Lhasa Apso Potty Training - Consistency and Variety

You must be consistent in your potty training [housetraining, housebreaking] and all other training - yet, just as importantly, your puppy must accept variety!

What am I saying? And why?

Really it harks back to a previous post when I stated that you shouldn't only get your puppy to perform in one place and on one type of surface. Circumstances have a habit of occuring which mean that your schedule has to be altered... maybe someone is ill, or you have to attend a funeral, a meeting, or even a wedding, and your puppy has to go and stay with someone else or even go to a kennels for a day.

What would happen if your pup refused to have a pee, go to the loo, or even eat in strange surroundings or with strange people?

Try and build some variety into your pups life as soon as it is practicable so that it is able to cope with the unexpected!
