Housebreaking

My advice on this is as follows,  " Don't backslide!"  When you receive your puppy from us, it will be sleeping in a crate through the night with no accidents.  Every morning at 6am it will be used to running straight outside and hitting the grass to do its business.  Make sure you set an alarm and get up for the morning blitz.  Then as the weeks go by the puppy will be more able to hold its peace.  As far as daytime housebreaking goes, the key to that is making sure that you let puppy out immediately after meals, and only introduce a water bowl inside, once feeding and going out is well established.  What you don't want to do is leave a puppy knocking around the house for long periods unsupervised.  Then they will have no choice but to find a spot to relieve themselves, and then you will have an issue to resolve.  If you keep them supervised in your living space, or outside, or in a crate at all times for the first few weeks, it will probably never be an issue!  And you'll say like so many others  "Our puppy is so smart, I can't believe how easy she was to potty-train..."  Smart people make our dogs look good!  Be smart!
