Dog Training has four essential qualities that combine brain and brawn: trainability, desire to work, speed and athletic ability. All are equally important if a dog is to reach the pinnacle of this sport. "Brain doesn't do much good in a body that can't carry out the instructions, and athletic ability isn't very useful if the dog isn't trainable or doesn't have the desire to work," It's no surprise that six of the top 10 agility breeds are herding dogs. These breeds are known for their focus, desire to work and high energy levels. And, besides being capable of learning many commands and signals, herding dogs have a heritage of working on their own, often at great distances from their handlers. 

Most people don't have the time to take a young puppy for as many relief walks as it requires (at least every two hours). The temporary use of an indoor doggy toilet confines the problem of going indoors to a small, protected area. While paper and litter box training is a necessity for most people, it does have a few drawbacks. The transition can be made easier by making the indoor toilet as similar to the outdoor toilet as possible. As strange as this may sound, you can get a slab of grass turf or a thin slab of concrete and place it in a large plastic litter box. Also, remember to make an effort to take your dog on leash to the indoor toilet so it learns to feel comfortable with you there and so you can reward it for going in the right, albeit temporary, spot.
