The pup will therefore take little time in adapting so it’s unreasonable to expect from it to be responsive to the owner’s changing mood and has to be dealt in a consistent temperament. Some activities that look good when it’s a pup like tug and biting your dresses may be fun but be alert to avoid acts like these that can become a problem when the hound is adult.

Pups should be watched carefully so that they can be put in a place where you intend it to relive itself so that they get accustomed. After every meals, a considerable time of playing, when you see the pups going round etc. Look for these subtle symptoms and act accordingly. Don’t get frustrated with accidents, they are bound to happen. Pups might not relive them as soon as you put them there it might take a while wait with your pups and reward him once he is done. This will encourage it in anticipation of a reward for a job done to your satisfaction.
