Stick with that first few weeks you try and make sure pup is outside to "go" which requires great vigilance on your part! Watch out for excited pups, this is when they are most likely to lose it! Pups soon get the hang of it! Ohh! Confess! Have only actually ever house trained one pup when I lived in London! Was hard work! My later pups have been from when I moved here to Welsh Borders, UK! Didn't have to train them, they followed the cats out though the flap and trained themselves! Pups naturally want to be clean!
