If you have just picked out a new dog or puppy and plan to keep him or her inside, your first priority should be to get your pet house trained. There are several puppy potty training methods that can help you out and which one you choose will depend in large part on where you live and what your lifestyle is.
One dog potty training technique is called paper training. Basically what you do is train your dog to go to the bathroom on paper in your house. Praising them when they do what you want is important and getting after them (in a loving yet stern manner) when they make a mess in the house. You can combine this with the next technique to encourage them to go outside when possible, but use the paper if they have to go inside.
Training your dog to go to the bathroom outside is one of the most common methods of house training. One way to go about doing this is to take your new dog or puppy out frequently and praise them when they go to the bathroom to let them know they did what you want. As I mentioned above, make sure you scold them when they make a mess in the house. If you want to combine techniques, you can praise them a little bit when they go on the paper and praise them excessively when they go outside. This will help them know you want them to go outside, but it is ok if they have to use the paper.
Another possible technique to use is called crate training and works well for people who can’t let their dog out frequently.
