Good questions
Before you begin.
How soon will the puppy be reliable?
It varies by age and breed. Many pups improve within weeks, but young ones need frequent trips for months.
Should I scold accidents?
No. Clean up quietly and reward correct trips outside.
How big should a crate be?
Large enough to stand, turn and lie down. A trainer can help with sizing.
Is one lesson enough?
Often it starts the plan. A follow-up may help with adjustments.
