Its very hard to train a new puppy when you are working. Are you able to take a vacation for a weeka or two? Puppies pee and poo every hour or more. Is the area he is in large enough, so he can go and then stay out of it? Cover the floor or the pen with newspapers. Every day or two, take some of the newspapers out. If he keeps going on the papers and not the floor, then continue to take some papers out every couple days, until you have just one paper in there and he goes on that. When you are home, take him to the papers on the leash and tell him to pee on the papers. When he does, make a big deal and praise, praise, praise!!! Point to the pee or poo and say "Good pee pee" after he goes. Make sure you are feeding good quality food and DO NOT over feed! Stick to the amount recommended on the package. Feeding too much will cause diarrhea. Dont give too many extra treats, either. If you are using treats to train the dog, get something soft so you can break off the tiniest peice ever and use that for reward.
