Presidential Puppy Training

Anyone who wore Nikes in the early 1990s will remember the "Bo Knows" ad campaign. As the TV spot went, Bo Jackson, a professional baseball and football player, knew how to do everything - tennis, hockey, basketball, you name it. The only thing he wasn't cut out for was guitar, as Bo Diddley told him at the end of the ad.

Bo Obama, the presidential puppy, is off to a similar start. The sweet little Portuguese Water Dog knows how to be snuggly and adorable. He has already signed - or pawed - a book deal. But if he's anything like the puppies we know, the one thing he doesn't know how to do is control his bladder.

Looks like Bo should get to know Fetch Dog's puppy problem solvers. It would be wise to keep a pack of Puppy Training Pads in the Oval Office. These absorbent, disposable pads have a waterproof backing, and they're infused with a scent that attracts dogs to where they're supposed to go. When a puppy simply can't wait, these make sure the floor doesn't end up covered in urine.

Ditto for the Portable Dog Potty, a more permanent solution to the Obamas' White House-breaking challenges. Its grasslike surface is also treated with an attractant, and while it's great for training, it also works well in situations that prevent dogs from going outside - whether in an apartment, on a boat, in a camper or in a cold climate. It drains instantly and is easy to clean, too.

For first-time dog owners - even presidential ones - it can be hard to know whether a puppy is whining because he needs to go outside or because he wants to play fetch. With Puppy Training Bells, the message is loud and clear. These hang from a doorknob and dogs snout them them when it's time to go outside. They have a 95 percent success rate and come in a variety of patterns (we think the Burberry-inspired plaid is a perfect fit for the fashion-forward Michelle Obama).

Once Bo has been housebroken, there might be a few slipups. And with a schedule like Obama's, the evidence could be long gone by the time he gets back to his living quarters. With the Urine-Off LED light, he can go all forensic on the White House living room - even long-dried urine glows when exposed to ultraviolet light. If the carpet looks like the scene of a crime, we suggest a little Urine-Off Spray.

Of course, the first pup might not have any slipups at all. Like we said before, Bo knows.
