There has been a lot of mention of tethering on the forum lately, can anyone direct me toward an article about tethering?
"Tethering," as used almost always on this forum, is simply attaching the puppy to you (your belt, your jeans), on a line that's short enough for you to have the puppy with you when he is out of his crate and for you to be able to catch mistakes in potty training or other unwanted behavior before it really happens.
It's also a nice bonding thing; the puppy is with you, his handler, whenever he is not inside his crate.
And it's by far the best jump-start I know for potty-training, because the dog is unable to make a mistake without you seeing it, taking him outside to finish, and then praising and rewarding for outdoor potty. There are no puddles found after the fact, because there was no opportunity for it.

My 2 cents worth.
Tethering is one of the best things I have done for my dog. When she is not tethered, she is still on a line and stays right with me. It really helped the bonding, too.
So far a house training, the mistakes went from several every day. To once or twice a week.
Now I know her signs (which were totally different from typical).
