   first don’t train your puppy to potty on paper. this confuses a pup on which to potty on, inside or outside. you are best to get a crate and crate train the pup. you don’t want months down the road to try and read the paper only to find your puppy went potty on it. crate training works best if you have the correct size crate. the pup should have enough room to stand up, turn around and lay back down. it also provides the pup a safe place to be, so they’re not out getting into harmful things in the hosue when you aren’t there or able to watch them. make sure you plan plenty of exercise time for the pup also. 2 walks at least a day is best. here is a great site on crate training. it not only will tell you how to do it properly, but why crate training works so well. good luck, and congrats on your new pup!

   Use training pads. My dog had puppies, her puppies aren’t even six wks. old yet (they’ll be 6 wks. in 3 days) and they’re already going on the training pads!! I get them at Wal-Mart, they’re in the dog section and the brand is OUT!. They’re scientifically formulated to attract your pet to the pad and are 10 times more absorbent that newspaper (this is what is written on the package). They have baking soda in them to control odors after the fact.

   Yes, do the crate training. My wife’s dog was Paper trained and NEVER got off it and still to this day poops in the house on pads for dogs. I hate it. It try to take her out as much as possible but she still poops on the pads. Yes I have tried to remove the pads all together but she goes where the pads would be . Big hassle. Do it right from the beginning. Can be a pain but WELL worth it to you and you puppy. Lots of walk too, get him/her use to them.

   Congratulations on bringing a puppy into your life. The breeder has proberly started the paper training in the whelping box. Puppies do not like to mess where they lay. After eating or sleeping, imediatley taken to your chosen spot. Praise for a good job. Do keep the puppy confined to a small area when you can’t watch it. My Granddaughter just bought a book "House Training for Dummies" as she was getting a dog.

   I live in an apartment building and I have a 10 wk old puppy (I got him when he was 8 wks old). It would be impossible for me to take him out every single time he needed to use the restroom –the wind chill where I live is below zero degrees Fahrenheit!! Since I got a pomeranian, I decided to litter box train him. It is going very well. I highly recommend it. The only thing I would do differently is use doggy litter instead of the kitty litter newspaper pellets because my dog keeps trying to eat them!! I ordered a wizdog litterbox with a grate that allows urine to go down to the newspaper and the solid waste to be caught on the surface. After a dog poos, you can flip the grate upside down and let the poop fall into the newspaper. Check out the website if interested:

   As soon as you get home you should take the puppy outside to his designated spot. That way he can mark his spot right away. Puppies usually go on the same spot all the time. If you can’t take him out because of the weather, then I suggets you use newspaper and designate a spot for it where the puppy can have access to it. Do not put newspaper all over the place because that confuses them. Make sure that when you take him you tell him what he is doing (potty,poo,paper) and when he does it praise him. Make sure that you take him to his spot 25-20 minutes after he eats.
