They need help and this is where these slippers come in handy. Some people also like to use the slipper as a punishment for misbehaving. You can strap it to their leg so they do not walk across the carpet when they are doing something wrong and the slipper makes walking across a hard floor impossible. Are you going to have an indoor or outdoor dog house? A lot of people refrain from adopting these kinds of puppies because they fear that they will not know how to deal with their new puppy. It is understandable but it does not mean that you do not need to spend time training them. The first thing that you should be doing is to acquire for them how to use the house they are going to live in. A house they are going to live in should be something they can understand. The reason you want to keep the slipper outside your house is that puppies cannot figure out house training on their own. This may be hard to do but if you don’t know what to do, get a friend to hold him over his head while you drag the slipper around the floor. Once he gets used to it, you can remove it again and try again. Try not to fall on your puppy during this process, because you could get hurt.
