  • Break training into three easy steps:
    • Let your dog get comfortable around BrilliantPad
    • Encourage your dog to explore on BrilliantPad

     Tips and Troubleshooting 

    • Be patient, consistent and positive with your training. Punishment is counter productive. Instead, give you pup lots of praise, treats and affection. Focus on encouraging and rewarding good behavior. 
    • To facilitate training, use confinement training and put your dog on BrilliantPad:
      • When your dog wakes up
      • 10-15 minutes after eating
      • After playing
      • Anytime you notice pacing, circling or sniffing
    • Practice "Sit!" and "Stay!" commands to distract your dog from any motion or sound coming from the machine. This technique will promote greater acceptance when you are not home.
    • Always praise your dog after using BrilliantPad. Consider keeping treats near your BrilliantPad and get ready to unleash your inner cheerleader: Go! Dog! Go!
