Call a vet or animal emergency and ask, they would have the inside scoop

Good luck. I would never want to potty train a pup in a condo/apartment. If you are getting from a breeder ask them to potty train first. In a house it is easier to teach because you can associate the Not in the House do it Outside much easier.

I live in Surrey and my family's first puppy died of parvo. This was 8 years ago though.

Will be bringing home an 8 week old pup next month, and am trying to figure out the best steps for potty training.  Not sure whether to go the full conservative route of balcony training, or take the gamble for outside potty breaks (leaning towards the latter).

Does anyone know the current prevalence of parvo in the Surrey area?
