Teaching your dog to use the bathroom outside is perhaps the one “trick” every dog owner would have their dog know. Potty training a puppy is surprisingly simple, and yet it can be deceivingly difficult depending on the owner’s life routine. Potty training is as simple as ensuring your puppy only goes to the restroom outside. If you can consistently manage this, then your puppy will naturally learn to associate outside with the bathroom, and they will hold it inside. The problem comes in the first part. If you work during the day and don’t have anyone to cover that time at home with your puppy, then it can be a challenge to train your puppy to go outside.
