  • Unless you plan to keep your dog outdoors--and few of us do because it's not recommended--you'll need to teach your dog where to eliminate. Therefore, house training (also called housebreaking or potty training) is one of the first things you need to work on with your dog. Crate training can be a very helpful part of the training process.

Healthy dogs won't eliminate where they sleep.

You can use this to potty train a puppy when you work.

Leave a puppy in a crate to sleep and then take him for a walk as soon as he's up.

When he gets outside, he will eliminate, and you can reward him to make the behavior stick.
