Provide your puppy with scheduled meals. What goes in on schedule, comes out on schedule.

Keep your puppy on leash or bring him to an enclosed area for his trip to the potty. Don't let him use this trip for play time.

Make your pottying trip different from your trip for going on a walk or going to play. Especially avoid going for a walk if your puppy does not urinate or defecate. Your puppy may learn to "hold it" until he knows for sure that a walk will follow. Return to the house if the trip outside was not successful.

Reward urinating or defecating with a treat or a walk.

Always take your pup to the same spot to urinate or defecate.

Associate a word with the behavior by using it just before or during the action. Be sure to pick a word or phrase that does not crop up in normal conversation!

Take your pup out after sleeping or napping; eating; or after 10 minutes of play.

Confine or closely supervise your pup to prevent mistakes.

If your puppy does have an accident in the house, calmly pick your puppy up and bring it to the place where you want it to go potty. Punishing your puppy for going potty inside can give her the message that she should not go potty in front of you.

Clean up any indoor accidents with an enzymatic cleaner that removes the odor as well as the stain.

If your puppy regularly has accidents in the same location indoors and you are sure the area has been properly cleaned, start to feed your puppy there. Dogs eat and go potty in different locations, so your puppy will tend to avoid pottying where she eats.
