There are two methods that you can use to house train your puppy – indoor training or outdoor training. Which one should you use? Which house training method suits you and your puppy the best? It actually depends a lot on the breed of your dog and your own lifestyle.
Let’s say you’re a full-time housewife or are working from home, and have great outdoor areas in your neighborhood, then house training your puppy outdoor can be an interesting choice. You have the flexibility of putting down your work to take your puppy out for a potty break.
If you’re living in a tall apartment, naturally taking your puppy for a outdoor potty break can be rather inconvenient. Or, if you have difficulty moving around, e.g. you are on a wheelchair, then house training your puppy indoor will be easier on you.
Small size breeds tend to do better with indoor potties. If your puppy belongs to one of those, then you could opt for indoor potty training. If your four-legged companion will grow into a big dog, indoor house training may cause some inconvenience later. For example, their feces will be bigger in volume compared to those of smaller breeds! If your dog is a male, eventually he will start lifting his leg when he pees. He is unlikely to aim accurately at his potty, whether it’s a litter box or layers of newspapers. What you get will be a stinky puddle on the floor.
While you can always train an indoor house trained puppy to eliminate outdoor, and vice versa, your puppy shouldn’t use both types of potty places regularly. You’ll need to decide on one potty place.
For example, if your ultimate goal is to have your dog do his business outside, it’s better to focus on outdoor training right from the beginning. You can spread some newspapers on the floor of your living area; in case you’re not at home to take your puppy out to do his business, at least your floors are protected from his poop and pee. The last thing you want to do is to confuse your puppy about his bathroom protocol.
