Huh? Absolutepositively give your puppy a treat everytime he potties in the right place! Dogs are not born with any idea that they should go one place and not another. The idea that they should is totally a human invention. So the only way to communicate that going in one spot is better than going in another is to give them an incentive to do it. The incentive for animals is a reward of some kind and food is a primary motivator for animals. So the fastest way to communicate with your puppy about what your wishes are is to give a treat when he does the right thing, and withhold it when he doesn't.
