Be consistant. Puppy have small bladders. Take him out often at least once an hours. Praise when he does his business. DO NOT SPANK, YELL OR PUSH HIS NOSE IN IT WHEN HE MAKES A MISSTATE. The misstate is yours. He does what nature call and you have to teach him where the correct spot is. You can actually take him to the same place in the yard when you want him to go. I don't paper train because you are teaching him to pee in the house on paper on the floor. And eventually he will pee on the wrong paper.
You can use those papers you buy at the pet store for emergencies and when he begins to learn take the pee-pad outside and eventually you can do away with the pee-pad all together. These are good when you are going to be gone a long time and he does have an emergency spot.
If you can't watch him close, put him in a crate. Then take him out as often as you can. But you may have to listen to some crying and you don't want him to think his crate is punishment. Crate should be a good place.
The most important thing is be consistant or he will not learn.

I have a dachshund and she or he is now a yr. I suppose a few puppy breeds are extra susceptible to being higher at condo breaking, and a few are fully cussed (like my little lady). I did repetition along with her. It took her approximately three months to eventually get the idea of "adequate I need to move to the toilet at the dog pad", and now she not ever has an twist of fate. Although a few folks say you should not permit your puppy to make use of a dog pad, and that you simply must take them out at the grass. Anyways, What I did with my dog is approximately each 25-30 min (the primary day) I could placed her at the pad, with restricted area for her to transport round it and wait a pair mins and allow her move. If she had an twist of fate at the carpet, I could placed her instantly at the dog pad. Honestly, it sucks condo breaking a dog. But I desire I helped a little bit. Congrats for your new dog regardless that! Good good fortune! EDIT- The cause I recomend dog pads is on account that, I are living in an condo wherein I can not get external and allow her move at all times, 2d whilst I move to paintings and I depart her within the kitchen, she demands to visit the toilet someplace. Honestly, considering she has been condo damaged I haven't begun to have her have any injuries or every other dangerous conduct come from her utilising the dog pad.

to potty train, put a bell on your door handle, every time you take your puppy outside take their paw or nose and have it ring the bell, that way whenever they do have to go outsede they will not scratch at your door. then whenever your dog goes to the bathroom outside give him/her a treat and lots of praise. When they go inside say a firm no and place them outside.
To train a dog how to sit you will need to have it in a standing or layin position. Take a treat and put it just above their nose raise the treat and their nose should follow it, b ring the treat slightly back and then say sit as soon as their rear end hots the ground and give them the treat.
good luck with your puppy

It's takes months to train them to ring the bell on the door in the meantime you've got piddle all over the carpet.
Best thing honestly is for you to go to PetSmart or Petco and pick up a book on housebreaking, it's more indepth and detailed.
Easiest way is thru positive reinforcement at all times. they will need to go out 30 times a day to pee. Set the timer for 1 hour - 2 hours, when the timer dings take your puppy out to pee, leash up and walk him to a spot in the yard you want him to go, walk around and use a command word like Pee Pee or Quick Quick. The puppy will probably want to jump around and play, keep circling until he squats, AFTER he finishes praise him really well say good pee pee and give him a treat, sliced hot dog in dime sized pieces work great. Then walk around again till he poops, repeat above, with praise and reward of a treat. If you've been outside for 15 minutes and he doesn't go bring back inside and contain for 10 minutes and then try again.
A puppy will need to go out:
1) immediately when you wake up in the morning (no time for coffee or sleeping in)
2.) immediately after playing
3.) immediately after waking from a nap (his nap not yours)
4.) and 30 minutes after each meal
Best and easiest way for you and the puppy is to develop a schedule, take out at the same time every day, this way you can schedule their potty. Keep a calendar and write down the times you take him out till you start to see a pattern, even if he has an accident write that time down so you'll know how long he can wait between bathroom breaks and adjust your schedule accordingly. Over time you and your puppy will develop a schedule and he'll soon learn to signal you. Make sure you go out the same door each time so he knows, that's the potty door eventually he'll stand at it when he needs to go. Until he's housebroken you will need to follow HIS schedule, when he's housebroken you can train him to YOUR schedule, he gets up when YOU get up, he goes out when YOU take him out etc.
Look for signs like circling and sniffing the ground that is a sure sign he's looking for a spot. Do not allow the puppy to have the run of the house he can get out of your sight for quite sometime and you will not be able to watch for the signs he needs to go. Confine to the kitchen with a gate across the entrance and put some puppy pads down incase he has an accident.
NEVER, NEVER NEVER, punish if he has an accident on your rug or anywhere. If you didnt' see it happen there's nothing you can do about it, clean it up REALLY well so the smell doesn't encourage him to go again. If you catch mid squat, clap your hands and shout OUTSIDE and pick up and take immediately outside to finish, when he does praise and reward.
Over time he'll learn to associate the outside with the bathroom. Limit the number of walks he gets right now until he's associates the outside as the bathroom. If you enjoy taking him out for walks, take him to your yard first to go bathroom, reward and praise, THEN take him for the walk as a reward for going to the bathroom outside.
Most people assume that taking the puppy out for 20 minutes on a walk will help make the association, WRONG, immediately when they come back inside the dog pees and they can't understand why. Unless shown in a way the dog can relate to they will never make the association. And because they've been allowed to pee inside on a pee pee pad then the association they've made is that the inside is for peeing and they will literally HOLD it until they come back inside from their walk.
The reason I stress never punishing for an accident is because dogs cannot associate the act of going with the mess they made, so if you punish the only thing the dog will understand is that you are mad at the mess on the floor, so in order to prevent you from getting mad the puppy will hide from you when he goes, when this happens they become fearful of going in front of you and when you take outside to go the end result is they won't go.
Good luck with your new puppy and remember, PATIENCE and CONSISTENCY is key. Find something that works and stick with it to avoid confusing your puppy.
