Hello, and congratulations on your puppy! To train your puppy to use pee pads, you'll need to remember that a 2 month old puppy should be able to hold their pee for about 2 hours (and a 3 month old, 3 hours, and so on), so you will need to bring him over to the pee pad every 2 hours since his last pee. Whenever he does go, give him tons of praise and healthy training treats such as freeze dried liver. If you are consistent with this routine, he should eventually learn that he is supposed to go potty on his pee pad. If he has a poop accident, you can place the poop on the pee pad to show him where it is supposed to go. For any pee accidents, clean it well with an enzymatic cleaner designed for pee stains in order to neutralize the odour and prevent him from wanting to pee there again. I hope this helps! Best of luck with your new pup!
