I still have no idea why... we as humans... have such unrealist expectations of small, very young dogs. We want them to learn something in a week or two or three that it takes a human child a matter of years to learn and train their body to control.
TIME, patience, consistency and reward for the right behavior trains a dog. Resist the urge to punish, that accomplishes very little other than a dog that will hide when nature calls. In just a few short weeks = 6 to 8 usually, the puppy will be trained. Have patience, praise the dog when it goes outside and it will learn. Dogs by their very nature want to please, so give it a chance to do just that, learn what pleases.
