   HI there I just got a puppy myself just a few days ago and he is about 6-7 months of age.
   What I am doing since I stay at home I am letting him out every 1hr or so . 1/2 hr after he eats. and right after he gets up from a nap . I am working on him sitting down right now also. I keep saying the word sit and gently push his behind down and when he does I give him a treat. He is doing pretty good on that right now.
   When you do take him out ask him if he needs to go outside or potty or whatever phrase you use and keep the same phrase so he / she knows what youare talking about.

   I am also locking him up at night. I found a nice little kennel at walmart that looks almost like a tent that collapses if you go camping or somebody is watching him for you. I put him in right before I go to bed and first thing in the morning i leash him up and take him straight outside to potty and praise him and give him a treat. I will keep him in that till I know for sure when he is potty trained. I have another dog and I dont want a big pee mess going in the house with them .

   Also if you work through the day make sure you keep him in a big enough cage with some water not much, some chew toys, and he will have accidents. Spend alot of time with him in the evennings and work on the potty training. It can be done it might take alittle longer then a person staying home with the pup but dont give up .

   Also, I know some people dont like this but it has always worked for me and i have always had loving dogs. If they do piddle in the house and you are catching them in the act, I make him smell it not really rub his nose in it but let him know that is his mess and gently swat him on the butt with a paper and tell him no bad boy and take him straight outside.

   If you are consistent with them usually you can have them trained in a matter of weeks

   Good luck and have fun

   Oh yes if you h avent had him fixed yet get it done very very very soon . He is a male dog and will try to mark his territory all over the house and make a real mess. In fact mine is going in on Wed to have the operation and right now I have to keep a leash on him so I can keep a eye on him because of him trying to mark his territory

   I would take your new puppy to puppy classes. I got a bulldog 2 years ago and we took him to puppy classes and it just helps teach your new puppy what to do and what not to do. It’s nice too because if your having problems you can always bring them up in class and it’s an excuse to get you and your puppy out of the house and play with other puppys. Classes really helped me and I’m sure if you have the time they’d help too. The puppys really like it too.
