Potty Training your puppy can be a trying process at the best of times, but for apartment dwellers, whose access to outdoors is restricted (and sometimes virtually non-existent), the prospect of dealing with a pooping dog can be daunting.
Don't Panic - Apartment training your pooch doesn't have to be a nightmare.
In many respects the process of potty training your apartment dog will be very similar to that used for dogs with their own back yards. Although you (probably) don't have a doggy door, most of the techniques will be the same, and the basic principle that you need to train you puppy - where and when is an "appropriate "place to go to the toilet - remains the same.
One aspect that is likely to be different for apartment dogs, is the area where they are able to go to the toilet - they are likely to have limited access to the outdoors, so are more likely to have a designated indoor area for "going".
If you have a regular routine for walking your dog, he will very quickly learn it and will soon know when (and where) his opportunities to go to the loo will be. However, if you disrupt the routine, or are unable to take your dog on regualr walks, the house training process is likely to be a bit trickier for you.
For house bound pets (and owners), there are some extremely effective Indoor Dog Toilet
systems available these days, which most dogs get the hang of very quickly - and are also very easy for you to look after and clean.
