Answer 1

Why don't you want him to pee outside? Crate train the guy, and you'll both be much happier. Who really wants smelly urine in their house? Here is my standard crate training info, if you're interested (sorry 'bout the gender- I cut-and-pasted it from one of my other answers).

There are dozens of books and trainers that will give you more information, but the basics are this:

Eating or drinking stimulates the puppy's need to go.
The puppy will not soil its own sleeping place.
Consistent praise or punishment will imprint in the puppy's mind what is appropriate or inappropriate behavior.
Don't forget that the dog's mom also praises an corrects the puppy, using "dog language," i.e. a growl or the mom using her mouth to pin the puppy from the neck, or licks and squeaks for encouragement or praise.

To crate train, initially when the dog is alone at home, when you're sleeping, or when you can't watch the dog, put her in the crate. When she is let out of the crate, she goes straight outside- you should watch and praise her when she goes. Right after eating, she goes outside and goes and gets praise. If in either instance she doesn't go, she goes back in the crate for 15 minutes. Then go outside again, repeating the cycle until she goes. It should only take a few repetitions of this cycle until you don't have to watch her outside- leave her out for a few minutes, then let her in.

When she's inside, she MUST be watched. If she goes, a firm "NO" is given, pick her up by the scruff of his neck and put her outside. If she gets away with peeing or pooping in the house, she doesn't learn. There's a balance between prevention (letting her out so she doesn't even have the urge when inside) and correction (you don't want to punish her a dozen times, but a couple of corrections aren't bad because it gives her guidance as to what is proper behavior).

Answer 2

We actually suggest that dog owners NOT train their dogs to go on wee-wee pads or newspaper, because this trains the dog to eliminate inside your house instead of outside. The dog cannot distinguish between it being OK to pee on the pad, and not on any other paper or fabric on the floor...

To train a dog to go outside, you need to first put the dog on a feeding schedule. We suggest feeding the dog at the SAME TIME every day. This helps to "program" his bowels and bladder to regular feeding and elimination times.

Don't leave food out for the dog all day. If he eats all day, he'll poop all day. But keep plenty of fresh water available to him.

((Keep in mind that puppies don't have any conscious control of their bowels or bladder until they're about 16 weeks old. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't start training your puppy right away; it means that he may still have accidents in the house until he has better control of his body.))

Dogs usually have to potty about 10-15 minutes after they eat, when they first wake up in the morning, and when they wake up from a nap. Use these opportune times to take the pooch outside. As soon as he goes potty, praise him a lot for being a good dog.

Dogs will also walk in tight circles with their nose to the ground when they have to go to potty. Whenever you see this behavior ask the dog, "potty outside?" and take him out immediately. Again, as soon as he goes potty, praise him a lot for being a good dog.

If you're consistent and vigilant he should be house-trained in no time.

Answer 3

I've got a suggestion, stop using newspaper and take him outside. Remember: dogs are not born knowing they go potty outside, not on your rug.
Crate train and when she is not in her crate watch her every second. Dogs go through a routine before they eliminate, some sniff, some circle... when you see that pick her up and run outside and say hurry up (whatever you want the cue to be). If she goes outside, praise her ton. Not just a "good dog", throw a party, run around in circles, give her a piece of cooked hotdog.
Obviously you must take her outside often, I would say every hour, but dogs must go after they eat sleep and exercise. Take her out, say hurry up, when she goes praise and go inside.
If you take your eyes off of her and she goes and you don't see her doing it, that is your fault, do not punish her because she will not know why she is in trouble. If you catch her in the act, make a loud noise to stop her and rush her outside. Praise her after she goes. Don’t smack her if she pees in the house, she may just try to hold it forever and develop bladder problems, something you really don’t want. Don’t correct after the fact. If the dog is corrected after the fact, it will not connect the correction with the behavior, and will begin to think that corrections are random, and that the owner cannot be trusted. This results in a bad relationship and a dog that does not connect corrections, which are believed random, with bad behaviors even when they are applied in time. When she does have an accident, be sure to clean it up with natures miracle or something made specifically for urine stains or she will go back to that spot to eliminate again.
I cannot tell you how helpful a crate has been in housebreaking my puppy. He has never had an accident in his crate and when I get him out of his crate we go directly outside (I carry him) and he pees.
I do not recommend pee pads or paper training. When you use pee pads, you are teaching your dog to go potty in your house. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want my dog peeing anywhere in my house, pee pad or no pee pad.

Answer 4

put newspaper down on the places that he went and he should get used to peeing on them, if he keeps moving then section him off and newspaper the whole area.

Answer 5

Put him in a small room then line it with the paper after about a week he should go on it.

Answer 6

over the final year I even have potty knowledgeable 4 doggies. no longer a small feat in case you question me. i stumble on the terrific answer is, in case you have the time, to take the pup out each and every so usually. in spite of in the event that they dont ought to bypass. tell them "to bypass potty" and while they do appraise them. Scold them while they bypass potty interior yet given which you spot them doing it. different sensible its ineffective. Its a fabulous style of artwork. yet interior the top youll be happy to no longer ought to p.c.. up potty messes everywhere. As for the newspaper if he/she is fidgeting with it. She doesnt understand what it particularly is for. I tryed to potty mats. To no avail. frequently with the aid of fact they chanced on it grew to become into something to play with. My advice is to take him/her out each and every 45min or so till he/she is familiar with. purely like human teenagers its terrific to coach at a youthful age, the recommendations remains coming up.

Answer 7

there are training mats that you can pick up at any pets mart or petco. and they make your dog want to only urinate on them, no matter where you put them. better then newspaper and it acually helps house train
