Paper Training Your Dog
If you find it necessary to be away from home all day, it does not mean that you cannot successfully house train your dog. You will not be able to take care of your puppy outside for regular walks or leave him in a crate; however, do not make the mistake of allowing him to roam the house or even a large room at will. Begin house training your dog by confining him to some out-of-the-way corner that is easily accessible to him.You can choose a small room or an area of the house partitioned with baby gates, and cover the floor with newspaper or puppy pads.
Make your dog’s special area large enough so that he will not relieve himself next to his food, bed, or water. You will soon find that your pup will be inclined to use one particular spot to perform his bowel and bladder functions. When you are at home, you must take the dog to this exact spot to eliminate at the appropriate time. If you consistently take your dog to the same spot, you will reinforce the habit of going there for that purpose.
