(Note from the Author: This family had such great results with The Potty Boot Camp that Mom Rachelle wrote an entire entry on her blog about the program. The first paragraph is posted here, but to read the entire article, make sure to click the link below!)

Let’s just say we attempted potty training back in May and after not much success at all... due to lack of potty training methods and pull-ups that just confused him more I decided to take a break for the summer since he was refusing to go at all. Well summer came and went in pull-ups and all summer I had been prepping Elias that we weren’t going to be in pull-ups anymore. I was bound and determined to find another method; I mean there had to be something better than just going blindly into potty training... I mean there had to be. So I researched and found something I thought would work ALOT better... and boy did it work better, it worked AMAZINGLY!

Absolutely LOVED the book! It worked like a charm on my little one! We were "graduated" in 4 days. Thank you for freeing me from the world of diapers (except for nap time :D)

If I was asked if there was one thing about parenting that I most dread, I would say potty training. I decided that since I was going to be laid off work for a week, this would be a good time to get it over with. My son was 26 months, so I felt it was time to ditch the diapers. I started the "recruitment" about 2 weeks before I would be off work. He was already able to tell me where his pee and poop went but really did not seem to have a realization about where it came from. The first day of boot camp was rough, I must admit. My son had 10 accidents but did have 10 "accidental" successes (going while he just happened to be sitting on the potty chair). He would be standing there peeing and would not even notice, even though it was dripping down his leg! I was dissapointed that he had not self-initiated that first day but Suzanne reassured me that this was not terribly unusal and to focus on his successes. Day 2 started slow but at around 10am he said the words I was waiting for..."gotta go potty". When he got up from his afternoon nap, we started with the "naked intervals". He had a couple accidents but self-initiated a couple more times. On day 3, he had 2 accidents in the morning and I was getting a little frustrated. Then at lunch he said to me "go potty". I hurried him to the potty chair and after sitting on the chair for a few minutes, he had a huge BM! Self-initiated! He had only one accident the rest of the day! On day 4, he did not have an accident until daddy came home from work, I think he was so excited to see him that he totally was not paying attention. On day 5, no accidents, even though this was the first day he was back in pants! That did not seem to set him back. That was 2 and a half weeks ago and my son is doing well. He has an occasional accident and that is usually when he is outside and gets too busy playing and waits too long. Since going through potty boot camp he has only had 1 BM accident. I cannot say enough about how helpful it was to have Suzanne there for support. I emailed her almost every night (and sometimes during the day) and she always responded and was super supportive and patient. She gave me encouragement and suggestions when I asked for them. I cannot say enough about this program and Suzanne. I will use this with my younger son when the time comes! Thank you!

Dear Suzanne, I purchased your Ebook 15 days ago and my daughter is now toilet trained! Isabella will be 27 months old tomorrow and we are thrilled to be celebrating it diaper/pull up free! I'm a full time single mom and don't have time or energy to read long, drawn out books on potty training. Your book is fabulous because it's short, to the point, gives straightforward instructions and it works! It's that simple. I put it off because I just didn't know where to start, how to start or who to listen to! I came across your book online and loved that it was short and told me what to do without all the "fluff". Your book gave me all of the tools necessary to start and finish this process. If the parent does not give in or give up, it will work for them too! Thank you Suzanne. This is exactly what I needed and I can't imagine why any parent would use any other method.

Suzanne, I just had to share my testimony. My daughter, Brilyn, was 29 months old in February. I was tired of the diapers and wanted to be done with them. I did some “googling” and came across “The Potty Boot Camp.” I got the ebook, read it, made some notes and decided to do it. I prayed and asked God to help me through this process. I also ordered the potty watch. For a few days, I had my daughter going with me to the bathroom and she would sit on her potty, too. I explained to her that next week she would be wearing big girl underpants. How excited we were! Well, on that Monday morning after breakfast at about 8:30, I put on her big girl panties. I followed your steps, giving her treats when dry. At about 11:00 she came to me with a little bit of pee coming down her leg. I took her to the potty and she finished peeing. I did not do the “drill” at that time since she kinda made it to the potty. At NOON, she initiated peeing AND pooping! How amazing! And she has only had 2 pee pee accidents in 2 ½ months; one with a friend and one with dad, ofcourse (smile). Potty trained in just 3 ½ hours! Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom. It TRULY helped me. As a matter of fact, I shared it with my sister-n-law to try with my 3 year old nephew, who was quite resistant to potty training, and it worked for her too! I recommend this to anyone in the process of potty training. I was blessed that it happened so quick with me and I realize it won’t be that way for everyone but it sure beats pull-ups and diapers! Bless you!

