Love Your Puppy, But Not the Messborder=

Sunday May 18, 2008

Most people agree that puppies are completely irresistible. There's just something about the uncoordinated awkwardness, blatant fearlessness, big precious eyes, and tender innocence all wrapped up in a tiny package that seems to steal our hearts. Even the puppy breath and needle-like teeth can be considered adorable. One thing that is not so adorable is the little "presents" left around the house by puppies who can't quite "hold it."

Do you have a new puppy? If so, you are probably no stranger to these little accidents. If you haven't already started, now is the time to begin housebreaking your puppy. If you are thinking about getting a puppy, learn now how to start potty training so you'll be ready when the time comes. Some puppies are faster than others, so prepare yourself for a long road just in case. Your only other option is doggie diapers, and that could get messy. Good luck, and happy housebreaking!
