a great idea for house breaking them is to use newspaper...once he gets used of it, start taking a few pieces away every day...then when u r left with only one piece, take him with u outside and put the paper on the ground where u want him to go pee, and leave it there and let him smell it...stay with him outside and praise him if he pees on the paper...
Sorry for assuming ur puppy is a he! lol...i wasnt sure so i just guessed haha