Thanks for the concise book! We did it last weekend with our 31-month-old son. He has been using the potty off and on since he was 18 months old, but we never pushed him to make it "official," just gave him plenty of support and encouragement and figured he'd switch when he was ready...On Day 1 he went through 7 pairs of underpants; on day 2 (no timer -- all potty breaks initiated by him or by us as part of another activity like leaving the house for a walk or outside play) it was down to 4, and on day 3 he had only 1 accident! He has had only two accidents in the past four days, both at his mother's morning out program -- in both instances, he told his teacher he needed to go and they went, but they had to wait for the bathroom to be free and he couldn't hold it long enough. I think he's doing fantastic!Thanks again, and best of luck to you!

Thanks again for your inspiration and input. I have never had such an experience such as this. You are an amazing woman to figure out something so simple and to personally stand behind your product and offer help which we are all pulling our hair out!!! Most other authors would never want people to contact them and stay in touch. I think I see smooth sailing ahead, so thanks again!!!

Your book is amazing! I trained my almost 4yr old in, literally, a day! My son only had one accident on day 2, but not one since! I tried to train him for an entire year, but your approach was simple and easy to follow. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you for this book! It was just what we needed, and I am proud that at 20 months old, my son is POTTY TRAINED! With a new baby on the way, we couldn't be happier to have our firstborn out of diapers!

We followed your method in March when he was 27 months. We pee before naps and bedtime but his diaper is always soaked! I'm happy to hear it will come naturally at some point...I thought I wasn't finishing what we started! Thanks again for your book and the support that followed....it is wonderful! I have passed your website along to all of my friends and my son's daycare. They couldn't believe how fast it worked for him!.

I have good news! My son seems to be fully potty trained. He self initiates both pee and poo. He did not have an accident in the past 4 days! Thanks a lot for such a wonderful material. I am sure everyone will benefit from this.

Jett started potty boot camp last Monday (Aug 17). He is doing so well. He's letting us know that he has to peepee. He is going to the potty on his own sometimes. The Potette potty is great to have in the car and take into restaurants. He is able to go for 1-2 hours without going potty and he is having very few accidents (0-1 per day). Thank you so much for the book and product advice. I have recommended it to several of my friends.

My son turned 3 on August 9th. I used your book for the week of August 10th 2009 thru August 15th 2009. I could not believe it he was FULLY POTTY trained when he went back to pre-school on August 17th. This is a WONDERFUL BOOK.

I'm very happy with Potty Boot Camp. I was introduced to it by a friend and really, before that, I was going to wait another 4 months because we are going to Italy and I didn't want to deal with accidents over seas... on a plane, etc. But when I read your short (THANK GOD) practical book, I was convinced I had to start right away. I was overwhelmed by all the other 4000 pages of potty training theories and how-to's out there that this one actually seemed manageable and sensible and straight forward! Thank you for your brilliant book. I've recommended it to many of my friends this week. :)

Potty Boot Camp was wonderful!! We started on Saturday morning about eight a.m. By 12 pm, Sam was initiating potty time by himself, and has not looked back. He had no more accidents that night. The next morning (Sunday) I woke up to find him standing in the kitchen with his pull up around his ankles (used pull up for bed time only). He had pooped in his potty, dumped it in the big potty, and wiped-- all before I was even out of bed!!! We didn't even have to do the naked day on day two because he was using the bathroom by himself, wearing his big boy pants. Only one accident that day and that was right before bed time when he didn't make it in time. We are now on day four and he has had no more accidents and continues to initiate potty by himself. Thank you thank you thank you! Its a miracle!!!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Potty training has been a huge struggle for us. We tried to start potty training last summer and our then 22 month old son seemed to be catching on. Then baby brother came in October and the desire to use the potty went by the wayside. I bought your book this week and we gave it our best shot. My now 2 1/2 year old son went from absolutely refusing to use the potty on Tuesday (pre-Boot Camp) to diaper free on Wednesday with only one accident. He initiated going to the potty just 2 hours in on the first day. Four days in, we are absolutely accident free and he is pretty much going entirely on his own. I can honestly say that this book was exactly what we needed. I am recommending it to every parent I know! His self-confidence is soaring and I couldn't be happier or more proud of my little guy. The book was so simple to understand and the method so easy to implement. We are so grateful for this book and wanted to say thanks!

Wellllllll just a few minutes ago I was watching tv and she walked over and sat on the potty. I heard a few grunts and thought could it be??? When she stood up she'd had a huge BM!!!! I called daddy into the room and we had the biggest, goofiest happy dance ever and my baby girl said yayyyy I did it!!!!!!!. I am so excited I feel like I've won the lotto. Thank you so much, I will be recommending your book to all I know.

