The Importance of Dog Training
Recommended Answer:
I would suggest getting a crate, it makes housetraining SO much easier.
Make sure you take your puppy out about every 2 hours at least. Also after he eats, drinks, or naps take him out for a bit. When he goes outside praise him and give him a treat and be REALLY excited to show him it's the right thing. When he goes inside just say NO (but only if you caught him in the act). Never rub his nose in it or hit/tap him, puppies don't know any better and this doesn't help.
When you go out keep him in his crate (dogs wont go in there crate unless you leave them in there to long) and when you get home immediatly take him outside. At night before you go to bed let him go outside and then after he goes put him in his crate and in the morning get up and let him out again. Also don't let him drink/eat anymore about an hour/half our befor you go to bed so he isn't full and won't have to go.
Good luck!

- Fill a can with small pebbles or coins. If you catch your puppy in the act of peeing or pooping inside, shake the can to startle him into stopping, then take him outside to finish and to teach him that that's where he should be doing it.
Praise him when he goes outside (try giving him a small treat each time), and ignore him when he goes inside. Make sure you take him outside often because puppies can have trouble holding it in. Try to figure out what signs and body language your puppy shows when he has to pee or poop and take him out when you see them.
There will be a few accidents. Just be patient. There is a product called Nature's Miracle that is good for cleaning up messes left by pets. - Heres my advice.....because your pup is still very young,he will have accidents.When I have a new pup I block off the kitchen so he can't wander the house.Then I make him a bed(in a crate)and his water & food area,and newspaper down for peeing etc.I do this because giving free rein to a pup in a big house is too much for them.They can't find were the papers are when needed.I'm not saying don't take him elsewhere in the house,just not without supervision.Once your pup is peeing on his papers,its time for him to learn to pee like a big dog...lol.It helps that it is summer and doors can be left open.You have to watch your dog closely.They will sniff around,perhaps circle around while they are looking for just the right spot for a pee.You need to take them outside,perferably out the kitchen door.When he pees outside you praise him and give him a treat.It will take a little while for him to catch on,be patient!Never rub their noses in it,or hit them!Remember he's just a wee babe,he'll figure it out!!
- every time he does his Business in the wrong place tell him NO show him ( like point at it and say NO) and take him to the place hes suppose to do his business
(If you want him inside buy those square pads i don't what there called) - take him outside every single time he tries to pee or poop
