By laying paper inside you are training him to go inside.

Take him outside wait for as long as it take for him to go and then
praise him profusely. Within a few days he will be house trained.
It is one of the easiest things to do ( house training), dogs do not
want to pee or poop inside the house they live in.

Remember now, this is a 12 week old puppy. It takes a few months till
his body can hold it for any length of time. Other than that, it's good
advice. Putting paper outside the door might help too since that is his
trigger at this point.


I would refrain from listening to too many of the so called
professional trainers on this newsgroup with your new dog. The only
person who has an approach coming close to proper training is Jerry
Howe.

I agree! He hasn't been around as much since the trolls stopped
controlling the dog groups.

You can find his training manual on the web, if memory serves
me correctly it is called "Wits End training method'?

Most importantly socialize your puppy as much as you can.

Again I agree!
