Does dog litter work?

I have a new puppy and the newspaper thing is getting gross fast. Does dog litter work? Will the dog really use the litter, and will it smell?

dogs take a lot more time to train, just like a baby.........but it is well worth it.........don't try to take the easy way out, it'll come to bite you in the butt later on.........general rule of thumb, anything a puppy does, take him/her out ASAP..........EX. play, nap, drink water(within 5 mins), eat food(within the span of about 15 mins)..........and once the dog learns its not to go in the house, they'll wait............but you can't really get mad at a little puppy because sometimes accidents happen, the trick is to have a little talk after he/she does something wrong, u'd b surprised the dogs are very responsive to these types of things......

good luck.........happy holidays

try puppy training pads. they have some sort of scent in them that attracts the puppy to them. Once he gets used to peeing on that... put the pad outside and reward him when he pees on it outside. Then after a little while he'll get the idea and start going outside.

try adult pads/and some puppy go.add you can add carpet freshner on it.or try cat litter with room and carpet freshner.good luck
