If you're bringing home a new Oodle (or already have one), toilet training is probably high on your list of priorities. One of the biggest questions new puppy owners ask is whether they should use real grass, artificial grass or puppy pads during the toilet training process.

In this episode, we're joined by Cameron Mitchell from Real Grass Puppy Potty, to explore the surprising differences between real and fake grass and how your puppy's natural instincts can influence long-term toileting habits.

We'll discuss whether dogs naturally prefer certain surfaces, why scent plays such a critical role in successful toilet training and how different surfaces can either support or slow your puppy's progress.

You'll also learn why some puppies struggle to transition from puppy pads to outdoor toileting, whether artificial grass can create confusion and why odour is one of the biggest concerns for dog owners.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Do dogs naturally prefer real grass over artificial grass?
• Why scent is essential for successful toilet training
• The biggest differences between real and fake grass from your dog's perspective
• Whether artificial grass can make toilet training more challenging
• How puppy pads can affect the transition to outdoor toileting
• The truth about smells and hygiene

• How to maintain a real grass potty area
• How often real grass should be replaced

If you're trying to decide between a real grass toilet patch, artificial turf or puppy pads, this episode will help you choose the best option for your Oodle while making toilet training easier for both of you.
