I'm new owner also and we are training him to use the pads and go outside. When he starts sniffing around that's a hint that he wants to pee or poo or whenever he is on the bed with us and he wants to get down, that's another hint that tell us that he wants to pee or poo, so I take him to the pads to do his business. What I don't understand is that he will poo on the pads and 2 minutes later he will pee on the carpet or vice versa.
Also, another technique that we use is the crate. When we leave the house He is on the crate for about an hour or so and when we come back, immediately we take him outside to do his business, either he will pee or poo outside and when we get back inside he does his business again, it's frustrating sometimes, but we love our puppy and we are going to train him well.
I hope it helps. |
