I have tried to paper train my puppy, but haven't been successful. Please, can you help?
Full Question:
I have a 15 week Chihuahua/Jack Russell. I have tried consistenly to paper train. I place him on the paper every time I catch him toileting over my floors. I love him and don't want to let him go but I have had 8 weeks of almost hell. Please, can you help? 
Cindy's Answer:
We have a section on the website about house training. I’d also recommend the video Your Puppy 8 weeks to 8 Months.
I’d read the article Ed wrote on The Groundwork to Becoming your Puppy’s Pack Leader.
I would guess you are giving the puppy too much freedom to make mistakes, we use a crate and an exercise pen during the housetraining process.
For future questions, you might benefit from learning to use our SEARCH function, which is located in the top left corner of every page of the website. If you type in your key words or question it will find you articles, Q&As, free streaming video and links to threads on our discussion forum. Our website has over 16,000 pages and it’s very likely you’ll find the information you are looking for. I hope this helps.
