How to Housebreak a PuppyPuppy potty training is the first and most basic lesson in cohabitation you will teach your dog. While parents of children may think they know how to potty train, puppy minds don't work the same way as toddler minds.

Re-channeling that natural instinct into learned elimination behavior requires time, effort and consistency on the part of the dog owner but the process is absolutely necessary.
