NOTE:  All play time should be supervised.  Keep your puppy in exercise pen whenever you are not directly supervising them.  Do not allow free access to the house yet, as that will only result in making house training mistakes.  If they pee or poop in the wrong  areas, they will return to those areas more and more.  Clean these areas well to remove any scent!•Be alert for signs (sniffing, whining, scratching, and circling) that he has to go potty, say "potty" and take him quickly outside or to puppy pad.  If he goes, praise him and give him a small treat when he does "his business" there.  Never punish an accident.  He won’t understand and may learn to go when you are out of sight• 

Take him out the same door and to the same spot every time.  This will create a "Potty for Life" spot."Potty for Life":  If you are wanting your pup to potty in the same area of your yard every time, follow our "Potty for Life" tip:• We  recommend setting up a small pen in your grass or outside potty area for him to hang out at potty time. This should help him get used to going potty outside and also encourage him to head to the same spot when he has to go!  We discourage playing with him at this time.  Keep letting him know to do his business.
