Steps
Choose a crate just big enough for your puppy to stand, turn and lie down. Use the divider to shrink the space as the puppy grows so it will not soil its bed.
Set a fixed feeding schedule, usually two or three meals a day at the same times. Remove the water bowl about two hours before bedtime.
Take your puppy outside first thing in the morning, after every meal, after naps and after play. Go to the same spot each time.
Put the puppy on a leash and stand still. Give it 5 to 10 minutes to sniff and circle, and say a cue like "go potty" quietly.
Reward with a treat and praise the moment it finishes. Do this within a second or two so the puppy links the treat to going outside.
Bring the puppy straight back inside and either watch it or put it in the crate. Do not let it roam free in the first weeks.
Take the puppy out once during the night for young puppies, then stretch the gap as it grows. A puppy can usually hold it about one hour per month of age.
Clean any accident with an enzyme cleaner and take the puppy outside right away. Do not scold it, since punishment teaches it to hide.
Tips and common mistakes
Watch for sniffing, circling and heading to the door, and take the puppy out at once.
Keep trips boring and short so the puppy learns outside is for potty, not play.
Feed meals in the crate and keep the crate small with the divider to reduce accidents.
Stay consistent for at least two weeks before expecting reliable results.
Questions
How often should I take my puppy out?
Roughly every hour while it is awake, plus after meals, naps and play. Young puppies need more trips than older ones.
What do I do when my puppy has an accident inside?
Clean it with an enzyme cleaner and take the puppy outside immediately. Do not punish it, because that makes it hide the behavior.
Can I use pee pads instead?
Pads can help in the first weeks, but they can teach the puppy to go indoors. Going outside from the start usually works faster.
