[quote=Anonymous]We are getting a new puppy next week. A dachshund - about 3 months old. I have never had a dog before (my DH has when he was a kid). We met with a trainer once already but I have a couple of questions. 1. Trainer recommended we use a spot on the side of our house for the official "potty spot" for the dog... we were going to get a small fake grass pad. but now when I'm looking to buy one, I'm confused. Will the pee just go through the grass pad onto the dirt/concrete? Do I have to clean the grass pad? I'm not sure this is worth it (we do have some small grassy areas in a very small yard). 2. Trainer also recommended NOT using treats for potty training. I feel like people always use treats? Any other particular advice? We have three kids, some of whom will be legit helping while others will be "helping" with the dog. [/quote]
