However, there is at least one situation in which you may need to provide a temporary indoor potty for your outdoor trainee: if you’re out all day and have a puppy who’s less than around 5 months of age. A dog this young simply can’t hold it from nine to five, and even asking him to try is wrong.

If your ultimate goal is to train your puppy to potty only outdoors, both you and he will be better off if you can find a way to give your puppy a midday potty break (see Chapter 5 for some of your options). But if none of those options is feasible, you must let your puppy go potty indoors during the day. Here’s how it works:

Confine your puppy to the kitchen with some baby gates or an exercise pen and spread several layers of newspaper on the floor. Don’t follow the indoor-training tips in Chapter 7 — you want to focus your actual training efforts on the outside.

When you’re home, pick up the papers and take him outside to do any and all bathroom business.

Count the days till he reaches that 5-month mark. At that point, the papers are likely to stay dry all day. When that happens every day for at least a week, you can call a halt to the daytime papers: He’s shown he can hold it all day.
