The Gotta Potty system helps train owners to listen to their pets body language and to reduce the time it takes to properly potty train their dog. By alerting owners to cues that are sometimes overlooked or not observed, the Gotta Potty mat gives owners a helping hand in the necessity of potty-training their dog. The premise is simple. The Gotta Potty mat is a pressure-activated mat that you place in front of the door discretely under your existing rug or other area that the dog might be having "accidents". The mat features a wireless transmitter that is voice-recordable that reinforces the proper command to the puppy when it cues. For instance, the puppy walks over and stands in front of the door to be let out, but the owner is nowhere in sight. With the Gotta Potty mat, when the dog cues like this, the mat delivers an audible recorded message to the dog in YOUR OWN VOICE that it will begin to equate with going outside (consistency is a key to success). The mat transmits a separate, recordable message to the hand-held receiver to alert you that your dog is signaling to be let out. The puppy hears "Gotta go outside?" (or whatever you want your command to be) in the owners voice and the owner hears "Rex is at the front door, hurry and let him out!". Because let's face it, if the dog cues and you don't see it, he's not going to wait forever. When you Gotta go, you Gotta go.
