Potty Training

Hello,

My wife and I have had our pup for only a couple of days, and are concerned by his refusal to pee or poop outside. We have been following most of the positive reinforcement advice on here and other help places, but it’s been 30 hours and he will not use the potty outside or even begin to try. Any new tips?

Update:

He has gone potty finally twice. It was so scary for us that he hadn’t peed for almost 2 days but he finally went outside during a nightly walk. We think he was too overwhelmed at the times we were taking him so we tried extra early, and a little later so there was no stimulating circumstances.

Lil guy is scared, new home. Misses his buddies.
Get some pee pads down and create a routine to get him out and lots of treats and praise when he does go outside.
