1. I presume you live in an apartment.
2. Have a schedule for feeding and exercise.
3. Watch for signs of wanting to go to the toilet e.g. turning, sniffing the floor, circling, squatting, whining. Bring the puppy to the bathroom immediately.
4. Say "pee here". If he does a good deed, say "good boy/girl", praising a lot and give a treat.
5. Puppy should not be confined to the bathroom for more than 3 hours.
6. You can also bring the puppy downstairs or masterbathroom after waking up, after feeding and when you see signs of wanting to go to the toilet.

Let me know what you plan to do and how successfull you are. Thanks.
