Hi, I just got a min-pin from the pet shop just yesterday. Her name is Dekoda and she is already 4 months old next weekend. My question is, will that effect how fast she will learn how to potty outside? and what would be the best way to train her to use the doggy door?

I just bought a little Scottish terrier pup, and I would like to know how long would It usually take to potty train a pup of this breed,and what breeds are more complicated

Haven't gotten pup yet but article was the most comman sense one I had read on line.

I am debating about getting a golden retriever puppy but just moved into a new home. My landlord is ok with me having a dog but I'm worried that he will end up destroying the carpet in the potty training process. I have done a bunch of research and found this information on puppy potty training

Does this seem like a good method and accurate information to everyone else?

thanks for those tips on removing pee odors the entire article was great

I am new to potty training puppy's and I must admit I am frustrated to say the least.

I love my puppy and wouldn't give her up for the world but, I don't want my house trashed in the process! To make matters worse, I even have my place listed for sale so I really have to get a handle on this. I work long hrs and I am concerned about doing what is right for her.

I found your article very helpful and want to say from the bottom of my heart, "thank you." You have confirmed things that I have aready suspected but wasn't sure about. People will give you advice but much of it sounds cruel or just not right.

I have piece of mind now and a guide in which to follow. Thanks again!

Puppy pads are THE BEST thing for house-training a puppy, I swear by them. Great tips here:

I have a min pin that is driving my husband insane. We have tried the crate thing and ended up with nothing but whining. The whole theory of a dog wont pee where it eats or sleeps... She does. She is now 3 months onld and we are at wits end. She has a potty place indoors because we live in a rainy place. She will go there to pee and poo half the time... the other half its where ever. when she goes on the pad we reward her... I just dont get it. I need help. This moning she peed in my bed!!!! AHHHH my husband wants to get rid of her.. but I dont... Help!
