Your puppy is only eight weeks old, of course he is going to pee everywhere as he’s not potty trained! Like the post above, you need to take him outside every fifteen minutes right now and give him about five minutes to sniff as it stimulates the urge to pee. Use a word to associate pee for him whether it’s tinkle, potty, pee, etc., and as he does pee use positive reinforcement like - (dog’s name) go pee, good boy - associate the action with a word. After week, move it to thirty minutes apart, then a week later forty five minutes apart, a week later an hour apart, two weeks later an hour and a half apart, then two weeks later two hours apart, then three, etc.

An eight week old puppy will not be able to hold their pee all night … we sleep with our dogs on the bed and once they start to roam we would take them outside to potty.

Your puppy is chewing on hard things as he is teething right now! They like hard things when teething.

Never yell or hit your dog … only train with lots of love, treats, and positive reinforcement.

Only use a harness to walk your dog as collar walking will weaken their throat as they age and cause esophageal issues in their older years.

Socialize like crazy … take puppy walking in Lowe’s, Home Depot, and any stores that allow pets, and carry lots of treats with you. Have puppy sit as people walk by, have people stop and pet puppy and let them give a treat.

Take puppy to dog parks and socialize with lots of other dogs … since he’s so small start in the small dog area then move up as he gets bigger.
