[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Buy an indoor playpen to limit the area of accidents. When you take the dog outside of the playpen carry him outside and set him on the grass to do his business. You might say "business". Never let him walk around your house on his own. He will associate the grass with doing his business. A trainer gave me this information and my puppy was trained within days after nothing had worked up until that point. [/quote]

For a small dog, like a chi, this is still too much space. The puppy will be able to make a "toilet" area in a pen. You need a crate that is just big enough for the pup to stand and turn around; most come with a wire separator/insert that allows you to section off a smaller area when the pup is little and then remove it when the dog is fully grown.

But yes to the part about giving a consistent verbal command and taking the dog to the same spot. Carrying is a good way to make sure there aren't any oopsies in the beginning, but you'll want to let them get themselves there once they've had a couple weeks to catch on. [/quote]
