Okay, I've read enough in this section to see that the choice to either outside housebreak or inside paper/potty patch/ litter box train a dog, especially the toy breeds, is met with a lot of strong opinions, often rudely put.
I feel it's a choice for the dog owner to make as far as how & where their dog eliminates.....and I can also see the pros and cons of ALL choices.
Outside housebreaking means the dog has to ASK to eliminate....do you have to ask? And communication can result in accidents
Plus, the pooch is often expected to 'hold it'.....are you forced to hold it? Or do you relieve yourself as soon as you are able-your choice.
Or is being a human give you this privilege while the dog doesn't get to be as privileged.
Yes, it's convenient for the owner...but what about the poor people who accidentally step in the mess when less than diligent dog owners fail to scoop the poop....besides being a public nuisance, it's a contaminant for other dogs and can cause, spread disease.
However, when an owner responds immediately to their dog's need to 'potty', and cleans up after the dog, I can certainly see the advantages to outside housebreaking.
...but
..if an owner makes the determination that circumstances would best be served with paper training, potty patches, or litter pans, and is just as diligent in cleaning up immediately after their pet, and the pet is well trained so it only eliminates where it's supposed to..who cares? Who is hurt by it?
Outside house break. Puppy padds start to become a hassel.
