Awesome dog.

Speaking from experience here in regards to paper/pad training. My girlfriend talked me into letting her get a similarly stubborn breed to house train (miniature dachshund). We tried pad training her at her request(I had never tried this method before so I thought I would give it a shot) and all that we accomplished was training the dog that it was acceptable to go to the bathroom in the house.

So after months of this we had to start all over again and it basically wound up taking us forever to house break her.

I'm going to avoid pad/paper training for every dog in the future. I'm also going to attempt to stop letting my girlfriend talk me into [censored], but we all know that I'm going to lose out on that one.
