I also believe that it takes a few weeks for your puppy to really bond with you and grow to love you based on your initial interactions with him. In the beginning, you are just this huge stranger who took him away from his mommy and siblings. Playtime, cuddling time, and positive interactions are EXTREMELY important during this time (and forever).

I wouldn't become too upset about the inevitable accidents right now. Just gently correct him. Once your puppy really bonds with you, he will do almost anything to please you. Then you can start getting more serious with the potty training.

GOOD LUCK!! And remember, it may take a LONG time before your little boy is accident free.
