If you were to imagine the worst possible fault that your dog could have, what would it be?
- A poor sit/stay
- Stealing food off your table
- Showing signs of aggression
- Bad or non-existent recall

- Poor house training
- Chewing or other destructive behaviour

It is an undeniable fact that puppies need to eliminate. The frustrating part is the communication barrier as well as the lack of understanding about where and when it is appropriate to eliminate. Puppies come to us with the simple motto: “If I have to, then I’ll do it.” This pertains to eating, sleeping (ever see a pup fall over asleep in mid-play?), activity, exploration AND elimination!
