Paper!

[Genny]

Hey, that can be so frustrating; my little maltese that I have now use to be really bad to pee on the floor. I wasn't training her to go on a pad I was trying to get her to learn to go outside but she finally learned and now she's a year old and never usues the restroom inside!

The way I taught her was I would just take her outside every time she woke up/ ate any food at all/ or just drank some water. She usually almost always had to go to the bathroom when ever she did any of those things...and finally she leanred that she was supposed to go outside so now she waits at the door if she needs to go out.

So maybe try taking your puppy to the pad when ever he wakes up/ eats or/ drinks.

I hope that might help you out some. Good Luck. I bet he's a cutie; what is his name?

My parents Shih tzu was really tough to paper train.. We were forced to paper train him because it was winter when we got him, and there was two feet of snow outside, he would get lost in it for sure.. What we did was put a leash on Oscar and had him tyde to us whenever or where ever we went he would bw forced to follow.. And if he started showing signs that he was about to pee or poop we would scoop him up and rush him to the paper to finish peeing there.. He eventually learned that the paper was where he was allowed to pee and poo, not the carpet..

And when spring rolled around, we hung a bell on the back door above where his paper was.. and whenever he would pee we would touch his nose to the bell and then put him on the grass outside, and praise him alot.. Eventually he learned that he was to ring tthe bell if he needed to go outside... this really worked well with oscar.. good luck with your puppy.. we would love to see pictures
