I've been getting great advice here. Thanks guys.
I have a bit of a problem. I've broken a bone in my foot. I'll be in plaster 6 weeks. My boyfriend has a demanding work schedule and I'm in a foreign country. So basically it's me in sole charge of the puppy. He's somewhere between 6 and 12 weeks old. He's not yet housebroken. We were persuading him to use the bathroom floor whilst roaming around the flat but that's a no go now. I'd slip in it. So we'll try the putting him in a pen and taking him out every hour to use the litter tray method. That way I won't slip in anything I'm not suspecting or get knocked over. I thought I could hold him and bum shuffle over to the litter tray and hold him there. Will that work? (eventually. I imagine in the beginning we'll have a lot of accidents.)
I know changing his routine like this isn't ideal but the alternative is I break my neck.
