[quote=Anonymous]When I bought my puppy three years ago, for the first month as I timed it with a surgery that required me to work from home for a short time on top of taking time off, PTO.

What I did, was I took my laptop and put it in the kitchen to work so I was near the back door. Baby gated the kitchen so the puppy was with me in a confined place. Due to that I was able to keep an eye on him to judge when he was about to go potty so I could quickly put him outside. Also, since I was home with him I was able to be very consistent with taking him outside 15 minutes After eating, right after a nap, or right after he was very playful and having a Zumiez before a nap. To entertain him while I was working, I had a variety of chew toys at my feet. As he seem to like to hang out at my feet. We had a little dog bed in a small crate for him to go into to nap. However the end result is we never actually crate trained him. He is a smart little dog and only had three accidents in our house. The biggest issue with him chewing the fringe of our throw rugs. So we used bitter Apple.  If he tried to chew on our hands or arms, we would say no sharply, and give him an appropriate tutorial.

The other thing that helped, was my children were home from school as it was during summer break. So they helped as well  They were 11 and 12 at the time.[/quote]
