What's the best toilet training advice please?

Hello everyone....
Today I've picked up my two French Bulldog puppy's.
They are both male 3months old..
I used with my previous dog the "Get Busy" saying it as soon as we are out in the garden, repeating until one of them has gone then I will praise the dog?

Does anyone have any other things I can try?

Also if they have had an accident in the house and I'm quick enough to catch them doing it do I quickly pick him up and take them out side and say get busy or do put him on the puppy training pad at the back door?

Thanks in advance

That sounds pretty good to me! That's what we do. We say "go potty"

Make sure you take them out to the same spot in the yard each time

Do you have them in a crate when you can't watch them closely?

We gave each "function" its own name. Number 1 is 'peepadeep' and number 2 is 'poopadoop'. I wanted to differentiate between the two because sometimes she'll pee right away and I want her to know she still has a specific job to do and "potty" just didn't seem specific enough. Every time she pees I say, "Good peepadeep!" And vice versa. Now, when she still needs to do her work I tell her to "Go poopadoop!" or "Go peepadeep!" and she totally does.

I think you are doing a great --- just remember schedule is the biggest key!

Welcome!! Definitely keep them on their schedule. They'll get it eventually.

Sounds fab!

I remember when I was having to let Dexter out at 3am every night for a pee when he was tiny, and thinking that it would never end.... I was utterly exhausted with it! But it's totally worth it. I know someone who hasn't done this, and their dog goes to the toilet anywhere and everywhere in their house now. The consistency and routine definitely pays off!

And we need pictures of the babies!! :yes:
