You are on your own. This is one of the joys of owning a puppy. Google "housebreak dog " and you will find dozens of sites will all sorts of ideas about housebreaking your dog.

PetSmart has a little program where they'll train your dog. But when it comes to them peeing and pooping you're on your own. They need to learn it in your enviornment so they know exactly where to go every single time. I have a maltese and we set up a little corner in the backyard with newspaper for her and sometimes we'll tell her to go "pee " &she'll understand and goes. If she doesn't need to go she'll head over there anyways and sits down to let us know she doesn't need to go. Good luck!

Sending your dog to another place to train it to be housetrained would be a bit pointless as the dog needs to learn not to do any mess in your own house where he lives. Housetraining is learnt by repetitiveness. The easiest way to train your dog is to place him on newspaper everytime you see him about to do any mess. When he does it on the paper reward him with 'good boy' and pet him. By always putting him on the paper to do his business he will eventually associate that this is where you want him to go and eventually he will go on the paper to do his job himself. When he does this of his own accord you can gradually move the paper closer and closer to the back door until eventually the paper has been moved outside and the dog will go to the back door whenever he needs to toilet.

Its a waste of time. honestly. if you cant train your dog something as simple as not to go potty in the house then how will you train it to walk on a leash properly or not to jump on people. i was discussing this with my sister today. my mother's boss just bought a lab puppy. he is very into hunting and hunts a lot so the dog was for hunting. he decided to go get the puppy a few days ago. yesterday he shipped it off to training for hunting. now tell me what is the point of shipping your dog off when you just got it. honestly. you need to train it yourself. what is the point of shipping the dog off. you dont know what will happen to the dog while it is away.
