Use lots of news paper on the floor that care of the peeing.
By the way do uyou have hard wood floors if so try use thick
newpapers like 6 to 8 pages.

I hope you have tile in other rooms that puppie in.

But u have to train it to do it on the paper .
Give it little click with newpaper on it butt,
not hard just that he hears that noise.
It will show him

By the way why doin put him in the den or bedroom or bathroom if big .
This he learn to go in a place of the house till u train him go outside.

Get leash to walk him outside too that help lots.

When you are at school, and cannot be watching him, the best place for him is a crate--it is the smartest thing you will ever do. He won't mess in his crate, because it is his den, and you won't have anything to clean up when you come home

I totally agree with lovemyshiba! If you teach a dog to go inside even if he is a puppy, it is harder to teach him to go outside later. Crates are wonderful!

I agree!!

it sounds good but he will need to go sooner or later and he can't hold it in for 6 hours and also he's a puppy he will need exercise instead of keeping him couped up for 6 hoursin a little cage.

Chewy was kept in a crate for 8 hours while I was at school and he was a puppy. Probly 4 months when I started to put him in there for long periods. He never peed or pooped in his crate. Everyday when I came home we went for a walk or played in the living room.

I have already started to "try" to teach him to use training pads so won't it confuse him if I switch methods, and I don't exactly know how or what crate training is I mean I think i know but I would need some more explaining. And also just because he's in a crate how wolud he know to go outside?

[lovemyshiba]

Most dogs will not go potty in their crates, because it is their "den". They do not want to mess in there, because that is where they sleep. I know there are a lot of differing opinions, but some say to feed them in the crate also, to make it more of a pleasant place for them, and to make sure it is comfortable for them. The main reason for the crate is to keep them out of trouble!! Think of how much stuff a pup can get into when you're not home!!!
I know there are a ton of resources out there for crate training--type it into your computer and see what you can come up with.

[puppygrrl4eva7]

ok i think i will look into this crate training but do you think it will confuse him if i switch methods?

[Demigodess]

It might confuse him at first, but if from here on out you are consistent, he will adapt. It's amazing how successful crate training can be because you are catering to the dogs natural instincts (keep the den clean).

Puppies can hold it a long time in the crates because they sleep a lot in there. Just make sure the crate is not so big that he can potty in one corner and sleep in the other. That would defeat the point.

Puppygirl, I had such success houstraining Jake that I think you might want to try this. Jake only had one accident in the house the entire time I was housetraining him.

Every single second that he's not in his crate, keep him with you on his leash. With Jake, I just hooked his leash to my belt loop. Bring him everywhere you go - to the bathroom, while you're typing on the computer, everywhere. Keep him where you can see him, at least out of the corner of your eye. As soon as he looks like he's getting ready to go to the bathroom, say "papers!" or "outside!" or whatever and run him as fast as you can to the area where he's allowed to go. Then wait for him to go and praise him to high heaven when he does it. With Jake, saying "outside!" loudly startled him enough that it prevented him from actually going until I got him outside.

Every moment that he's not with you, keep him in his crate, until you're sure you've got him trained.

It only took me a week and one accident before I had Jake dependably trained - and I was being careful. I think he had it pretty much down pat after 2-3 days. Training him to pee in the right place was easy, but the poopy thing was what took a little longer (since he only goes once a day it took a little longer to get the practice).

Good luck!!!
