Paper Training and Other Indoor Potty Training Methods
(Teaching Your Dog to Potty in a Particular Area Inside)

Indoor potty training is a common housebreaking method for puppies and dogs that do not have easy access to an outdoor potty area. Indoor potty training involves teaching your dog to potty inside the house. Traditionally people used newspapers, hence the common name "paper training" but now many people use litter boxes filled with special newspaper litter, pine shavings, cat litter or sod. This method is most common with small dogs and dogs that live in large apartment buildings where taking a dog outside is impractical. Follow this program diligently and you are almost guaranteed success in your house training!
