To start your puppy housebreaking, the first thing you'll need to do is buy your best pup a nice training collar, a leash and a dog crate. How big? Which type? See the How to Train My Puppy Fast Track System. You need to either get one made of nylon or the soft leather type.

Know this- your puppy will hate the collar and leash for a few days. Don't give in. You want to win this one. It is the foundation that you will build on to have a relationship you can be proud of.

When he gets bigger, you can be a bigger collar- but for now just get one.

Yes, puppy training can be simple- IF you know how to do it right from the beginning.
