Though it may seem daunting, house-training a puppy is relatively simple - as long as you have the right gear. You won't need much, just a way to confine your puppy, a way to clean up accidents and treats to reward your dog when they get it right. If you live in a home without quick and easy access to the outdoors (or even if you don't), you will also need an indoor potty.
Over the last decade, I've helped hundreds of families house-train their puppies. For six years, I even taught a Puppy Parent Orientation at the San Francisco SPCA where I shared the secrets of quick and easy house-training. In this buying guide to puppy potty-training gear, I break down the crates, barriers, pet stain removers, indoor toilets, and treats that I've found most successful over the years.
