What a cute puppy!!! HeHeHehe
Tips for potty training:
Don't let the dog out of your sight. Keep him in the same room as you all the time. Because to successfully potty train a dog you need to avoid accidents inside and to reinforce the dog for going outside.
Puppies will need to go to the bathroom when waking up, after a nap, after playing or when excited. Always bring him outside after his naps! And praise him, pet him and give him treats after he goes outside!!!
Don't give him a treat while he is doing his business, wait right after he is done. Otherwise he might stop and he will still have some left.
Say "Duties, Duties, Duties" while he is doing his business outside for the entire first week. Then the second week you'll be able to say Duties and he'll go pee!
Always catch him in the act. If he pees in your house, say AHHHHH!!!! and bring him outside immediately, don't forget to praise him after he's done.
Do not ever rub his face or his nose in his accidents - that will not help!
Puppies will sniff and walk in circles seconds before they have to do their business, be on the lookout for that.
Play a lot with your new puppy! You want to develop a good bond with him that will last his lifetime!
Don't let him play with your other dog yet. He's too small and too young.
Start crate training him for short periods of time. Don't let him out if he is winning, crying or barking. Yes the first few times he might be barking for four hours, don't let him out. But obviously get him tired before you put him in his crate, and keep him in there for really short periods of time in the beginning!
Make sure your crate is small enough, if it's too big he will do his business in one corner and sleep in the other.
Try to clean the urine off the carpets and floors using a deodorizing pet formula that will get rid of the smell.
Have fun!
Take LOTS and LOTS of pictures!!!!! He'll grow pretty fast!!!
Oh and don't tolerate any biting.
You can focus on building a good relationship with the dog and potty train him until 12 weeks of age without no ill effect.
