I recently got my puppy and he is 9 weeks old. At first he would poop and pee outside, no accidents at all. Then this past Sunday it was rainy and nasty outside he would only pee and once we came in and when I wasn't looking he pooped. He has continued this problem the past 3 days, I am getting so frustrated with how to make him understand that it is wrong. I have read you take his poop to wear he eliminates in the yard so he will know. I did that this morning and he paid no mind to it. I do not want to use pee pads of any sort. How can I fix this problem?

I tied a Christmas bell by the front door, rang the bell and said "potty" and took my puppy Darla outside several times a day the first few days after I got her at 9 weeks old. I really praised her and immediately gave her a treat when she went potty. When we came back inside I rang the bell again. I would pick her up and ring the bell and take her outside when she had an accident, too, repeating the above practice.
She caught on very fast and had no more accidents after two days. She is 2 years old and hasn't had an accident since then and is still ringing the bell. However, sometimes she rings it just because she wants to go out to play now! Wish potty training my kids and grandkids was this easy!
