15 ways not to ruin your puppy

Fantastic chart, @Trellum ! This will help other dog owners.

I don't find the idea of training the puppy to pee and poop indoor enticing at all. My niece went this route with her puppies and slowing moving them to do their business outdoors. Me? Straight outside, rain or shine and I was with him during this time, just to make sure the business was done before we went back outside

 

I agree with IcyBC, it's a great chart Trellum. Thank you for posting it.
I wish I knew all these things when Homer was a puppy. He is my first dog and I had no idea what to do when I met him.

 

Don't worry, Claudine, I think very few of us knew what to do with our puppies when we got them I had no idea what I was doing when I got my last two dogs either, but I'm learning a lot thanks to all those infographs.

 

I've never liked the idea of indoors potty training either. I thought my Frida her business should be done only outdoors. She got it right the first day, at least our room, but the fact she'd not that in our room was just awesome.
