Success Story: Solving Potty Training Problems With Our Smart but Stubborn Pup

Apr 24, 2025

Shelby’s Success Story: From Potty Training Struggles to Confident Companion

When Shelby’s family first came to DogSports4U, her parents were feeling frustrated and stuck.

“We were having trouble potty training Shelby. She is very smart, but was not grasping the concept. In addition, we wanted her to obey and have manners around our other 9-year-old Labrador.”

Like many puppy parents, they were looking for a solution that went beyond basic training—a program that would help Shelby thrive not just in the home, but in a multi-dog household.

Choosing the Right Team

With so many options out there, it was Olga’s expertise and the glowing reviews that made all the difference.

“I chose DogSports4U because I read all the reviews and was impressed by Olga’s experience and her willingness to cater a program that not only worked for our puppy, but also our schedules.”

Our personalized approach is exactly what Shelby needed, and it’s something we pride ourselves on—crafting custom training journeys that meet the needs of both dogs and their humans.

The Puppy Day School Experience

Shelby was enrolled in our Puppy Day School program, where she received daily, hands-on guidance from our experienced training team.

“We loved working with Olga and her team. It was a difficult decision to leave her with a trainer all day, but she has the most amazing team and Shelby learned so much and had fun doing it. More importantly, we also received the training we needed to further develop her learning and our confidence.”

At DogSports4U, we believe that great dog training includes the whole family—because lasting success comes from consistency, support, and teamwork.

Life After Training

Now, Shelby is a transformed pup.

“Shelby is obeying her commands flawlessly. She is walking perfectly on a leash and is a more confident dog. We could not be more pleased with the results.”

Her family has already set their sights on the next stage of training—and they know exactly who they’ll call.

“We plan to do more advanced training when she is a little older and will definitely seek Olga and Irene’s help. Irene was wonderful with Shelby and she, as do we, miss her already.”
