Services
Decide on a schedule and stick to it.
In a family situation where many people are caring for your puppy, post a schedule for everyone to see.
Remember puppies will require more walks than adult dogs.
While you may need to walk twice in the morning when your dog is a puppy, you can probably eliminate one of those walks as an adult.
Potty breaks are also necessary after eating, naptime, and playtime.
Limiting the amount of time your puppy has to go without a bathroom break, limits chances of accidents.
