Before we begin, we must make it clear—it is far preferable to teach a dog right from Day One that outside is the place to eliminate.

We don’t recommend paper training unless there is a specific reason why it is necessary— if you have a puppy and live in a high-rise apartment, for example, or if you have an untrained dog or puppy and you have mobility problems. Training a puppy or dog to eliminate indoors results in confusion when you first attempt to take him outdoors to eliminate. By this time, he has learned that it is acceptable to eliminate in the home and may have developed a preference for eliminating on a specific substrate, such as \papers, housetraining pads or adult diapers.

Training a puppy or dog to use a papered area in your home is accomplished in essentially the same manner as training him to eliminate outside. First, confine the puppy or dog for a period of time so that he is reluctant to eliminate, and then bring him, on leash, to the paper. Wait until the dog eliminates, and praise and reward him with treats for eliminating in the correct place. If the dog has an accidents anywhere but on the paper, you should shriek to startle him, pick the dog up or take him by the collar and run to the paper so he can finish in the appropriate place. Restrict the dog’s access to a small area of the home so you can monitor his whereabouts. If you gradually increase the dog’s access to new areas of the house, you will maintain his inclination to return to the papered area. If you are unable to keep an eye on him, he should be confined to a small area where he will not eliminate until he is fully trained.

Some dogs are sloppy about staying within the boundaries of the paper. Make sure the papers are replaced frequently, so the dog is not forced to move off the paper to avoid getting his feet soiled. It often helps the dog to understand exactly where he should eliminate if you somehow delineate the space with a visual marker. You can set up low garden fencing to surround the area with an opening for the dog to move through, or provide your dog with an indoor bathroom, such as the Patio Park. These contain a two- by four-foot section of grass, kept alive by a self-irrigation system. The grass is surrounded by a white-picket fence and fronted with a yellow fire hydrant. The sod needs to be sprayed regularly with odor neutralizer and replaced monthly. A less attractive, but highly effective alternative solution is to place a plastic tarp on your balcony (it must be enclosed, please!) and cover the tarp with grass sod. The benefit of using sod is that the dog develops a preference for eliminating on grass, and so will be equally comfortable eliminating outdoors.

Whenever ur dog goes on the carpet get a rolled up newspsper and beat his butt. Tell him how bad of a dog he is to discourage him from wanting to do it again.Then immediately set him on where he was supposed to go and tell him a special phrase such as "Go potty here. Not on mommy's floor!" or "Don't do ur buisness on mommy's floor go potty here!" Make ur dog sit down on the newspaper for about a min or two, just enough time to scold him. Although I would reccommend crate training your puppy it works! Good luck.

use the dogs mouth as a scoop to pick up the poo and keep its mouth closed untill you place it on the paper. They hate this and after 2 times they get the idea.

Get a little used playpen, in one side you have newspapers on the other she can sleep, she will learn not poop where she lives...then eventually leave newspaper on the same spot and when she uses it, praise her and give her a snack she likes, but only when she is obedient.
