Problems solved by technology

There are typically many accidents during the training period of the puppy.

Previous training methods make use of a single wire crate or compartment in a large room that do not accommodate the physical requirements and a safe training area for the puppy.

Training a new pet puppy about household items and to urinate or defecate at a specific site or time requires patience and may require weeks or months of repetitive conditional training and supervision.

Previous training methods make use of a single wire crate or compartment in a large room that does not accommodate positively reinforced household training of the pet and its biological urges or habits.

However, many puppies have pain when required to unnaturally “hold” urine and waste products for extended periods of time or overnight.

It may be difficult for puppy owners who live in houses or apartments without backyards and grass to satisfy their household pet's physical and biological needs.
