I just got a new pup (8 weeks old) on Sunday and although early, the house breaking is not going well. A few things concern me and I want to nip them in the bud ASAP if possible. For one, the dog very seldomly will go when we are outside. I will take her outside for 10 minutes and she won't go but as soon as we get back in the house, she will go on the floor almost immediately. When she pees in the house she will always pee on the newspaper but she won't poop on it. I would prefer that she just do it when we are outside and not on the newspaper or in the house. The few times that she has gone outside I have immediately given her tons of praise and a treat. It doesn't seem to be working. I take her out every 15-30 minutes.
Any advice? Anything I could do or not do to help myself out here. Please help.
