The breeder sent my baby home with a playpen (for human baby) that she bought in a yard sale. She told me to split the bed in half, put his bed on one side (size to fill up the entire side), and pee pad on the other side. Since dogs hate getting their bed dirty, he always pee and poo on the puppy pad. After he's older I started taking him outside and put puppy pad on the grass. He is now fully trained to go outside on the grass. Just remember, one step at a time.

Hope this helps.
You have a very wise breeder. I have a 4x4 x pen that divide in half and then divide one of the sides again into one 3x2 area that fits the pee pad and a
1x2 area for sleeping. I have a doorway cut in each piece.

When my puppies are 3 weeks old they will leave the bed and go to the pee pad. Then when they get a little older, they venture over to the big side for playing and eating.

This early training pays off when it is time to house break them.
