The key to potty training any young puppy is repetition and patience. You should not expect miracles at this age and you should definitely expect accidents in the house. This is particularly true for small breed dogs like a Frenchie. If at all possible, I would try and take Bentley out at least every 90-120 minutes for potty break whenever you and he are awake together. If you do not intend on using puppy pads for the larger portion of his life, I would try and shy away from using these during his training. I would also take him out immediately after every meal and every time you see him at the water bowl. Anytime he goes outside, you should reward him with praise and treats profusely. Do not punish him for accidents as pups do not understand this kind of reaction. They will only interpret it as attention. Try not to lose your patience with him. If you stick with it and work hard, he'll be trained in a matter of time!
