housetrain

Ours was difficult to housetrain and it was an incredibly stressful period — mostly for me, because my husband essentially checked out and let me deal with it.

You’ve only been at it for 11 days, and you can’t expect to housetrain a dog in such a short amount of time.

“In the next hundred days, we will housetrain our dog, Bo, because the last thing Tim Geithner needs is someone else treating him like a fire hydrant.”

That, in fact, is how I came to adopt my puppy Max II. A single working mother with two young children living in Brooklyn could not manage them and the puppy when it came time to housetrain him.

Also, dogs rarely soil their crates, making it a lot easier to housetrain them.
