HI, we are new to this too.. we have had our puppy 1 week, he is 12 weeks.. Just a wee guy..
I had read on this site about the book "How to Housetrain your Puppy in 7 days"..
We read it prior to picking our puppy up..
And he has not had an accident yet!! We keep him on a schedule for eating, and if he is not with us, (which he usually is) we crate him.
In just a week, he has figured out what going outside to his "spot" is for, and usually always goes potty within a few minutes.. The first day or two we would have to walk him around the spot for 30 minutes to an hour, until he went.. but, he gets better every day!!
I'm sure there will be accidents, but the book is a Floor saver for sure.. |
