Q&A: How do you potty train a puppie?
Question by chip: How do you potty train a puppie?
I have an 8 weeks old poodle-terrier mix puppy! This is my first doggie and I live on an apartment and my apartment complex does not have a yard so i can @ least take him outside. I been trying really hard to be patient and teach him not to poop everywhere in my apartment. I’m getting really frustrated, I don’t know what to do. Can someone please help????

There’s this great book called “how to house train your dog in 7 days”. 7 days isn’t really realistic, but it has a schedule and tips for training.

well, first when you see has made an accident bring him to the area and say no very firmly. Then take him outside. You have to keep this up. When he goes outside give him a reward and you have to keep this up too.Good Luck!
Potty training puppy
1. Puppy should be with you (tethered if necessary) or crated if you can’t watch her/him.
2. Feed on a schedule, 2 times a day.
3. Take puppy out right after eating, drinking, playing, waking up, anything exciting, and every couple of hours otherwise.
4. When you take puppy out, go outside with her/him, and quietly wait for her/him to do her/his business. Give her a word to associate with it, like “go potty,” “hurry up,” or whatever you won’t be embarrassed for the neighbors to hear. No playing until she’s/he’s done.
5. When puppy goes potty outside, throw a party! Verbal praise, treats, and playing.
6. If she/he has an accident and you catch her/him, interrupt her and take her/him out immediately. If she/he goes, see step 5.
7. If she/he has an accident and you don’t catch her/him, quietly clean it up. Use an enzymatic cleaner like Petzyme, Nature’s Miracle, Simple Solution, etc. Don’t yell at or punish her/him after the fact; she/he won’t understand.
8. Look into clicker training, it makes training go a lot faster
House Training Rule Number One: This is The Most Important Rule – If you don’t catch your puppy doing it – then don’t punish him for it!
House Training Rule Number Two: Praise your puppy when things go right. Don’t let this be a situation where your only action is saying “No” when they are caught in the midst of using the wrong area. If they do it right – let them know

Always watch him. The second he starts going pick him up in mid stream and drag him outside. It really works. If you can’t watch him put him in a crate.. he won’t go in his little “house” unless its a very big crate.
You put down newspapers and they have a natural instinct to pee on that and poop on it.
My dog was 3 months old when I got her and she learned. In an emergency, she will still use the newspaper.
what we did when we had puppys we got puppy mats thats how we triand my puppys and then we they are older nuff to go they will not pee in the house and we did that to my dog and he pees at the back .
