When I was researching dog breeds I noticed that mine was specifically called out for being tough to potty train and the conventional solution was using a litter box or paper pads or combination of both. I then realized that potty training wasn’t the issue, it was not having a place indoors to potty at will. Small dogs get spooked by leaves on their back so why do owners assume they won’t get spooked while they are out and about? It was easy to get my dog to use a litterbox but it was IMPOSSIBLE to get her to not potty in the house at random. Now no problems.
Small dogs are easily spooked and they need a place to nervous potty that is not your floor, even if they are trained to go outside. I HATE when people just accept that their small dogs potty on the floor or carpet and do nothing about it. Your house stinks.
Cats have it made. Small dog owners deserve automatic litter boxes.
