We just got a puppy a few days ago. And he doesn't seem to be catching onto the potty training idea at all.
We been taking him out every hour or so, and he doesn't seem to want to go potty outside. He has been peeing on our bed, couch, floor, just anywhere where he seems to need to go.

I was wondering if any of you have any ideas on what to do to help him understand to go outside.
He also has been sleeping alot. He is very playful when he is awake, but sleeping alot. He will play a while with my other dog, and us, then crash out for a while. But he is very playful when he is awake.
He also does eat. So he has an appetite.
Is it normal for him to sleep so much?!?!
Thanks and will choose best answer!
crate training is the best for pottying, having your puppy for just a few days i say give it time it will come
how old is your puppy, puppies are like babies they eat, poo and sleep thats the jist
Yes, puppies are very hyperactive while awake.
Yes, Puppies sleep alot, it's normal.
Ok, so here is the potty training part.
Dogs dont understand what pleases you, and where they are supposed to "go." When they are puppies, watch them ALL the time, keep them beside you. Even more helpful, is if you put a 6-10ft leash on them, and hook it to a belt loop, then you can keep them by you at all times, so they cant go and urinate where you dont see it. If you absolutly can't watch him, keep him in a crate. He will most likely not urinate in his crate, because dogs are clean animals, and will not "go" where they eat or sleep(most of the time) When you take the dog out, (I do mean TAKE) the dog out, use a leash, and a command. When he goes "pee" say, "go pee" as he is urinating. Then once he is done, give him a treat, and same for stools. Praise and reward him for a job well done. I have a 5 month old Pomeranian, who caught on rather quickly. Take him outside, every hour or two(like you are doing) until he is able to understand, and can hold his bladder longer.
Below is my overall speach on potty training, just take a look at it.

Below are House Training, and Crate Training Tips.
Crate Training
__________________
Try locking her in a kennel or crate, or "doggie safe area" for a few minutes, while you go do something. Make sure to do the "Crate Process every time she goes in her crate.
"Crate Process"
1. Put Dog in kennel, crate or "doggie safe area"
2. Give treats and a toy
3. Leave
4. When you come back, give her lots of praise, and treats. (Also, use the clicker if you are clicker training)
Leave her out, of her kennel "doggie safe area"or crate for an hour, then put her in for 30 minutes, Repeating the "Crate Process.(steps 1-3)" Then again, when you come back do step 4.
Repeat slowly extending the time, and make sure you leave time between kennel times, to spend with your puppy. Never expect your puppy to stay in his kennel longer than the age he is in months plus one. (example, if your puppy is 5 months old, only leave it in there for 6 hours. No dog/puppy should stay in it's kennel longer than 7-8 hours.
This is what i mean by "doggie safe area".
If you are going to be gone longer than a few hours, either have a dog sitter come to your house mid-day to walk him, or block off your bathroom, kitchen, hall, or other place with tile or wood floors for her to stay in while you are away. Leave food, water, toys, his kennel or crate, and puppy pads or newspapers(unless you want potty on the floor)
Let the puppy sleep in his/her crate at night, unless you want an adult large dog sleeping in your bed at night. Even if your dog whimpers in the crate, just ignore her/him until he stops. Do not remove the puppy from the crate when he whimpers, or he will learn that this is how to get out.
I Really Hope this helped.
House Training
_____________
First and foremost, do not make the dog smell his mess, strike him or lock him ouside. This will just confuse the pup, and it might be afraid of you.
I have just got a puppy recently. The way I trained him was crate training. Here's a few tips on crate training and house training:
1.Try to teach them that their crate is a good place. Reward them when you place them in the crate. This is teaching them, that a treat comes with good crate behavior. Always keep your dog in the crate, unless you can keep a good eye on him.
2. Another option, if you do not want to place your dog in the kennel all of the time, hook his leash to your belt loop, this way he can not go off and use the restroom somewhere, and you don't know about it.
3.Always take him outside after;(ON A LEASH)
+ rough play
+after he eats or drinks
+after being let out of his crate
+ after he wakes up after a night
+ or if he shows signs of having to use the restroom,(below are those signs)
*sniffing
*staring at you
*whining
4.Don't ever hit your dog, or rub his nose in his mess. This will just teach the dog to be afraid of you.
5.Don't feed him or give him to much water, before you plan to put him in his cage.
6.Don't expect your dog to hold it's restroom, more than the age of the dog in months, plus one. But no dog should have to hold it's bladder more than a 7-8 hours.
7.Be patient!! That is the key, to housetraining. Of course if you get too overwelmed, you can always buy a book, or ask a professional trainer!
8.Always, when he goes to the bathroom ouside, give lots of praise and treats!!
9. If you expect your puppy to go outside, and dont use puppy pads when he gets older, starting out with puppy pads, is not a good idea, because this trains them that it's ok to go inside, and then before they know it, they cant, it is to confusing for them.
10. Make sure to have a schedule.
11.When you go outside, stay outside until he uses the restroom.
Good Luck!
a yeah puppys sleep they are just like little babys its weird but yeah they should play with everythign they got and then crash!!
Sit the puppy by the door and start using a word like Potty, sit him and say something like gotta go Potty! and then let him out DO NOT bring him back inside until he has gone, when he goes praise him like crazy maybe even a little treat. Then like maybe less then an hour do it again sit him by the door and say the word you wanna use go out wait a while till he goes prasie treat and repeat!! TAKES some time dont give up!! DONT EVER YOU THE POTTY TRAINING MATS THAT GO IN THE HOUSE BAD BAD IDEA!!!
