People ask me this all the time. Big, small, fuzzy, short or tall. Dogs all learn the same way. Really, they do! The same way that you would teach a Great Dane to go potty outside, is just the same way you would teach a Miniature Poodle.  Small dogs can follow the rules too, I think we just tend to maybe let the rules “slide” a bit more with the “littles!” Try being consistent and treating your little one the same way you would any other and I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Small dogs are quite smart and deserve the credit! It just might take them a little longer to get to the door, that’s all!

Just a quick tip today, I'm looking forward to connecting with you and your favorite little pups!
