You get a shallow plastic box no lid , fill it with say , pine pellets instead of cat litter dogs like to eat weird things . , or a bare puppy pad would work , and put some of your pup ' s poop in it for the smell . Some puppy attractanta pee pad under the pellets can help lure them in . And whenever your pup seems anxious to go you put them in the box . If the dog is houebroken already this can take a while and some desparation on the pup ' s part , but when she finally does it you throw a peepee party like no other . First thing in the morning , into the box . after meals , after play , etc . She ' ll catch on fast especially if there ' s treats and praise . It ' s like house training all over again except instead of putting your puppy in the yard you ' re putting your dog in the box . A box has some benefits over just a pad on the floor the dog will associate a good place to go with the box and not just the floor .
