Bringing an adult dog into your home demands as much

effort from you and the family as does a puppy. It’s a

mistake to think that just because the dog is full-grown and

may have been potty trained in one home, that he’ll just

immediately adjust to your home’s elimination schedule,

too.

That’s not realistic. The dog has many adjustments to his

new environment and doesn’t instinctively know that you

don’t allow peeing on the floor – especially his prior owner

didn’t mind or didn’t seem to care.

Don’t make the mistake of assuming that because he’s an

adult dog that he’ll just “know” what to do. Start with him

as if he were a puppy and gradually teach him the routine

of your home’s pet potty schedule.
