What a beautiful doggie Lovey dubby

When we bring puppies or dogs home and they are not trained, they will have accidents in the house.

Wipe their tinkle with a towel/rag so it will have their scent.

Take the towel outside and put it where you want them to go potty and put a rock or something over it so it doesn't blow away.

And then, just like training a human toddler, take them out every once in awhile to the towel area and they will learn to potty outside.

As for bowel movements, I don't remember accidents with them doing that but I would pick it up in a paper towel and put it wherever I would want them to potty.

As far as how often to take them out, it could be every 15 minutes to up to every couple hours. Reward them a small biscuit when they go potty outside and praise them and tell them how wonderful they are. If they go in the house, tell them NO, and immediately take them out by the towel. If they go, even if they tinkled in the house, they still get a biscuit. Whistling

Our pets eat all organic food and biscuits. They eat better than we do Big Grin

They train very quickly. Thumbs up
