If you are working on housebreaking your puppy and he has made good progress with that, now is a good time to start toilet training him. If you want to avoid the nasty but necessary task of picking up after your pet in the street, it makes sense to train him to go before you leave home. This is not as difficult as it may seem but requires a fair amount of persistence in the early stages with chins.

If you have been successfully working at the housebreaking process, you will have a particular phrase that your puppy will associate with going to the toilet by the time he is old enough to go out.

You should also have a fairly regular routine and have some idea of when your puppy needs to go. Try to arrange so that you can go on a walk around this time. Go out to the yard as usual, repeating your chosen phrase until your puppy does what is required. Praise enthusiastically and then take him out for a walk. If he does not go to the toilet, take him back inside for a while and try again later.

If you take your dog out for a walk only after he has been to the toilet, he will eventually begin to realize that producing the required deposit results in a walk.
