Smile Hello.

It's definitly a struggle to get them potty trained but patience is the key! Don't give them to much room to wander...keep them in an exercise pen, it's just enough and although you may feel bad, these little squirts don't need much room. Feed them twice a day and after they've eaten they go straight to the crate. Which IMO is the best way to do...no pee or poo stains on the carpet that way...about 10 to 15 minutes and they'll have to go to the bathroom..show them where it is and when they go I always give them a little cherrio..this rewards them for correct behavior and lots of praise...just gotta keep going these little ones have very small bladders compared to the bigger breeds and in addition to potty training mine to go outside, I always make sure they are not left for long periods of time to hold their pee or poo. The problem with us is that we start to wear down after so long and let them wander without having our eyes on them. This prevents them from pottying in the right place...I know I'm guilty!
