There are pros and cons to potty training for puppies using paper indoors. If you do not readily have access to the outdoors, you will need to consider paper training for your puppy. This can be successfully accomplished as demonstrated here.

This training process will need to take place in an area of your home where you don't mind placing papers for what will hopefully be a short training period. You will need to confine your puppy to an area around the paper either by placing the puppy in one room or through the use of baby or puppy gates. Be sure that you have puppy proofed the area for any objects that they could chew on or otherwise endanger themselves with.

Your puppy will get used to eliminating on the paper and will develop a favorite spot. As he does this, you will begin to remove papers that are furthest away from the area that they are eliminating in working towards the area closest to where he is eliminating. You will be training your puppy dog to target the paper by gradually moving the paper in the direction of where you want him to eliminate.

When you are at home with your puppy, ...
... take the dog to their papered area when it is time for them to eliminate such as when they have finished a meal or when they have had some water. How else do you know when it is time to take your puppy to the paper? Be sure to take your puppy to the paper when he wakes up, after playing and each time or a rule of thumb is approximately every 30 to 45 minutes.

As your puppy develops and improves bladder and bowel control, you will want to increase the area in which you puppy is allowed. Do this on a gradual basis. Make sure that you are with the puppy so as to prevent any accidents. Should you see that the puppy may need to eliminate, simply put them back in the papered area.

As with all other aspects of training, be sure to give your dog the highest praise when they have eliminated on the paper. Your puppy should be trained within a couple of weeks using this method. The disadvantage to this method versus taking the puppy outside is that it will probably take longer, it is more tedious placing the papers on the floor and removing the papers. The paper training method for puppies can be successfully mastered with patience and persistence just as other methods of Potty Training For Puppies.