Just wanted to say that I LOVED this book, and I have been telling all of my mom friends!! Our 3 year old was way too busy to even consider learning for us, and I had begun to fear she'd never be out of diapers. I was pretty skeptical at first, but figured the boot camp was at least worth a try. Well, thanks to this book, my daughter went from nothing to everything in just 3 days!! (Most of it in 1 day and the poop was finally conquered on day 3!) We found the step-by-step guide really easy to follow and execute - and it even had the flexibility to tweak to fit our situation. Thank-you!!!

Emily walked up to the door. She looked in, took off her diaper, sat on her potty, and went ALL BY HERSELF! I couldn't believe my eyes! She did that all by herself! Then, right before bed, I set her on the potty and she went right away! I was so excited! So then, I figured I was going to have to start the whole thing all over again today. No! She woke up, I took her to the potty, and she went right away! Then, about 20 minutes later, she said "potty potty potty..." So we rushed in and she sat there and went. She has been going on her own instincts all morning! I'm so happy! As long as she keeps this up, I consider her POTTY TRAINED!!! This is the best day of my life! It was hard work yesterday, but definitely worth it!

I love your system. I am a pediatric nurse practitioner. The best thing about your book is its simplicity, and I can see how it can be modified depending on the personality of the child. The mention of TV while sitting on the potty is great (we don't normally watch a lot of TV so for my child its a huge deal), I put our portable DVD player in the bathroom with a Thomas the Train video and that's how I got him to sit long enough to do more than a little squirt........he was relaxed watching Thomas. He watched a whole episode while sitting on the potty! I will be recommending your book to my patients, there are so many that delay potty training because they don't know how to start, and its explained in such a simple manner. Thank you!

Thanks again for your empathetic, helpful, and timely response. I really appreciate it! Also, the book is great! I felt the same way as you when I was researching all of my potty training options. I have sort of an engineer brain, so the A+B=C approach to potty training is just what I needed. I'm off to recommend this to all of my friends on the March 2007 Baby Center board.

Potty Boot Camp"....GENIUS!!!

I potty trained my youngest of 3 boys this week using help from your book. All of my boys were trained in a week, but I want to thank you for the list and flow charts, they were extremely helpful. This time it was much less stressful and quicker than the first two times, and I know it was because I had a clear plan and could refer to the timer and the flowchart. Thanks for the help. My favorite part was definitely the flowchart because I am a visual learner! I will definitely recommend your book and technique to my friends!

I am a very happy mom after using your program! My son, Noah is 2 1/2 years old and I chose to wait to potty train him on my summer off, since I'm a teacher. I have been researching potty training programs since he was about 18 months old and started showing his first "readiness signs." My daycare provider gave me a head's up about your program, so I looked into it. Potty Boot Camp was the best laid out method I had ever seen! I downloaded it on a Friday night and implemented it Saturday morning. At first I thought I had a new puppy in the house, but by the following Friday Noah was using the potty regularly! It is so wonderful to watch his face light up in excitement and I never knew going to the bathroom could be such an emotional event :). I am one proud mommy and want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating such a consistent, easy, and flexible potty program. From our happy family to yours...have a fabulous summer! We will...DIAPER FREE!

I heard of Potty Boot Camp from my friend who said I should look it up. One Friday I got the itch and looked into it. My son Tyler was 2 1/2 when I started the Potty Boot Camp. Never in a million years did I think I would attempt training at that age and I also had 11 month old twins at the time. Tyler was the boy who wanted NOTHING to do with going potty, he would watch us and flush the toilet but don't dare put him on it. I started on a Saturday morning, followed the directions to a T and by the following Friday he was potty trained. AMAZING, the poop training took about another week and at the end of two weeks he was completely potty trained, even sleeping through the night with underwear on.

Thank you so much for this book. I potty trained my 3 year old in less than a day! After one accident that she cleaned up, there were no more. I started the training at 8 a.m. and she told me she had to go potty before lunch. A day that began with a little girl crying as I took off her diaper ended with a very proud and excited little princess. (She wanted all princess toys for reward!) People are shocked with the success. Thank you!!

All of my friends continually ask me how in the world I trained my son at 23 months! It's hard not to gloat that my son is wearing underwear while my friends' kids are still in diapers at the age of 3!

WOW! Thank you, thank you, thank you for making it so easy. I had flipped through the first 40 pages of about 10 different books and thought, there HAS to be a better way, please can't someone just tell me??!! And there you were. Gigi (2 1/2 years) asked to use the potty before her nap on the first day and by day 3 was going on her own every time. I had my doubts those first couple hours (and accidents) but if you stick with it and do what you say it will work. We are all very happy!

Thank you so much for the plans. It worked so well. The first day of drills she understood what she needed to do. She didn't like having to clean up after herself and from the second day on she's done everything all on her own. We are so proud of her! Thanks so much!

Awesome book! A Must for every parent!

