Paper training is the process of potty training a puppy or potty training a dog to toilet on a piece of paper that you have placed in a particular area of the House.

You can purchase special absorbent paper that has an odor neutralizer from decent vet stores but many dog owners simply use newspaper.

The idea behind paper training is to gradually make the paper smaller and smaller until you are able to completely remove the paper or place it outside.

Using paper when housebreaking dogs or puppies has its fans but also its detractors.

Many trainers feel that if you are training your dog to potty in the House how can you expect him not to get confused and have accidents around the House - after all you are training him to potty in the House.

If you are paper training your dog or puppy and you want to move the paper to another area.

You will need to thoroughly clean and neutralize the smell left behind by your dog's excrement - you can do this by purchasing a odor neutralizer or by mixing some vinegar and water.

The reason for this is that a dog's pee contains ammonia and if he can smell even a minuscule amount on the floor where the old paper was he will continue to potty there.
