Repetition and routine are the 2 most important things to remember when dealing with potty training a new puppy. When they are young, like 6 weeks, they need to go out about every 2 hours, the longer you have him the more familiar you will get with the signs that he gives when he needs to go out. As he gets older he will be able to hold it longer and longer, there will be accidents at first. Don't punish him if you just find it afterwards, if you catch him in the act simply give a firm no and take him to the place where you would like him to relieve himself. When he goes in this place throw a little 'potty party,' filled with lots and lots of affection and celebration and even a treat.
Hope I Helped & hope he brings you lots of joy :)
