What is the best way to start potty training a puppy and make them pee on the pads until I get home2007-11-25 2:52:33

The answer you need: and you're not going to like it and I don't want to say it, but you don't need a puppy. I won't go so far as to say you don't need a dog, b/c I work and have a dog, cut definitely not a puppy.

Its just not safe for a puppy to be alone for 10 hrs. He/she will be scared, lonely and stressed. There is not telling what he/she would get into if it was left "free". the best thing would be to confine the puppy to a small area (a laundry room, bathroom, or kitchen works well b/c the tile floor is easy cleanup).This would be okay for a short amount of time, but not all day.

Why not go for a older dog, an adolescent dog if you will, plenty need a good home. Browse your local shelter websites go to pet adoptions find an older dog that it already well trained and will be appreciative for their new home. Beware alot of shelters will not let dogs go to an environment where the dog would be left alone for such long hours.

You really should not have a puppy if you are gone that long. But if you do, get a bigger cage so she can have free space. That is the best way to potty train your dog. You should go home on your breaks and spend some time with her, and once you get home let her right outside, that way she learns that when she has to potty she is suppose to go outside.
