2007-04-12T14:50:00.000-07:00

If you're heading outdoors this spring, it's a good opportunity to have a Doggie Divot for home, and for the road. Your little pup may need to be used to taking care of business at home in a regular place. But once you're out on the boat or in the RV, or staying in the cabin, you just don't want to deal with a mess.

I know two neighbor pups who have grown up to be so friendly. One of them took a lengthy road trip recently. That didn't work out so well...It turns out being too far from home in an unfamiliar place brought a series of accidents. (Upholestry is not fun to clean by the way...)

Many pet owners do not have the benefits of a spacious yard. For them, an indoor dog potty is a way to enjoy their pets inside—and not just in the evenings and weekends. Moreover, an indoor dog potty provides a consistent and familiar place for dogs to relieve themselves.

Small dogs especially have small bladders. For this reason, having an indoor dog potty allows these little pups to take care of business on a convenient, as-need basis.

Housebreaking a New Puppy

Understanding what it means to housebreak a new puppy...

The important foundational understanding to housebreaking a new puppy is to recognize from the start that it’s your job. Yup, that’s it, you’re committed. Remember your wide-eyed kids promising to do everything to take care of him if they could just have one of those free puppies they were giving out in front of Kmart? “C’mon Mom, they’re free!” Admit it, you’ve been duped. You forgot to read the fine print that this promise only applies to the first week. Housebreaking a new puppy simply isn’t on a nine-year-old’s list of top ten things to do today.

Getting involved in the housebreaking of a new puppy...

Once you recognize that this is officially your task, the good news is that housebreaking a new puppy isn’t as bad as it seems, if you’ve got the right tools.

However, if you’re willing to forego such valuable preparation, we’re here to tell you that housebreaking a new puppy doesn’t have to be nearly so involved, or expensive.

Housebreaking Puppies : Problems and Solutions

2007-02-12T08:09:00.000-08:00

My first exposure to housebreaking puppies was when my little brother Ben first introduced Prince to the family. Somehow Ben had kept up his grades like he promised and Dad let him pick out the newest member of our family as a reward. The concept of housebreaking puppies had for some reason never crossed our minds until we first met the little guy. I thought I would melt into a puddle he was so cute! However this was unnecessary since Prince quickly proved himself already quite capable in the puddle business. Ben cleaned it up that time. Our puppy housebreaking battle had just begun…

Housebreaking Puppies: New Surprises

Before long, housebreaking puppies became a moot point in my mind. I was more concerned in bringing about a brother-breaking reform for Prince. He was quite content to sleep on Ben’s bed at night (who seemed overly optimistic about housebreaking puppies), but soon Prince became restless and tried out a little change of scenery, such as my convenient bed on the other side of the room. Prince’s innocent little face after the deed was done told me that he was completely ignorant of his infraction of international puppyhousebreaking law, but I for one didn’t buy it. I spent the rest of the night on the couch, dreaming things that would make that little guy think twice about repeating such an action if he knew of them.

Techniques for Housebreaking Puppies

The next day saw Ben pulling out all of his best techniques for housebreaking puppies, since he knew that Mom was becoming less puppy-optimistic after washing my sheets from the night before. His attempts to give Prince large quantities of water and his terse commands: “Potty! Now!” in the backyard would normally have been enough to send me into hysteria had I not known what was at stake. Ben wouldn’t admit that he knew absolutely nothing about housebreaking puppies, but by the end of the day we knew we were sunk.

The Battle of Housebreaking Puppies

Later that week, however, in the fray of our losing puppy housebreaking battle, Dad brought home what proved to be the answer for housebreaking puppies: the Doggie Divot! Noting the new patch of grass in our bathroom, Prince took a few inquisitive sniffs and promptly went to town as if the two had known each other his entire puppy life. Now Prince and I are happily friends again and we have Doggie Divot to thank for its expertise in housebreaking puppies.
