    Hi there! And welcome!

    Wait til applesmom sees your puppy!
    Very cute little baby..
    If I may suggest- do not train your puppy to paper train because it just teaches the dog to go in the house. I am sure a 10 week old keeps you busy, but in the long run, it is easier..
    What a doll baby!!! And WELCOME! I warn you though- this site is addictive!

    WELCOME to Pet Talk!!
    Oh what a Cutie Pie you have there!

    If in fact you are paper training, I personally found it useful because I could move the paper closer and closer to the door, and eventually put the paper outside. But house training is as different as each breed of dog is for the dogs as well as the people doing the training.

    I hope you stick around and share more pictures!

    Its hard to get a method. It depends on how long the puppy is left during the day, the age( we know), and feeding habits. If you give those 3 pieces of information maybe I can help..

    the pup gets fed 3 times a day with about half a cup of hills science plan puppy mix, he would very rarely be left alone as my mum is home most of the day.

    Oh that is great!! Okay- take him out when he wakes up, let him play, back out as play makes the blader tighter, then feed, then back out. I usually let my young ones play a little bit, then take them out to pee before nap time. He will have to sleep alot at this age. Out side trips are mostly early am or later pm.
    You didnt mention a crate if he takes a nap in them. Either way- just watch him and when he wakes up, outside. In another month the trips out will decrease to- out in the morning, then play a little and eat- back out. If any wild play- then out to pee but it slows down how often he will have to go. I usually take a puppy out before they eat and after they eat and after play. A puppy usually increases in activity if they have to go- like looking for a spot but not willing to slow down..
    All puppies should learn the concept of a crate. Even if its just at night to define a sleeping pattern. Also later in life, this will help them understand a crate is " not a puppy eater" like if they go to the vets etc or even riding in a car..

    It works- but it takes like a baby sitter. Just remember- when they get up, outside but walk calmly to the door so its not a wild trip for the puppy, then inside to play- just watch- you will see the activity picking up speed- back out.
    YOur baby is 10 weeks old- in a month this wont be so many times. When the pup goes out as he is peeing- say low and quiet and calm " hurry up " ( or whatever the word) and as he finishes praise but not over zeolous. This makes puppies nervous. The " hurry up" works later when its raining, you go out side and the pup goes " duh- why are we out here?"... lol.. Or if you are somewhere that the area is different. I found this comes in handy at a truck stop or something when traveling because my guys never see that many cars and all where I live- they get dumbfounded.. lol.. A little " hurry up" gets the subject back on track.. lol..
    *** One more thing- if the puppy goes outside- then starts playing outside for a while, remember to do the hurry up ( whatever) before you come in..
