I am starting my Blog called Puppytale. One reason I love animals, two, I just got a new puppy, three, I am looking for other people that may have inovative ways of house training. I live in a high rise apartment so right now especially until I get his shots, I am limited to taking him outdoors to poop. So Paper training right now. But it is hit and miss (ha ha), literally. Any good suggestions on paper training out there?

I saw an excellent way on Animal Planets "It's me or the dog".
Use a large gated area in the house. Cover the entire floor with puppy pads.
Slowly start removing pads - about 1 a week to uncover floor.
The dog SHOULD start only using the pads and not the floor.
Eventually you should be down to 1 puppy pad.
For an apartment they highly recommend keeping a pad somewhere in the house because the dog does not have access to outside at will.
Putting down a puppy pad outside when you take the dog out will help with going outside.
Hope this helps

Sounds great thank you. Mind if I use your comments in my blog?

Cute pup. Dogs are a lot of fun, but can be a lot of work. Make sure the pup gets lots of exercise. Good luck!

Just make sure to let it out every few hours and it should learn that is where it goes and not the apt. I was really lucky and got an 8 week old german shepperd that was already potty trained. We have no idea how but he is close to a year old now and had never gone in the house. Also listen if it cries thats usually a good indicator.
