Did you know that winter puppies can often be easier to house train than summer puppies?
This is because in the winter most of us keep our back doors firmly closed. As a result, our winter puppies have a clear boundary between the outside world of our back gardens and the inside world of our houses. So, if we are regularly taking them outdoors, opening and closing the door as we go out and then in again, they quickly recognise the pattern.
In contrast many summer puppies can get more confused if the back door is open all day long. There is no boundary between the garden and the house, they get easily distracted, and sometimes it all becomes a bit blurred.
If you have a new puppy arriving and would like our toilet training programme please get in touch and we can whizz it across to you 🐾. We are always happy to chat all things puppies 🥰.
