Take him out where you want him to go, then you pee first.  He should get the idea.

:yeah:  Also I always rubbed my dogs face in the pee or poop when they did it inside and took them right back out.  It only took a few times before they realized indoors was not the right place to let it out
USE A KENNAL they generally will try not to crap where they sleep unless they cant hold it any longer.  Thats where you come in you have to make sure you let em out in time, take them right outside :-)

krout81, this is not a personal attack on you but that is terrible advice.  If your pup pees or poops in the house you should have your own face rubbed into it, because it was YOUR fault.  If you can't focus your attention 100% of the time on the pup then it goes in the kennel.  You have to be consistent, feed it at the same time, take it out LOTS of times and always to the same spot and don't get in a hurry.  Anytime it eats, sleeps, drinks, plays, whatever, take it outside.  Seriously if you have to divert your attention away from the pup then put it back in it's kennel.  Pups have no clue why your rubbing their face in pee and poop, none what so ever.

Bit of a long article, but this is what I did.  This does 2 things for you, crate and potty training.  The biggest thing to me is consistency, keep doing the same thing over and pup will get the idea.

I had a very very very hard time with my bloodhound, i picked her up last spring when she was 8 weeks old. It took me a long long long time to get her potty trained. I crate trained her at the same time so that helped. I would take her outside about every hour or so at first. Always to the same spot. No play no talk no nothing until she would pee or poop. Once she would start her squat I would give her lots of praise and lots of "go pee". Then good girl and lots of praise. After awhile she picked up that when we went outside the first thing to do was potty, and that we weren't leaving this spot until she went. Pups have accidents, it's going to happen. I did read up a little on with holding water at certain times because pups just can't hold the pee that long. I forget the figure but it's something like for every month they are old they can hold their pee for an hour or something. idk good luck. It took me forever and I had many many sleepless nights standing outside saying potty potty potty please potty potty potty potty now blah blah blah. Good luck!

We train pups often and use the crate training procedure with much success.  Take them out immediately after they come out of the crate and after each feeding. Take them out frequently every 20-30 minutes when out of the crate. Crate them when not supervised.

Have new pups myself that I got for my son this Christmas.  There are several methods that I've run across over the years I've raised dogs, but have stuck to one that works for me and my dogs.  My pups are 54 days old.  I have news paper in the house, as that is what they had in the bed with their mama.  But I have found that observance is the key.  The male goes on the paper 95% of the time, the female about 70% but getting better.  If the weather is warm enough, we try to take them outside right after feeding, naps, and when they start looking.  Don't know if this will help, but hope so.  My two cents.

Good hunting,

I have a 8 week old Yellow Lab and she is almost housebroke. It takes a lot of patience. I take her out when she wakes up, before and after meals, then about every 30 min to an hour. It depends on how she is acting. I take her to the same spot and wait, and wait, and wait, when she goes I praise her and then we play a little. We play because she caught on real quick that after she went pee she could go back in the house. She started to fake going pee. She would squat and then want to go back in the house. After I started to play with her then she would go for real. The key is to make it a positive experience for your pup. It can be pretty stressful at midnight when you need to get up for work at 3 but you have to remember this is a puppy and they will learn.
