Help!!! I got a new puppy

I managed to toilet train my puppy in a couple of weeks, there were odd accidents but when they get into a routine they learn quickly. Take your puppy outside 10 minutes after feeding (after every meal), training and play sessions. Reward your pup very well when it toilets outside by giving attention and a treat. Never punish it when it has an accident indoors it gives out wrong signals. It actually tells them never toilet in front of me, so when you are out walking and you want them to toilet they wont do it in front of you. I use a dog cage too, when we go out the dog goes in her cage, she very rarely goes to the toiet in her cage as dogs don't like to dirty where they sleep. Hope you manage to train your puppy, good luck.

lol . This is really a great discussion. We just got a puppy too and of course the potty training was at the top of the list to get started on with him. After about two weeks of doing the same thing such as walking him and feeding him at the same time each day he caught on very nicely.I bascialy treated him just as I would any child and put him on a schedule. So as each day brings more smiles and more accidents just remember to be patient and think of him ( or her) as a child that needs to be taught. Good luck and have fun , animals are great to have.

First, keep him in a cage inside the house. How old is he? It takes a long time to train them. Actually, you wind up being trained first. You keep it in that cage while you're busy or gone. Have a spot for it to go somewhere inside the cage. This cage could be anything from a room to a play pen. It just has to be the pup's own. A dog won't foul their bed. As it's bladder gets bigger, add more space to the cage. At first, you're going to spend a lot of time watching. As soon as it's done eating or drinking, he needs to go outside or wherever you've designated the potty area. He can't come back in till he's done. As he gets older, it gets harder. Cause now he can hold it for a long time! Keep an eye on it, when he's in the house. If he starts searching, or squatting, get him outside. Some take longer than others. And there are accidents, no matter how fast you are. (Pups are tricky) Baking powder is a must in a puppy house! Good luck!
