2) use a play pen that is large and have a corner with newspaper. However I understand that your puppy chew and play with the newspaper. You may want to try using a potty pan to 'clip' down the newspaper , thus making it difficult for the puppy to chew on it. (pls see attach photo of the potty pan and sample set up). Note: dogs sometimes choose to pee/poo on different surface materials eg some prefer absorbent material such as newspaper, floor mat while some prefer grass and some prefer floor surface . You got to first find out the surface material your puppy prefers.
Also note: Besides newspaper some people choose to use floor mats and wash it daily.You may also use wee wee pads (you can use the doggies ones or use those use for humans) or you may buy sintatic grass .
by the way , have you downloaded my free potty training e-map ?

Dear Cheng See,
Thanks for your advice. I try to place a floor mat above the news paper but i find out my puppy do not like to go to the floor mat, instead she like to pee and poo somewhere near it as I had put a divider in between. How? She like to pee and poo at the floor tiles. I think she should be ok ..right? But just that her coat will be dirty as the floor tiles do not absorb the pee.. :( Now im trying to download the e-map as you advice. hopefully it may be able to help..thanks again..
