Your puppy will be 80% toilet trained before they leave us. Some maybe 100% but we don't guarantee that. Pups bladder development is different for every pup.
Here initially we start using the Kmart grass mats and puppy pads from 2 weeks of age, then at 5-6 weeks when they are aware of their environment we replace these with The Real Grass Puppy Potty. This is a game changer, no more mess or smell in the whelping box and the pups learn that they need to do their business on rea grass! I just buy a roll of Turf from bunnings pop it in and it's done. https://www.realgrasspuppypotty.com.au/
When at home with you the trick is that every time pup eats take him or her straight to the pup grass or outside and wait. Do not allow them in until both wee and poo have made an appearance. Give lots or praise. Make sure they know how they got there. Encourage them to walk don't pick them up and carry them.
Giving pup free range of a new home is the biggest mistake people make. Give them one room that is closest to where you want them to go potty. Allow free access to that area. Once pup is successful at no mistakes open another room. Take pup out as soon as they wake from a sleep or as soon as they have had something to eat or a big drink. If crate training don't feed within 2 hours of bed and put a puppy pad at one end.
