I can tell that he doesn't want to go inside that he tries really hard to let me know. I have kept him out for about 30 minutes at time to get him to use the bathroom, and he just won't go. Once he started to go, and I started to praise him, and it bothered his concentration I guess, because he got up and walked off, and never did poo.
He doesn't seem to really know what puppy pads are for. I bought some of them just in case, but he isn't the least bit interested in them, and I actually don't want to get him started on them since he hasn't used them before due to fact I have a toddler (who likes to put things in his mouth  ) |
I've notice a couple key things here. You've only had him a few days, so it is going to take some time, he has to adjust to his new surroundings and ways of doing things. Just keep on doing what you are doing, take him out frequently, he will adjust.
When you praise him, wait until he has finished and as soon as you see he has finished, then praise him and reward him if you are using treats as a training tool.
It will get easier
