loo training puppies...

I am just reading a few books, and in one book (how to housebreak your dog in 7 days..) says you can take pup out until its had its injections etc, and that you shouldnt let it go on paper in the house....... so i am confused say pup is 6-8 weeks old for instance, you cant take it out but you cant let it go indoors..... so what do you do?! or am i reading this wrong?!

You can't take pups out into the big wide world before their injections but its ok for them to go in your garden

ahhh say you have no garden though! so it would be jsut outside the front door? but dogs walk past there.......so is that ok?!

I wouldnt chance it. You can put paper down in the kitchen or bathroom until the pup is old enough to go out.

hiya, but it says not to do that.........!!!! it says that will confuse pup?! whens is ther last injection, 16 weeks? but it could take him round the other way where no dog goes?! the back door?!

You should be having injections at 8 and 10 weeks , well we do here in Wales. Everyone I know puts paper down for a pup, it will confuse the pup further if they are unsure where to do its business !! I put paper down at the back door, its close enough to being out.

I always put training pads down by the back door for georgie of a night time, and he went in the garden during the day.

He is 14wks old now and hasnt done any 'accidents' in the house for about 3-4 weeks now which I think is outstanding. He has stopped going for a wee in the night now too.

I was also concerned about putting paper/pads down in the house.... surely this is only teaching them to do their business in the house???

P.s Georgie had his injections at 9 and 11 wks old....

i read injections are 8-10-12 (i think....im prob wrong)

thats wat i thought!
