Identify the potty area where the dog can pee and poop as needed. Before you bring your Newfypoo puppy home, find a potty area that the dog will use as a toilet. If it's the yard mark just one area since you don't want your whole yard to be full of poop.
Start potty training the pup as soon as you bring him or her home. Once the Newfypoo gets home start the potty training at that tender age, this will save you much trouble in the future as the dog progresses to adulthood. The Newfypoo puppy can start the training as early as 8 weeks.
Be watchful and pay attention to your dog's behavior to catch your pup right on time to take him or her to the potty area. When it is time to go potty, the Newfypoo will give you signs, such as sniffing around. Walk him to the potty area before he messes up inside the house. Your goal is to take the dog to the potty area when your pet is ready to use it.
Maintain a routine during potty training. You will notice that your puppy does his or her potty business at certain times of the day. Know the exact time your puppy needs to go poop by maintaining a schedule. Mostly the dog will need to use the bathroom 15 to 20 minutes after the following activities; Napping, taking a meal, drinking, playing sessions and before going to bed.
Shower praise every time your puppy does the business in the right place. After your Newfypoo has done the toilet business properly, praise him with words such as "Good dog!". This encouragement will go a long way in ensuring the training is successful. Your puppy will soon understand which behavior is being praised and rewarded and will try to replicate that behavior, which is what we want.

Avoid punishments. In case your dog poops in the house, avoid punishments as the dog will only get more confused thus slowing the potty training process. Promptly clean up the area thoroughly with an enzyme based cleaner to completely get rid of the smell of urine or feces from the floor. Leaving even a faint scent of urine will result in your dog using the area as his or her toilet in the future. Enzyme-based cleaners can help to completely remove any scents from the accident area.
Interrupt accidents: In case you catch your Newfypoo in the act of pooing, interrupt him softly but with words that get his attention such as No! pick him outside to the potty area to finish the business.
