Hi there...if everything goes according to plan, I'll be bringing home a little guy puppy home this weekend. Obviously I'm excited but also starting to panic.

Is it possible to housetrain a dog and have 2 different outdoor potty areas? I live in NYC on the fifth floor, with no elevator. I also have access to the roof deck just a few steps up from my apartment. I'd like to be able to take the puppy out to use the bathroom both downstairs and also on the roof, depending on how much time I have, and also how urgent the situation is...

Does anyone think this is a recipe for disaster? Will it confuse him? Should I stick to only one area?

I haven't considered doing indoor potty training, mainly because my apartment isn't the biggest. Should I?

Thanks so much in advance for all your help...
