Frequent potty breaks are necessary. Try to find a friend or neighbor that has a dog and trade sitting services. When you do take your pup outside reward immediately when he/she does her business. Same thing inside the house for the potty pads. Since your puppy goes when you are out of the room tether your puppy to you so every where you go they go. This way we can keep an eye on him/her and get them to the potty pad. The Reward.
