Housesoiling is always near the top of the list of behavior problems associated with relinquishment. Dogs also take a fair amount of abuse in the name of pottying. I have a current advanced student in Fort Lauderdale, Helen Verte, who is dazzling in many ways, but who has outdone everything I’ve ever seen on the topic of housetraining. It’s a one-hour, twenty-buck webinar, with the two great virtues of dead-on accurate, field-tested, can’t-fail information and engaging, client-friendly language and examples.

Muah to her for this contribution.
Anyway, It’s called “Housetraining 123” and is here:
