Litter Train Your Dog

Not sure why people litter train their cats but not their dogs. I picked up a small breed dog (6 lbs.) from the shelter in the middle of a cold and snowy winter. Poor Apple shivered and shook so bad whenever I took her out. I felt like I was torturing her. I did some research and decided to litter train her. I found a book that really helped: The Ultimate House Training Guide I followed the instructions from the book and Apple picked it up quickly. It was a little tricky finding a litter that is right for her. Tracking was a big problem with regular cat litter. Somehow dogs track a lot more litter than cats. I tried the traditional non-clumping litter, the scoopable crystals and finally pine pellets. They are called Feline Pine or Feline Fresh and they are great. They are natural and environmentally friendly. I'm not worried if Apple accidentally ingests a little and they don't stick to her paws like the scoopable crystals. Anyway, now she's happy. She can go outside when weather is nice and she can go to her little box when it's too cold!
