puppy toilet training

When we got Luigi he weeing and pooing on the floor. I had to mop it up too! If you hate your dog for this read on.

Keep the dog in a pen with a floor of newspaper. Take him out for a wee every 5 minutes. Try to work out the time that your dog has a wee. Take the dog out for a wee at the time he has a one. If the dog wees or poos outside give him a treat, and say 'good boy'. You can then let him play outside his pen in the house for a while. If he doesn't go outside, put him back in his pen for another 5 minutes and then try again.
It took us 3 months so be patient. Don't yell at your dog if he has a wee on the floor - just ignore him. It has worked for us. I hope it works for you.
