Start off right when you are house training your puppy. Always bring the new puppy out to your backyard (or other designated place) and let the puppy stay there until he “goes.” Praise him when he is done. You should plan on taking your new friend out at least every two hours for this purpose.

Secondly, remember to feed your new puppy inside his crate. Almost immediately thereafter, take him outside to potty. It is important to be consistent in this practice as this makes the training process go much smoother.When you carry him outside, make sure to set him on the grass. The puppy should feel grass under him so that he can get used to the idea that this is the proper place to do his business. If you think he’s taking too much of his own sweet time in doing what he has to do, try walking around a little so that the puppy will follow you. Walking sometimes loosens him up and makes it easier for him to go.It is also important to remember to take the puppy out to go potty right before bed. This will help to ensure that both you and the puppy get good nights sleep as crying at night may be an indicator that they need to go. If you are woken up to crying, take them outside.After you’ve done this, bring him back inside and put him in his crate again. Try to keep the puppy as calm as possible so that he’ll go back to sleep. If you don’t break from this routine, you’ll find that after a few days, your dog will sleep straight through the night.All of these tips notwithstanding, you should probably lay down newspaper in the puppy’s area so that she will have a place to go, just in case. The idea is that you can gradually move this newspaper further and further away- and closer to the door to the outside.Finally, it is very important to reward your puppy for being good. If your puppy does his business properly outside, show him how happy you are or give him a treat for a job well-done.Do not reward your puppy unless he’s been good. In time, he will know which behaviors work and which ones don’t, and he will try to be as good as can be so he always gets a treat.
