I thought it appropriate in this election year that we should discuss house breaking your gun dog. If your dog is part of your family and lives under your roof, house breaking is the first bit of training your gun pup needs. One dandy trick is to have the litter do their business on newspaper. This trains them from day one what newspapers are for. When we brought Cooper home I asked for a bit of soiled newspaper, which didn’t cost a cent extra. Back at home I placed the well-used newsprint outside where I wanted Cooper to go and he got the idea right off. The trick is too watch your pup closely so you can tell when he needs to relive himself, and then take him to the door and out to his newspaper. So you might ask what is the connection between house breaking dogs and election year politics? Well it all depends on what newspaper you want your gun pup to pee on. If you are liberal you might want your pointer weeing on the Wall Street Journal, maybe the Chicago Tribune or The Philadelphia Inquirer. If you have a conservative bent then the Boston Globe, Washington Post or New York Times should be your retriever’s newspaper of choice. Let us know what newspaper suits your dog's business.
