Take the puppy out on a flexi lead. In general, they don’t want to poop or pee right there in front of you. They’re still not sure if they will get in trouble. Find a central location where they go to the bathroom “usually” to create a habit.
Don’t respond to the puppy until he’s gone to the bathroom. Boredom is the name of the game. After the void, whether it’s urine or poop, give them a high value food treat and praise. If you stand out there for quite a while and nothing happens bring them in the house and put them in an incarcerated small space with no towel try again in an hour. NOT loose.
