Potty Training my puppies!!!!
I have 2 puppies, both around 3 months old that I am having the hardest time training them to go to the bathroom outside. I was reading on a website that some people litter train their puppies as well. I was wondering if anyone had tried that and been successful with it. Or some tips on how to get them to want to use it. Thank you.
Also, once I get them to use it, then do I break them out of it when they get older or do I continue to let them use it or what?..

First of all, it really depends on the puppies' breed. If they are a breed like Chihuahua, they do need to go out about every 20-30 mins. However, my dog, who we got as puppy, is an Australian Shepherd, much bigger. He went out every two hours, which eventually increased. The basic formula for large breed puppies is their age in months plus one. That number is roughly how long they can hold it, although it is usually good to take them out before that time. Hope I helped! :)

the best way to housebreak a puppy is just letting them out every 20-30 minutes. Yeah obviously its going to take a while, when they use the bathroom outside, praise them. Give em a treat or something. I wouldnt suggest a liter box it could get messy.

Hey, I have a german shepherd. When he was a puppy we just started bringing him outside to wear we wanted him to go every 30 minutes or so.
I stayed outside with him even if he didn't go.
Whenever he did go, I praised him. Gave him a dog biscuit.

3 months is still very very young, give them time it could take anywere between 6 months to 1 year to get the potty trained (it also depends on what kind of dog you have, some learn faster than others)
