[QUOTE="donna723, post: 334067, member: 1883"] By "box training", do you mean a crate? A crate is a real life-saver and helps a lot with potty training but you don't want to keep him in it all the time. Just remember that when they are that little, you will have to take him outside probably once an hour until they get the idea, then when they go outside praise them to the hilt! And one that little is physically unable to hold it all night. You have to be very, very patient and remember that an 8 week old puppy is still an [I]infant[/I]! That's pretty young to already be on his second owner. Ideally, they should stay with their mom and littermates till at least 10 to 12 weeks. [/QUOTE]
