<h1>The Most Important Thing You Can Do To End Your Dog's Potty Training Problem</h1>Author: <a title="John Hedge" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/john-hedge/237520.htm">John Hedge</a> You have probably been potty training your dog for a few weeks now, months perhaps, and still she is not properly house trained. You thought you had finished training her to pee outside, when you came home one day and found she had weed on the lounge carpet.

All you do is clean up the mess and carry on with the potty training. It might not be easy to do this, but it is the best way. You must be patient when potty training your dog, and be prepared for the occasional setback.
