In as little of seventy-two hours using Train-UM and following the instructions, you can train your puppy to "go" in the place of your choosing.

Top Pet Shop Tip:

We at Top Pet Shop always recommend where possible to train your dog to go to the toilet where you will ultimatly desire for them to toilet in the future, rather than going to all the trouble of traing them to go to the loo in one place and just when the poor thing works that out you move the goal posts and then say you have to " spend a penny" elsewhere.

i.e If you would like you dog to do its toilet outside, why train it to go inside on paper and then slowly move it outside? then complain when your dog goes inside when it is cold and wet outside, your dog thinks it was ok then whats changed now!? Draw up the ground rules at the start.
