Does anyone have any advice on potty training a puppy?  email this discussion to a friend?

We just purchased a 11 week old Shih Tzu puppy. This is our first animal that does not live in a bowl or cage, so basically we are clueless. She is very good. We are trying to crate train her which is going well. She really does enjoy being in there, so that is one problem solved. Our only dilemma is knowing when to take her out. My husband and I are so paranoid that she will go in the house we are taking her out constantly. Anytime she sniffs around we are wisking her outside. I swear the poor thing will never learn to sit on the floor. We have been told to give her about a minute and if nothing happens bring her in. Seems we are always throwing our shoes and coat on. I am sure our neighbors are laughing hysterically at us, but I want to be consistant. Are we being to paranoid?

I got a little bolognese puppy last october, she is about 7 months old now, I didn't crate her because i am home 24/7 but i was thinking of getting one and prob should of got one anyway. But for her bathroom all i did was put down a bunch of newspaper in a quiet corner where no one disturbs it, and i showed her and told her to "go" and when she did I praised her and sing and danced and praised her for going, -the breeders i bought her from said they had begun training her on paper so it's what i did and it's worked great, she has had more than a few accidents but i don't yell at her too much , just clean it up and just show her the spot where she went and scold her a little and say a firm "NO" and then put her on the paper and tell her thats where you go. It took about 3 months to now have zero accidents! And of course she goes outside too when we go out for walks. So just be consistant with her and she will learn where she can go and should go. And they go alot- they can't hold much, My little Olive is her name just had her spaying done too, and she is really doing wonderful. I reccomend getting lots of differnt chewys, and rubber chewy toys for her and give lots of attention to make her feel secure. If i can do it,you can do it. and there is all sorts of info on the web too, just search puppy training.

Cherylk44,
Thanks so much for the advice. Your little one is adorable! We just had Tayah groomed again tonight and they put valentine bows in her hair. If I can get a picture I will post it in my photo section.

These puppies are all so cute! :) I'm jealous. My husband said he thought about buying me a dog for Christmas, but that probably wouldn't have been a good idea. We would have had to drive up to his parent's house and leave him or her all alone.. and I shudder to think what that would mean. Our cats wouldn't have liked it much either! LOL

It's been years, though, since I've helped potty train a dog. And we didn't use crates at all back then. Inside the house, we always used newspaper, and I don't even recall how effective that was. Sorry I'm not much help. Good luck with your puppy! :)
