Hi!
I'm getting my puppy in two weeks. It's a little mini pomraninan pup, male. I'll add a picture down below. I have a question. I wanna potty train him to go outdoors but also indoor. I want him to be able to walk out on our balcony (4th floor apartment) and do his business on a "fresh patch" or a turf box with fake grass. Basically we are taking him outdoors in the mornings for walk and play, but then when we go to work we want to have the balcony available for him and for him to go potty on there if he needs to and if we run too late to get back in time in the afternoon. In the afternoons or in general when we are home we don't really want him to have access to the indoor potty, this is just available to him when we aren't there.
So my question have any of you some suggestions to how to potty train this behaviour? Should we teach him one way and then transition? In that case what should we start with? Or should we train it simultaneously, and if so, how any suggestions? This is my fourth puppy (I grew up with dogs) but this is my first very own. Hope anyone can come with good suggestions
