PupShift“Who took her out last?”
Nobody remembers if the last potty break was an hour ago or three.
New puppy, one plan for the whole house.
Meals by age, potty breaks, walks and a log everyone sees. The puppy gets the same routine from whoever is home.
Your puppy learned “sit” in two days. You learned to sleep in two-hour shifts.
Before PupShift
The first weeks, in most homes
Four people, four routines
Everyone feeds and walks a little differently, so the puppy can’t learn a pattern.
“So, how is it going?”
The trainer asks, and all you have is a feeling, not two weeks of what happened.
What PupShift does in a puppy home
Potty log in one tap
Outside or Accident. Two weeks of bars, this week’s outside rate against last week, and accident-free days.
Time to go out again
After each mark, phones at home ring 1 to 4 hours later, unless someone marked again first. Quiet from 10 PM to 7 AM.
Meals that follow the age
Tell PupShift how old the puppy is: 4 meals at 2–3 months, 3 at 3–6, 2 at 6–12. A starting point; your vet knows best.
“Already ate”
Someone taps Fed again within two hours? The app asks first, and shows who fed and when.
Whose turn
Walks and meals rotate, and the board shows who is up next.
Ready for the trainer
Two weeks of potty progress on one screen, to show at the next lesson.
Ringing works in the iPhone and Android app with alerts on. The board’s owner switches “time to go out again” on.

Guides for you
Puppy potty training schedule by age, for the whole familyTake a young puppy out right after waking, eating, playing and naps, and at least every few hours in between. The AKC’s rule of thumb is about one hour per month of age. The schedule only works if everyone at home follows the same one, so write it down, mark every trip, and praise outside every time.

Questions
How often does a puppy need to go out?
A common rule of thumb from the AKC is about one hour per month of age during the day, plus right after waking, eating, playing and naps. Every puppy is different, so ask your vet or trainer.
Can the whole family log potty breaks?
Yes. Everyone on the board can mark Outside or Accident, and everyone sees the same log. A dog walker with a helper link can mark them too.
Will our phones remind us to take the puppy out?
Yes, in the phone app with alerts on. After each mark, phones at home ring after the gap the board’s owner picks (1 to 4 hours). Nothing rings between 10 PM and 7 AM.
Is PupShift a training method?
No. It is a shared log and schedule. Your trainer sets the plan; PupShift helps everyone at home follow it the same way.
