Here
are some tips on how to potty train a dog

Potty training your puppy will be different than with older dogs. It is important
to remember that puppies to not have full control of their potty urges until
they reach about 10 weeks old so training them any earlier will just confuse
them and make training harder to accomplish when they are capable of learning.
If your dog is younger than 10 weeks, try to keep him confined to a kitchen or
a bathroom when you can not supervise him, and spread newspapers on the floor
for him. Many people live in an apartment without a yard, so it may be
necessary to train your puppy to go inside rather than outside. There are many
types of inside potties for your dog, and a trip to your pet store, or a good
website, should yield those varieties.

Another tip on how to potty train a dog is to
find a place that the puppy will always go to when nature calls to him. Try to
keep it as far away as possible from his food and water, as well as his bed.
When you catch him circling around or sniffing, or even in the act of going
potty, grab him quickly and take him to his place.
