   There are these new pads that make the dog want to use the rest room on them, they can be found at your local Wal-Mart.

   Put paper in the crate. I don’t suggest paper training as an option in the house. There are litter boxes now for doggies, if you are going to have a small dog. That might be an option. I paper trained terriers, but then had trouble breaking them from going on the paper.

   ok we got a shih tzu puppy and everytime we would put her up she would poop in her cage and wouldnt go outside even if we were out w/ her for an hr and so we got a rabbit cage because then she wont sit in her waste and then when she did go int he house we told her no and put her outside and then into her cage it really helped and one week later she was crate trained this is like the best way ever to train a puppy, but it does depend on what kinda dog u have!!! good luck!

   I recommend that you don’t paper train a puppy. This just confuses them. If you are going to be gone for periods of time longer than 2 - 3 hours, then see if a friend can come over and take your puppy outside. Kennel training is the best way to train a puppy. I used to think it was cruel to cage a dog, but it provides a safe place for them when you can’t be with them and they are less likely to potty in their bed. My dogs are all housebroken, but I still use the kennels to make sure they are safe when I’m not home. They’ve come to think of them as their rooms, their safe place.

   Besides, you can line most kennels with piddle pads until the puppy is old enough to hold it long enough. Makes for easy cleanup.

   I did this a few months ago- although anyone who knows what they’re talking about would advise against it, and I do. Wait for your dog to start acting funny (the way he or she would act before having to go to the bathroom, like pacing.) The puppy will then pick a spot to go. Have newspaper handy and put it where the puppy attempts to go right way. Put the puppy on the paper and praise him. Each time the dog shows signs of having to go, place he or she on the newspaper (or whatever type of material you use). The puppy may choose a new spot so if he continues to go there, move the newspaper (but do not keep moving it to accomodate the puppy.)

   However, you should not neglect house training. Take the puppy outside frequently and give him the opportunity to go out there. When he does, praise him and reward him. Try to only use the paper as a backup. Speaking from experience, it’s probably best to only paper train for 2 weeks. I only did paper training with my puppy because he was 2 lbs when I got him, during the winter, so he practically froze to death when he went outside.

   Don’t.
   Pads and Papers don’t work. Get a crate and housebreak the dog properly to go outside. Cleaning up poop and piss on the floor for any size dog really sucks.
