He will mainly be inside the house.
the first thing to remember about House Training A Puppy is there ability to hold themselves is limited. a rule of thumb is they can hold "it" usually 1 hour for each month of age. 2 months old = 2 hours, 3 months old = 3 hours, etc. when your puppy wakes up (morning, nap, whatever) the pup has to go, right then! take the pup out. when the pup eats or drinks, it has to go, take the pup out. after exercise (play), take the pup out. when the pup does it’s thing outside praise it. a lot. tell the pup how good, how smart it is. you have to pay attention to the pups "looking for it’s spot" behavior. when you see that behavior indoors, whisk the pup out. if you catch the pup in the act, simply tell it "NO!" and whisk it outside. if you find a puddle or pile after the fact, clean it up with an enzyme cleaner (pet food store) get a newspaper and hit…. yourself in the head and say "i should have been paying more attention" daytime training they get pretty fast. night time training is easier if you crate train the pup. also remember the one hour/one month rule. you will have to get up through the night to take the pup out. good luck

Put it in a big box where it can’t get out. Take it outside every hour or so. Praise it when it goes. It won’t go in the box ’cause it is his bed.

well first lay down some newpapers in one place to avoid confusion. eventually he’ll learn where to pee and poo. always reward him/her with treats or a hug when he/she does something right. never give harsh punishments to your puppy. you have to act like it’s mother now. give it lot’s of tender locing care. sooner or later he’ll be the perfect house dog.

It depends on how old he is. The best way would be to crate him when you can’t pay attention. Take him out every 30 minutes around the clock, yes, even overnight for the first week, 45 for the second week, 60 for the 3rd week, so on and so forth, after the third week, you can increase the time by 30 minutes instead of 15. Until you work up to 4 hours then eventually 8 hours. Praise him lavishly every single time he goes out side, and stand out there until he goes, even if it take all day! Praise him immediatly upon going. Clean up inside accidents immediatly. If crating get a crate that is only big enough for him to stand up in and turn around in.

the best way I found was keep the puppy on a routine take he/she out every 30 min. and and if they go give them a treat and praise the puppy and if you have to leave the house put the puppy in a dog cage in the house and as soon as you get home take the puppy out I’ve had so many puppies and this works quickly every time just make sure you show the puppy a lot of attention and praise it alot when it goes outside and if it does go in the house and you see it right then take the puppy rub its nose in it and tell him no and take him straight outside don’t yell at the animal just be stern it will work

Crate training! Keep the new pup in the crate with a towel on the bottom with a soft plush toy and a chew toy. I take my pup out in the morning for about an hour (7-8am). In this hour she, goes outside to do her business, play, eat (food and water) and then back in her crate. Then she sleeps in her crate until about 12:00, I take her out and do the same thing. Then I take her out again around 5 and do the same thing. Now if your pup is young, you may have to take her out more often to relieve herself. My pup has never spoiled in her crate. I follow the same routine until she goes to sleep at night. The last time I let her out is around 10:30. At night, bring the crate in the bedroom for at least the first week or two and then if you want you can gradually transition her to another part of the house. As much as you want to play with your pup, just remember they sleep been. 16-18 hrs. a day and they NEED their sleep. Good luck- pups are so much fun!

I’ve found the best way to go is crate training. My husband and I have had many dogs, and at one time we were helping to raise his friend’s puppy! We’ve crate trained two Labrador Retrievers, and two Saint Bernards. We used the crate as sleeping quarters and a "safe haven" for the pups to stay when we weren’t there. We also worked out a plan one of us would be home for the first two weeks of their arrival for MOST of the day. We took them outside once every 15 minutes (yes, 15), and they quickly became house trained in about a week or so. Also, when out of the crate, we always kept our puppies on a leash (but no collar or leash at night when they went to sleep in the crate). This allowed them to get used to having the leash, and kept them very close to us, in case they decided to sneak somewhere out of our sight! We did the leash thing for approximately one year. Lots and LOTS of chew toys always help, too, but watch out for the rawhide…only allow that for supervised playtime (they can swallow it b/c it gets soft, and could choke). Finally, always be in the mode where you’re "training" your dog. He/she shouldn’t get a treat without earning it. I’ve also been reading up on the Dog Whisperer, but noticed that some people do not agree with his approach. I think the best way to go about training your dog is to find out how it acts first, and then determine which is the best route to take (for example, most of the Dog Whisperer’s training deals with dogs that are trying to act dominant). Good luck!

it depends on how old the puppy is I would say if its a small puppy let it get use to the house before u try anything, and whatever you do don’t let him mark his territory(pee spot) in your house you know if hes sniffing around,but also sniffing around can mean hes getting use to the smells or the new environment.

Take him outside every 2 to 4 hours and let him go before he comes back in.They have small bladders and need to go out often.Once he goes praise him and go back inside,he will get the idea.They sell puppy pads for days you need to be gone longer.They are really good for puppies.Good luck.
