 A puppy can easily be taught to wipe its feet on the doormat when entering house. and the habit once formed is seldom broken. The modus operandi Is simple. Every time the dog is brought to the door the command Is given, Wipe your feet" The trainer then lifts each paw in succession and pulls it twice across the mat.
