Puppies will have a hard time fully controlling their bowels and bladders for at least 6 months.

]]> 57566 2 44 Tip If the weather and circumstances permit, you can paper-train a dog at the same time as you’re housebreaking her.

]]> 57567 3 50 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/133498/50.jpg Install puppy gate Confine your puppy or dog to a small area—preferably one with an impervious floor such as tile or vinyl—by installing a puppy gate. Choose a part of your house where you spend lots of time, so your pooch won’t feel lonely.

]]> 57568 4 62 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/133498/62.jpg Line floor w/ newspaper Line the floor with plenty of newspaper.

]]> 57569 5 68 Tip Newspapers run out fast when there’s a puppy in the house! Your neighbors may have a stash they can give you.

]]> 57570 6 74 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/133498/74.jpg Set up training area Put the puppy’s bed, toys, and food and water bowls in the training area as well.

]]> 57571 7 79 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/133498/79.jpg Give her a treat Whenever your dog eliminates on the newspaper, give her a treat. The puppy will eventually equate doing her business on the paper with being rewarded.

]]> 57572 8 88 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/133498/88.jpg Replaced newspaper Replace the soiled bits with clean paper. Your puppy might want to play with the nasty paper, so check from time to time that the entire floor is still covered.

]]> 57573 9 99 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/133498/99.jpg Remove newspapers Dogs generally dislike going to the bathroom near where they eat and sleep, so they’ll eventually begin to do their business in one specific area. Once your dog has been doing this for a few days, gradually remove all newspapers except in this area.

]]> 57574 10 113 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/133498/113.jpg Let dog out of training area After the dog is reliably using only one small patch of newspapers, you can begin letting her out of the training area into other parts of the house.

]]> 57575 11 122 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/133498/122.jpg Watch for signs Watch for signs that your dog needs to use the paper—squatting, circling, or sniffing the floor. You can then rush her to the papered spot. Remember that puppies need to eliminate frequently—about every 45 minutes.

]]> 57576 12 136 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/133498/136.jpg Move on to housebreaking Unless you live in the top floor of a high-rise and have a tiny dog, paper-training is just the first step. Now you and your pet are ready to move on to housebreaking!

]]> 57577 13 146 Fact A small dog that’s been paper-trained can also be trained to use a litter box, which is helpful for homebound or elderly dog owners—or owners who like to sleep in!
