Deciding on Indoor or Outdoor House Training for Your Puppy – Factors to Consider

There are two ways to house train your puppy – outdoor training or indoor 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.

Outdoor puppy house training can be a good choice, if you happen to work from home and have easy access to outdoor areas. You have the flexibility to put work aside and take your puppy out for his bathroom break.

If you’re living in a tall apartment, naturally taking your puppy for a outdoor potty break can be rather inconvenient. Or, if you have difficulty moving around, e.g. you are on a wheelchair, then house training your puppy indoors will be easier on 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. If your four-legged companion will grow into a big dog, indoor house training may cause some inconvenience later. For example, their feces will be bigger in volume compared to those of smaller breeds! If yours is a male pooch, then someday he will start raising his leg as he pees. He won’t be able to aim properly at his potty, whether it’s the newspapers or a litter box. What you get will be a stinky puddle on the floor.

While it’s possible to retrain a outdoor house trained puppy to potty indoor, and the other way round, you shouldn’t let your puppy have two bathrooms. You have to determine 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 is to see your puppy mess up his bathroom manners.
