Default Re: New pet coming

Congrats on the new dog Jamie. I love dogs. Some great advice from Kevin, but one thing I would recommend is positive reinforcement seems to go a lot farther than negative punishment. I'm a bit of a goof, but when my dog first went the bathroom outside, I probably looked and sounded like I belonged in....well....an asylum. One more thing.....

If you can teach your dog to go to the bathroom on the potty, you should be able to easily train him to come, sit and stay!
