   stay out with him till he does something then praise him. if he potty's in the house scold in a stern voice or with paper and take him immediately outside. or u can train it to go puppy pads, never had much luck litter traing the darlins myself.

   bring him over to where his peed or pooed dont put his face in it but make sure he sees what he did them hit him on the butt with rolled up paper but not to hard also take him outside every hour or so and wait till he "does his buisness" when he goes out side Make a big deal say good boy or good girl and pet and rub him give him a treat and make them feel speacial when he goes inside show it to him and spank him not hard but not soft say bad boy and put him in his bed or watever you have for him use noises that helps AAALLLOOOTTTTT!!!!!!when he goes in make an long a sound "apple" like ah ah in a strong mean vioce he should go out side only if u dont have a dog door think of it as having to go bad and everybathroom is locked with no key.he has to be independent on you to let him out he might not have to go when hes out and when he does hes inside but those trickes will work i promise
