The Right Attitude – You should never assume the puppy is going to learn the right lessons (without your assistance of course!). You will need to be patient and consistent in your efforts.

While you may be tempted to respond to the whim of the puppy, it is important to realize that most puppies will need to go outdoors within 10-15 minutes after they eat or drink, after they wake up from a nap, and after exercise. As you are providing food and water for the puppy several times during the day, you will need to provide a consistent time for your pup to relieve itself.

Maintain routines – The puppy’s home is probably going to be his regular area, so it’s important to set up a consistent place for him to sleep and eat. This is usually the kitchen since it is where you can have easy access to the food and drinks for him.
