I noticed that by smearing a tiny bit of his poo on his training pad, he'll understand that's where he should go. I have had my boxer puppy hendrix for 2 weeks (he's about 9 weeks now) and it's worked well for him! He's great with peeing on the pads, but I still have to monitor him and bring him back to his training pads as a reminder. I watch while he goes poo to make sure it's in the right place (aka not all over my house! Haha) and he's catching on quickly :)
Another thing I notice is he doesn't go in the same spot. I laid out 5 training pads and he tends to go pee on one end and poo on the other. Might just be him, not all pups, but who knows! I hope that helps you a littlle! ... View related article.
Oh! Please! Whatever you do don't rub your pups nose in it if he has an accident or get really upset. I've been told by numerous people that once you do that to your puppy, you confuse them and scare them, so they start hiding little "presents" around the house (since they're scared you'll get mad if they have an accident). Just thought I'd put that out there!! Happy training :) and congrats on the new addition. ... View related article.
