When you bring your new pup home the very first day, take it outside first...never let it's paws touch your floors until the pup has pottied outside, give plenty of praise. When taken indoors, only let it roam while you are actively watching or playing with it, when you are not able to give the pup your full attention put it in a pen/kennel. Once the puppy finds out what makes you happy, such as going potty outside, it will continue to do so. A strict schedule is also needed, these babies need guidance, rules and bounderies. Winston has never pottied in the house, not once. He was a blessing, pure and simple. He got the attention he needed to learn what is right and wrong, I could not have asked for a more well behaved dog...but to this day, I swear it was because I took him outside before he was allowed inside.
