| New puppy owner help pls!! Hi guys, well I'm new to the site and owning a puppy! Iv had a Yorkie before but I was very young and she wasn't a pup, but from what I remember she was trained and didn't go toilet in the house! My new pup won't use the puppy pads and just goes everywhere! She doesn't have preference to a specific spot so no where I can put a pad where I know she will go. Any tips for this please? I have tried putting her straight on it when she wakes and keeping her on it but she still won't go! Also any tips on stopping her chewing my hands face and hair? When she does I tell her no and put her down on the floor but after iv left her for a while and pick her up she just starts chewing straight away, she's got loads of toys etc which she also chews. Thanks guys any help would be great as I'm feeling a little lost now |

| an ex pen to confine during the potty training process really helps. of course you dont need to keep her in it 24/7 but mainly when you cannot be right there every second to watch her. put the pen in a room where you spend most of your time during the day. The living room for example. line one side of the pen with the potty pads. on the other side put her bed and toys and water dish. when you see her use the pad praise her and give a treat. it can sometimes take awhile but she will catch on... |

| When your pup chews you, say "ouch!!!" loudly. Or NO. The point is getting his attention at you and then correct. If he chews furniture, try those sprays that are sold @pet stores. Potty training is the most difficult stage because it's not easy and it's highly fustrating. Pups have a very small bladder so they can't hold much and not for long. Take him outside to the yard 10min after eating/drinking. Always have treats with you to price when he does what you expect. They get used to pee on pads because people cover the flooring of play pens with them,so they pee there & get used to. Welcome n good luck. Be patient

| My Emy was like that, chewing everythiing with vigor!!!..I bought her bully sticks, safe hard rubber toys. I've had her since June, she is now almost 6 months old and has gotten alot better, she knows not to chew on my feet (socks) or hands, cause I say 'no bitey' loud and she stops...she is teething also, so that contributes to the obsessive chewing i'm sure, i've found 3 teeth so far, she spit one out....the others I found on the floor. she would potty everywhere when I first got her, she is still only allowed in the kitchen, but now when she pottys on the peepad while she's peeing I say 'potty for a treat' and I immediatel give her a treat after she's done....she now pees on the peepad exclusively, she won't poop on them though, she goes over to where her leash is hanging and looks up at it...she never does anything right after eating or playing, for her its 5 or 6 hours afterward, I don't think the food comes out that fast....she isn't peeing so much now either, it all takes time, a work in progress....but it will change for you, as she gets older. |

| Hey everyone thanks for your advice! Since my last post I bought some Puppy Aid Training spray by Simple Solution from Pets at Home and it has certainly helped. She now takes most of her wees on the pad but still does lots of little wees randomly everywhere, there tiny like rain drops - will she grow out of this? Also any tips on how to go through the transition of peeing on the pad to outside? Cause at the moment I see no light at the end of my tunnel! Lol Thanks again everyone. Also she has already learnt sit, lie down and paw -- she is only 8 nearly 9 weeks old so she must be clever, still hope of teaching her to pee outside I guess! |

| shes still really young so give her time! she will get it down and once she has the pads down and have been vaccinated fully and you can walk her make a huge deal when she does wee outside and shell learn to do both!! patience and consistency are the key with potty training.

| I think confining her and having a consistent schedule where you take her out is key. If you can't keep an eye on her, she needs to be confined to an exercise pen or crate so she won't have potty accidents. Make sure to take her outside often so she has the option to potty outside instead of in the house. Good luck!

| I agree with the others. You need to confine her to a very small area where there is just enough room for a bed & a puppy pad, nothing else. (I used a hexagon shaped kids play pen and took two of the sides out so it was a very small square pen). You are basically creating a situation where she HAS to go on the pad, as she'll most likely not want to soil where she lays. When she does go, praise her & give her a yummy treat! Hopefully, with a few times of this, she will learn what to do. I know it's hard because you want to have her out & running around, cos new puppies are so darn cute...but a few days/week of creating an environment for successful toilet habits, will pay off.
