First, dude, if you potty train your pup, you're my hero! I've only been able to house break them

Seriously though, some really sound advise throughout this thread. A couple of other things that have worked well for me:

• If your pup turns out to be a serious chewer, take an old washcloth, soak it in water, tie it in a knot and freeze it. Chewing on the ice cold rag may soothes his teeth/gums.
• When the dog does his duty outside like he's supposed to, praise the living heck out of him. I mean to the extent that if your neighbors hear you they may think you're nuts.
• If you can catch him in the act of having an accident in the house (stern NO)and you rush him outside and he actually finishes his business there, praise him 5X more than the prior example...I'm talking your neighbors call the asylum . Just a couple instances like this and he'll pick up on it really quick.

Good luck bro. Cute dog.
