any advice on potty training a puppy approx 12 weeks old?

Try using the puppy pads for training also there are training crates you could try too.

Yes. Buy a cage. Every time it poops/pees in the house. Yell at it, Rub its nose in it, and put it in its cage. Keep on doing this till it learns.

yes you can train a dog 12 weeks old. i help out with the guiding eyes for the blind organization (dogs that help visually impared persons). i get puppies for about two weeks and we have to train them, like going up stairs, no nipping or bitting and most importantly, house training. the way we do this is simple. take the dog outside right when it wakes up, aprox. 15 min after every meal and before it goes to bed. when we take the pups outside, we have a code word like "get busy.". we say this when they are outside in the grass and say it in a calm nutral voice. stay outside and continually say that until it finishes its buisness. then, in a high piched happy voice, prais the dog (do NOT use treats for this). rub the dog, pat it and praise. then go inside and continue you daily routine. if your dog has a accident inside: if you see it happening in that moment, pick the dog up (does not matter if it is still going) and bring it outside and do "get busy". say "no" as you are picking the dog up to go outside. if you find an accident that has already happened, no not repremand your dog. he/ she will have no idea what you are yelling at them for. just clean it up and try to get it right the next time. pups can be great and a handful so i hope this helps!! good luck!

Give a hoot, read a booook.

Wrong do not listen to melissa m.

u need training pads for him to get to so he starts learning where to go praise him when he goes on pads if u see him go on floor a firm no and out the back he goes not for long never rub their nose in it dont trauma them every hour put him out side for toilet praise when he goes.move the pads closer to the door, if he does anything in the house and u didnot see him do it u cant give him a row he wont know what the row is for be positive it will happen

im still training my puppy and what i do is take her outside every hour or 2 and if she pees i give her a treat try that
