Intercepting the dog or puppy before you go to the bathroom inside the house is the best way to train it quickly. If you leave it to your own luck, it will take much longer to be trained. 3]
If you can't stay home all day to supervise your dog, you'll need someone else to come to your house to get the dog out several times during the day. Make sure that person knows you should take the dog to the designated place each time you take it out.
6. Keep the dog in a cage at night and when you're out. If you leave your dog or puppy free to wander the house at night, it is a fact that will end up soiling the floor. Keep it in a cozy cage at night and when you want to reduce the chances of it making a mess. Dogs don't like to mess up their lairs, so while you're in the cage, the dog will try to wait until he can go out in the street to relieve himself.

Don't let your dog suffer inside his cage for a long time without getting him out on the street. If you wait too long, he will have no choice but to do his needs inside the cage. Dogs also need time to play and do a lot of exercise, so you should never leave it in the cage for more than a few hours at a time or overnight.
7. Clean up the waste immediately. If your dog makes a mess in the house (and definitely will) clean immediately and uses a cleaning solution to eliminate the bad smell. If the dog sniffs past waste in a certain place, he will think that that place is appropriate for use as a bath.

When your dog uses his designated bathroom place, ring a bell or sound doorbell as part of his reward. The dog will be very anxious to hear the sound of the doorbell, which should only be used in that specific situation.

4. Keep your voice and your behavior light and friendly. Every time you take the dog to the bathroom or talk to him about it, keep your voice soft and pleasant.

5. Never punish the dog for having soiled the floor. Dogs don't respond well to punishments. That frightens them and instead of learning to behave well, they will learn to be afraid of you. Never yell at your dog, hit him or do any other kind of punishment that may cause your dog to feel scared.
