, reminders and the widget.

How does the subscription work?

Plus is $4.99 a month or $19.99 a year, and both start with a 7-day free trial. The price in the app always comes from the App Store or Google Play in your currency. Cancel any time in your App Store or Google Play subscriptions.

Can I track more than one dog?

Yes, with Plus. One dog is free; with Plus you can add every dog in your home and switch between them from the dog photo.

Is DogsLife on iPhone?

Yes. DogsLife is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and on Google Play for Android. Your account works on both, so you can switch phones or share a dog across an iPhone and an Android.

Is this veterinary advice?

No. DogsLife is a planning aid built from your own logs. Always ask your vet about your dog's health.

Does DogsLife show ads?

No. No ads, on Free or Plus.

Fewer accidents start with the next pee.

On the App Store and Google Play. Pee and poo logging is free and always ad-free. Plus adds reminders, streaks, predictions and the potty course.
