Schedule

Dogs are creatures of habit and schedules are therefore, very important. You need to schedule when to feed, water, exercise and take your dog outdoors to eliminate. You will want to get your new friend housebroken very quickly and, without a schedule, housebreaking can be a very long and frustrating trip.
Take your dog outside when you think he might have to eliminate, rather than wait too long and run the risk of your puppy having an accident indoors. The more times your puppy eliminates outdoors where you want him to, the slimmer the chance for him to have an accident indoors. They really want to please you and you can show them how to do it.
Always accompany your puppy outdoors to be assured that your puppy has eliminated before bringing him indoors, and you can praise him.
Exercise is important for all dogs. Lack of exercise can cause dogs to exhibit destructive chewing behavior because they become bored or are trying to burn off excess energy. Taking your dog for a 30 minutes walk/day can help socialize him, give you both something to do together (bonding), and what a great way to exercise.
