I have a 17 week old Labrador Retriever puppy, any suggestions on potty training? We live in a condominium and the puppy came from a rural area.

I generally recommend crate training especially for large breed dogs. Get a crate that she can stand up and turn around in. Start a routine for taking her outside after meals, before you leave home, and put her in the crate whenever she is unsupervised. It will help establish a safe place and get her into a rhythm. Just be consistent and she'll figure it out.
