I've heard that before but haven't had any trouble house training my dachshunds. People like to house train with pee pads. I don't. I think it confuses dogs to think they can go in the house and later on they can't. Bob Barker, my dachshund that died at 17, was taken outside about every 3 hours during the day when I first got him at 5 yrs old. He finally got the picture.