I just wanted to give you an update on how well the potty boot camp worked for my son. I started him at 18 months. It worked beautifully! He is 19 1/2 months now, and does a great job. I have a friend that borrowed your book, and she has found great success also with her two-year-old.

My daughter was 26 months when we did this and it worked. After reading several other books it was so nice to have clear cut instructions on what to do. I ordered the e-book, went shopping, and trained the very next day. We also got the Kalencom 2-in-1 potty on the go and that has taken almost all of my germ fear out of using public restrooms. She can use the potty anywhere! Now if I could just teach her not to touch anything in bathroom stalls. Thank you so much for making this experience easy for me.

I love the fact that it is short, concise, and easy to read and understand. Thanks for the help and suggestions. I am so excited that we don't have to deal with diapers anymore. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and encouragement

WOW!! I love this method already

Your method is really great. Our little toddler hasn't had any accidents merely 7 days after we started. Even poo is not a problem. We once forgot to give her a diaper before nap time and she just woke up from it asking to pee on her potty. And this morning she was complaining because she peed in her diaper... So, we are very proud of her and very thankful for your method.

Even though we parents say we don't compare our kids to others..it's a lie! Secretly we love it when our kids are "ahead." Thanks to the Boot Camp, my daughter is trained sooner than 90% of the other kids at her daycare.

Practical, step by step, HOW-TO, not more theory. Just what I wanted. Thanks!

You should see the look in my daughter's eyes when she tells me, "Mommy, I went pee pee!" She is so proud you would think she's just scaled Mt. Everest.

After Day #1, Brendon was using the potty 4 out of 5 times! By the end of the first week, he was rarely having accidents!

Helena Mae 22 months old, took us 6 hours! Been in panties every since! Thanks!

We tried the "train in a day" methods before. When I saw that the Boot Camp incorporated some of the same methods, I was skeptical. We decided to stop training for a few weeks and start again but this time using the "enlistment" procedures and the "intervals" follow-up. THIS TIME IT WORKED! My son is now potty trained! It just goes to show how a little extra work can make all of the difference. Thanks so much!

I loved how clear, step by step and straightforward the book was. Made the whole process SO much less stressful both for me and for him!

I just spent Saturday to Wednesday doing the potty boot camp with my 19 month old son. I knew my son was ready but, had such a hard time finding a program for younger children to help me. I am the type that if I do not know something I research it and figure someone has a book out on it. I was so excited to find this succinct book at Barnes and Noble online and never looked back. I think it took me longer to get everything I needed that it did to train my son. I want to thank you for your research and for your brief explanations. My son, Sebastian, did not self initiate until the evening of the third day and I had to do two full days of day 1 but after that- he did it always on his own. I never reminded him and he pooped with no problems either. I just am so thankful to be out of diapers! Thank you from a First time mom

Today is his 2nd birthday and I definitely consider him now a potty graduate rather than a potty trainee! He is proud of himself, and life is a bit cheaper and easier for us. Thanks very much for encouraging me, I truly appreciate your help via e-mails.

Thank you soooo much Suzanne! We will definitely try this and I appreciate your encouragement and support! I felt like my husband and I were out on a planet by ourselves dealing with this! I certainly do not feel this way anymore! I truly appreciate your time and response! You are wonderful, I love the book and have recommended it to MANY of my friends of toddlers!

Just wanted to let you know that Rowan has been accident free and completely confident on the potty for three weeks now! We started giving him small toys as rewards for peeing/pooping in the potty as well as letting him go into his closet and pick a larger toy to play with and it seemed to do the trick! He started out wanting the rewards after each success, but after a few days he didn't even both with them. He initiates each time he needs to go and we also take him before and after going out for a walk, and before and after his nap, and he pees or poops as soon as he sits down. It's awesome.

Thanks a billion for writing such a fantastic & to the point manual for parents. It never occured to me to have my kiddos clean up their own messes, not that I'm opposed to it, I just never thought to do it! This has been a huge help to our family, in so many ways. You're a blessing :)

I felt like my husband and I were out on a planet by ourselves dealing with this! I certainly do not feel this way anymore! I truly appreciate your time and reponse! You are wonderful, I love the book and have recommended it to MANY of my friends of toddlers!

You are amazing for putting this method into words!!!! Thank you soooo very much for emailing back and forth with me about my 21 month old son. We started on 3/31/10 and he is doing absolutely wonderful!!!!! None of my family or friends thought he was "ready", but boy did he prove them wrong!!!! He is my third child in 4 years and I am ready to never change a diaper again!!!!! This was so easy to follow and it truly does work like it says. Thank you again!!

My daughter Sage, was one of the hard ones, and she was potty trained within 48 hours of using your method (of which I am forever grateful!).
