How Do You Potty Train Scottie Dogs?
The Scottish terrier, affectionately known to its owners as a “Scottie,” is generally a fun-loving dog with lots of energy.

Once your Scottie is potty trained, it is unlikely he will have bathroom accidents but until then, patience, persistence and consistency are required. Choose a small crate, just big enough for your Scottie to stand up, turn around, lie down and stretch out. Furnish it with a soft pad or an old blanket that your dog will enjoy. You will use the crate as an aid in potty training your Scottie so make it comfortable. The more he likes his crate, the harder he will try not to soil it. Begin potty training your Scottie as soon as you bring him home. Puppies younger than 5 months old should be given the opportunity to use the bathroom outside immediately after waking from a nap and after they finish eating or drinking. Set your dog down outside
