You typed "potty trainer near me" into a search bar.
That means something. It means you're past the blog posts and the free printables and the advice from your mother-in-law. You want an actual human — someone trained, someone experienced, someone who can look at your specific child and your specific situation and tell you what to do next.
We can help with that.
The Potty School has been working with families since 2016. We have consultants who come to you — across the continental U.S. — and virtual options for families everywhere else in the world. "Near me" is relative when the expertise travels.
Here's what typically brings families to us, and what working together actually looks like.
This is the most common story we hear.
You read the books. You tried the three-day method. You bought the sticker chart. Maybe you even started and stopped a few times because it felt like your child "just wasn't ready." You've been at this for weeks, or months, and you're starting to wonder if something is wrong — with your child, with your approach, or with you.
Nothing is wrong.
What's often happening is that the general advice doesn't account for the specifics of your child. The three-day method works beautifully for some families. For others, it's the wrong approach entirely — and no amount of trying harder will change that. What you need isn't more information. You need someone to look at what you've already done and help you figure out the actual next step.
That's exactly what a consultation does.
Most parents have someone to ask — a friend, a parent, a pediatrician. And most of that advice is well-meaning and completely useless for your family.
"This worked for my kid" is not a potty training method. It's an anecdote.
We spend our days working with families on this specific transition. We've seen what works across hundreds of children — different temperaments, different ages, different family dynamics, different diagnoses. We ask what you've been doing, what your child is like, what your household looks like — and then we give you a plan that fits, not a generic checklist.
Online courses have their place. (We have a good one — Diapers to Flush — and we recommend it for families who want ongoing access to resources and community.) But sometimes you've done the videos and you need a living, breathing human being in the room with you.
That's what our in-home consultants provide. They come to your house. They watch you interact with your child. They tell you — in real time — what to do next.
One thing worth knowing: our consultants don't train your child for you. We tried that model early on, and it created a problem: children who were trained with the consultant, but not with mom or dad. The training didn't transfer. So now our consultants work as your guide — walking beside you through each step so that when we leave, you're the one who knows what to do. The results stick because you are the one who did it.
Maybe your child just turned two and you've never done this before. Maybe you tried a few months ago and stopped. Maybe this is your second child and you want to do it differently this time. Maybe your child has a diagnosis and you've been told to "just wait" — and you're tired of waiting.
Wherever you are, we can meet you there.
For families just starting out, our Pottying Personality Quiz is a good first step — it helps you figure out which approach is the best fit before you book anything. For families who've been at it a while, a consultation call can help you figure out what's missing and what to try next.
For children with special needs — autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, sensory processing differences, global developmental delays — we have specific expertise. This is actually where The Potty School began. Our approach for special needs potty training accounts for how each child's nervous system works, not just a one-size-fits-all timeline.
We serve clients across the U.S. and internationally. Here's what's available:
Consultation Calls (phone or video, one-on-one):
Virtual Full Day — ongoing support throughout a full training day: $800
In-Home Consultations — a trained consultant comes to your home:
Membership — Diapers to Flush, starting at $45/month, gives you 24/7 access to our courses, community, and Q&A sessions.
Not sure which is right for you? Take the quiz or contact us — we're happy to help you figure it out before you book.
Maybe not. Some families read one good book and their child is trained in a week. If that's you, wonderful.
But if you've been at this for a while and it's not working — or if your child has specific needs that make standard advice unhelpful — professional support isn't a luxury. It's the practical choice.
Think about it this way: you wouldn't keep trying the same approach with a car that wouldn't start and call it a character flaw. You'd take it to someone who knows engines. Potty training isn't a character test for you or your child. Sometimes you just need the right expertise.
We'd love to be that for your family.

Is there a potty trainer near me?
The Potty School has in-home consultants who travel across the continental U.S., with travel included in the service fee. Virtual consultations are available for families anywhere in the world.
What does a potty training consultant do?
A potty training consultant works with you — the parent — to build a plan based on your child's specific signals, history, and temperament. Our in-home consultants guide you through each step in real time; you do the training, and we tell you exactly what to do next.
How much does a potty training consultant cost?
At The Potty School, consultation calls start at $282 for a 45-minute new client session. Virtual full-day support is $800. In-home support is $3,750 for one day or $5,250 for two days, with U.S. travel included.
Can a potty training consultant help with special needs?
Yes. The Potty School specializes in special needs potty training for children with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, sensory processing differences, and other diagnoses. See our special needs services page for more.
What if I just want help virtually?
Virtual consultations work well for most families. You'll get the same one-on-one support and personalized plan — just over video instead of in person.
When you think of potty training, think of The Potty School.
