<< I'm have a hard time house training my lab puppy. Does anyone have a good idea to help? House training puppy.? >>
My puppies 5 weeks old and we just got him two days ago from a breeder. They said to use the puppy pads and we do,but he doesn’t know how to use them all the time yet. Hes a house puppy too small to go outside, so how do we get him to use it inside? He wines when hes in his pin as has to go, but he wines all the time and just doesn’t sleep at all at night, what do I do?
He needs to go back to his mommy until he is 8 weeks old!
He isn’t even two months old and you expect him to learn where to potty already, he is not old enough to be away from its mom!

We successfully housetrained our dogs by using treats. However, yours is so young at 5 weeks old…usually it is recommended they don’t go to homes until at least 6 - 8 weeks of age. I would take him to the puppy pad several times a day. If he uses it, praise him with lots and lots of love. If you see him trying to go somewhere other than the puppypad, pick him up asap and just place him on the pad. If he goes there, praise him again.

You can’t train a 5 week old puppy to do anything lol. But good luck with that!
You can try to get it to use pee pads in the mean time, but that’s about it.
The thing won’t even be able to regulate its own body temperature.
3 weeks too young to come home.
