I'm not sure why you want to #1 confuse your dog like that and #2 Start a situation you may well not be able to stop.

People have a tough enough time 'stopping' their dogs from going indoors. If you 'train' your dog to do this, you're sending mixed signals.

Your dog will not only urinate on the papers but probably anywhere else it wishes AND have bowel movements. What are you going to do when you say 'it's okay now' to go indoors then in the spring when he urinates in the house you say 'he can't' and have to retrain him. It's not fair to the dog and you'll end up frustrated later on.

It's pretty simple. Are you a first time dog owner?

Just think about those lovely spring walks you'll take to the park and you'll wonder why 'fido' doesn't go outside in the park. Then as soon as you get home and open the door, down he squats.

I dont know of ANYONE who would recommend you training him to go indoors.
