TEACH
HIM TO HOUSEBREAK
Stick to a definite eating schedule for your dog. Dogs generally relieve themselves soon after eating. A definite schedule will help the dog anticipate his times. Take the dog out for a walk ten minutes after feeding. He may be attracted to a patch of grass or a pile of ashes and attend to his duty there. If he does, take him to that spot every time. If possible, walk your puppy with another dog. He learns faster this way.
As soon as you buy the puppy, placing 2-3 layers of old newspapers on various places where the dog can think of relieving himself is one way. Then you can remove the papers from other places once he selects a place. But if you strictly don't prefer the house, make sure you take him out after ever feed. Ideally, three to six months old puppies should be taken outdoors at least five times a day; six to nine months, four times and older dogs, three times a day.
When your puppy spoils a wrong place, let him know that he has committed a crime. But don't beat him or rub his nose in the mess. Scold him severely, place his nose in close proximity to the spot, and take him out immediately. It will be too late but he will eventually get the idea. If he continues to err, repeat these proceedings until he learns. You can give him several sharp slaps across the rump with a folded newspaper. He will feel ashamed.
