Puppy house training – indoor or outdoor?

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 works best for you and your puppy? Well, it pretty much depends on your lifestyle and the type of your dog.

Let’s say you are a housewife or are working from home, and have great outdoor places in your neighborhood, then taking 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 staying in a high-rise apartment building, then it can be quite inconvenient to take your puppy outdoor for a quick stroll and a potty break. Or, if you are experiencing some health problems that you can’t leave the house or move around easily, then indoor house training method may be more suitable for you.

If your dog belongs to one of those small size breeds, they do better with indoor potties, so indoor house training is perfect for them. Indoor house training may have some disadvantages for bigger dogs, one of it being that their waste is bigger in size! If your dog is a male, eventually he will start lifting his leg when he pees. He won’t be able to aim accurately at his toilet – b be it the newspaper or a litter box. 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 habitually. 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 cover the indoor living area with papers to protect your floors from soiling accidents when you’re not at home to take your puppy out for a potty break. The last thing you want to do is to confuse your puppy about his bathroom protocol.
