Answer 1

Theach the dog the comand of relieve of pee or hurry etc. any word to tell them to relievethemself.To do this you will need alot a time.when the dog is doing its bisnes, kepp repeating the comand relieve or what ever it is.You also have to make sure the dog knows the difference between grass and carpeting. Say out side or out make sure the dog is on a leesh and when the dog goes from outy to in or in to out soay out or in. You will need to lead the puppy from out to in and in to out.

Answer 2

Like any other puppy - Expect no sleep or undisturbed time for 3 months...

ALWAYS take the puppy out when it has: slept, played, eaten, drunk...
The natural thing for the dog is to pee/poop after activity or sleep, so use the opportunity to take it out immediately.
No long "walks" - 5 minutes per month-age of dog is a good timeframe.
(A 2-month old dog= max 10 minutes....3-months old max 15 minutes....) DO NOT SCOLD the dog if it has accidents indoors - it is not it´s fault, you just need to keep your eyes peeled and learn the signs when it is time to get it out. No excessive praising outside when puppy pees or poops either - light and relaxed comforting and praising words in a normal tone of voice -highpitched voices tends to rile the dog up, low voices are used when mildly correcting and setting boundaries. If puppy is blind due to slow development or nourishment issues, cortisol and vitamin B can be administered by a vet - Our 2-year old male was still blind at 10 weeks - developed a "tube" of fair sight on the left eye, and is doing great. If you have not already trained blind puppies before - take the time to learn how well his/her nose and ears co-operate to help with getting around.
Do not move furniture around at home if possibly avoidable.
Do regular walks every day, 2 or 3 rounds so the dog gets to know the route - Short and familiar routes gives the dog confidence and minimizes stress.
Instead of a leash and collar, try a harness and a 3-6 feet long stick/pole that can attach to both sides of the harness - Like a horse, the dog will soon learn to feel the pressure/support/guidance from the sides, like the rider´s heals/legs on a horse. Again - Expect and plan for no uninterrupted sleep for 2 months - Pay now by getting up and getting out 10-15 times per day - The reward is 10-15 years long, when the dog does not have accidents indoors. Best of luck!

After each meal, and every few hous take the puppy outside. When it does its business outside, make it a big deal. Praise it, pet it, and give it a treat. If you catch it going inside the house, say NO which should startle her and make her stop. Then bring her outside to allow her to finish. Consistancy is key. If you are consistent, your puppy will soon catch on.
