Good questions
Before you begin.
How often should a condo puppy go out?
Very often at first, usually every couple of hours. A trainer can help build a schedule.
Can I use a pad or turf?
Some owners do. Check building rules and plan a path to real outdoor surfaces over time.
How do I handle crying at night?
Make the bed cozy, keep it near you and avoid rewarding long protests. Ask your veterinarian if it persists.
Is the elevator safe for a puppy?
Hold the puppy or keep the leash short, and keep other riders at a distance.
