Puppy pads and outdoor potty training are two essential aspects of housebreaking a new puppy. Puppy pads can be used to teach your puppy where to go to the bathroom indoors, while outdoor potty training will help your puppy learn to go to the bathroom outside.
It is important to use puppy pads and outdoor potty training together to help your puppy learn the difference between the two. If you only use puppy pads, your puppy may not learn that it is not acceptable to go to the bathroom anywhere else in the house. If you only use outdoor potty training, your puppy may not learn how to go to the bathroom on cue.
