When house training your puppy it is very important to be consistent and involved. It is never an easy task teaching your new puppy to "go" where you want him to go. The first step when training your puppy is to remember that he is, after all, a puppy. Like a new baby he cannot be expected to learn the first time and never have accidents afterwards. It takes time and patience.
1. Take your new puppy outside and let HIM mark the spot. Don't force or rush your puppy. He is marking his "territory" and if allowed will return frequently. This consistency will help avoid messes and other problems in the future.
2. Use a command that your puppy understands. Say it every time you take him outside to go. Try something like, "do your business", or "potty time" etc. but don't expect miracles right away. The most important part is consistency.
3. Make sure to shower him with praise. When your puppy successfully goes potty outside, make sure he knows you approve. Cheer and give him love and affection so he will know he is doing the right thing. When your puppy feels you approve, he will want more attention and will slowly begin to do these things on his own.
4. Don't forget that your puppy is just a puppy. He may have to go often and he may be slow at getting started. Many puppies will have to take a potty break about every 1 to 3 hours. Scheduling regular routines will help your puppy to better adjust and make it much easier for you.
5. If you prefer your puppy to stay indoors, you may consider crate training as well. Crate training will also usually be necessary for vacations and times when you simply cannot be at home with your puppy.
