I am about to collect my new Rottweiler puppy and was just after some advice on toilet training. I am not sure if i should paper train first or go straight into outdoor training, my only concern with outdoor training is i though pups cant go outside untill a later date

All help will be much apreciated

I dont intend to use a crate just a small utility room with a child gate, i really want to make this a success so just want any tip at all

Hi I've had my pup now for 9 days (he's just over 9 weeks) and he's doing great with toilet training. I take him out everytime he wakes up even if he's only had a twenty minute sleep. I also feed him outside (cos the weather has been great!) and he goes within 5 minutes of finishing his food. I'm using a crate - just for his bed- and I tried putting paper in one end and closed the door, well he just whined and whined cos he wouldn't use the paper. As soon as I let him out he went outside and happily went back in his crate. So now I don't close the door at all and just take him out straight away after waking. He does use paper at night (next to the crate) which is fine. I don't have paper down during the day at all. I've had 4 'accidental wees' in 9 days all of them my fault not being quick enough! But he hasn't pooped once in the house   for the last couple of days he's taken himself outside when he's woken which is amazing!!  

Good luck with your pup - they're smarter than we think!
