How
I Ended Up Dog Potty Training My Lhasa Apso
Dogs Indoors With A Dog Litter Box
Dog Potty
Training Indoors
I
got my first
Lhasa Apso dog
Pepper back in 1979. I was getting him use to
using newspapers since that’s how many puppies start out with dog potty
training. It wasn’t too long before I had moved out on my own
to
a high-rise condominium in downtown Toronto. My new home was
an
eighth floor suite in the middle of a busy downtown area with no parks
nearby. I was also starting a new career that had long
unpredictable days.
So based on all this, I decided to
continue to dog potty train Pepper to use newspapers indoors in a
little
room that was meant to be where my washer and dryer
was. He
got use to this location really well and when I got a second Lhasa Apso
I named Max, I trained the new puppy to use the newspapers indoors as
well. Max just copied what Pepper was doing so it was really
easy. I ended up having two dogs that were completely paper
trained indoors.
If I came home late, it was okay because I
didn’t have to rush to take them outside to do their
business.
They already did on the newspapers. I didn’t have to take
them
out if it was bad weather either.

Of Dog Potty Training My Lhasa Apso
Dogs Indoors With A Dog Litter Box

Litter Box
Many years
later, I got
another two dogs, Chester and Roxie. Based on my own success
with
Pepper and Max, it was my intention to dog potty train Chester and
Roxie
indoors as well. However, this time around, the pet industry
came
out with the commercial dog litter box.
It looks like
I was on to something all those years with Pepper and Max. My
concept of dog potty training indoors rather than
outdoors, was also utilized by many other successful dog owners as
well. This was especially true for owners of smaller breeds
living in urban city areas such as Manhattan in New York City where
apartments are the usual type of residential dwelling.
There is
a big enough market for the Purina company and others to launch
dedicated dog litter box systems for canines. This was a great
development in my mind since litter boxes are less messy than
newspapers and high quality dog litter like Purina’s Second Nature
controls odor much better too.
As of the time of writing
this article, Chester and Roxie are now five years old and both are
totally trained using their dog litter box indoors. As you can
tell,
I’m a total advocate of this method for dogs now.
There
are significant benefits in having dog potty training
indoors.
Although I’m not a professional dog trainer, I
have been a successful dog owner for many years and since I’ve been
training all of my dogs to eliminate indoors since 1979, this is my
niche expertise with dogs. This has prompted me to
create
this dedicated website on dog potty training indoors using any of
the
available canine litter box or similar systems on the market today.
Lots of potential and existing dog owners will benefit
greatly
as indoor training will enhance their lives as well as their dogs’
lives.
