I have a 2 month old puppy, she is mildly paper trained. I usually have her either in my room, or in the back yard. In my room i put some news papers on the floor, and she has peed there sometimes, mostly outside though. The thing with the newspapers is, she's starting to chew on them, and when she's playing and running she moves them out of place, so they won't serve their purpose anymore... I'm thinking of getting rid of them altogether. But i don't know how i'm suppposed to handle this if accidents happen in the house.
I have been praising her with treats everytime i see her peeing outside, but as soon as i tell her 'good girl' while she's peeing, she looks at me and appears to cut the pee short to come running to get her treat. Should i wait to praise until she's done? will she get that it's because she peed outside?
I've read some tips on this, but i need someone to explain this to me based on the info i give here... please, thanks!

HI, This is the number one question Dog Owners always ask me. How to Housebreak their dogs.
You have to understand the basics. What goes in must come out and you have to know when that is. You have to put your pet on a schedule.
Sit down and make a list of times your going to feed and water them. Make sure you give enough time for them to consumpe both.
An example would be when you get up in the morning take them out then bring them in and feed, water. leave it down for about 30 minutes. Then take them out agian. If their puppies your going to have to do this several times aday. But do this atleast 3 times aday and give a little water in between the feeding. That's right, you have to pick the water up too.
You don't have to leave water down all the time if their in a controlled eviroment like a house. Outside is different. But once the food and wtaer is down for 30 miutes, pick both up.
Write down the times your going to do this, plus the times you take them out. Stick with it. If they have anaccident in the house. DON"T yell at them, just writhe down the time and see if there's a trend of going that time of a several day period. If there is, adjust the schedule to make sure they go out at that time.
Some Dogs are very hard to housebreak, but with a schedule, atleast they will know when their going to be feed and taken out.
If your going out, crate them and then when you return just continue on with the schedule. If you have any other questions. Feel free to email me.
Best wishes

yes i have been told by my vet as soon as they have finished peeing where you want them to pee, to prise them and give them a treat. The vet also said sometimes you can just give lots of praise instead of a treat.
I have 2 chihuahuas. It took a lot of patience and lots of praise and treats. Good luck!
paper training is not a good thing we learned the hard way when we got our first 2 puppies... u have to bring it out side like every hour i no it seems like a lot but u will be happy in the long run.. trust me.. we have 4 inside dogs now all trained to go outside and its awesome..
I have trained 5 puppies in my lifetime..you need to get her on a schedule...after each meal within 10 mins or so...you must have her follow you to the same exit each time..and to the same area outside...let her do her business..then bring her in right away...she will learn that after eating she must go outside...upon waking from sleep do the same thing...as time goes by ...watch her after eating she should go to the exit on her own..let her out right away...you will see reactions from her when she feels she needs to go out...such as going in circles near the exit or looking at the exit..you can place paper near the exit but you want to eventually eliminate that all together or she will get lazy and just go on paper..it will take some patience but should work within a couple of weeks of doing these things..hope this helps..
