Toilet training puppy-help

We have had a new puppy a week now we need help with toilet training we've put puppy pads down and sometimes he uses them and then other times he uses my carpet we take him in garden every half hr on lead but he won't always do anything apart from try to bite the lead he's a lhasa apso any advice would be appreciated

You have to persist , it will take time .

Keep taking him out on the garden regular and if you see him cocking his leg up scoop him up and put him out side , he will get the message .

Try him off the lead and shut the house door so it cannot run back in , wait till he pees and then praise him .

We have a young dog and he was hard work as a puppy but we got there

Agreed. It is a lot of work and you feel that you will never get there but all of a sudden it will click. Well worth it so stick with it.

If your using puppy pads always put them near the door . Do not move them around thinking if he gets caught short he will use them, it will just tell him it's ok to go anywhere in the house . When he starts going to the door put him outside and praise him when he does anything. When he's eaten take him out in the garden for a wee also when he's had a nap in fact every few hours put him the garden and praise him if he does anything. It will take some time to train them . Also don't use disinfectant to clean his mistakes use hot water and washing powder because sometimes the smell of disinfectant can act as a marker for them to do it again in that spot .
