Syrian, I think u r rushing a bit loh.....U got ur MS just.....not enuf 1 week rite?? u expect ur MS to learn to do so many things ah?? cannot lah.......
If u dun wan ur MS to dirty ur floor, i suggest u get a cage. Like wat Digitral said, u should cage trained ur MS b4 its too late leh....
Normally they won poo and pee in the cage. But although they did (coz puppy cannot tahan too long), the pee and poo will still go down to the tray, wont dirty ur MS and floor also.
When u wanna go out, put ur MS in the cage. Let him bark, let him whine, just ignore him. slowly he will stop lah.
When u r back, open door, lure him or bring him to a spot where u wan him to do his business, then on the spot wipe his bump, give a treat.
U can let him roam free when u're home coz u can monitor him mah. If he done something wrong, then only can catch him red-handed.
I think MS is easier to train than a shih tzu, coz shih tzu is quite stubborn. But u need a little patience loh..... My shih tzu now knows where to pee and poo liao, although sometimes still got pee accident(pee on the mat), but bcoz i'm home that time, so can scold her on the spot, then cage her/ignore her for like one hour. Soon she'll know that peeing on other places is wrong.
that's the point . Syrian , joanalooidog is right too. well actually to me ur Hepy is very very smart edi. Hepy just use 2 days then know the tray is to do bussiness. well is better get a cage or a play pen to train it.well i do have a cage to my Lui Lui wan , so when i bck from work or my gf back from Campus only let my furkid out from cage and open toilet door. so my lui lui been train to not pee/poo at cage . unless i went out more than 8 hours, then of cuz every furkid cannot control it bladder and pee oso , but if poo poo , my furkid will wait till me back then only poo at toilet. hmm choose either one to train ur Hepy , i bet ur Hepy will be more easier to understand it. because Hepy now the problem is if u let ur hepy free then it will poo at back door , this situation do happen when i let my furkid free at room last time . well , although now is now more is bcuz before i go out , i have to make sure my furkid is already pee/poo at toilet.but then i feel if u feel is pity if ur Hepy stay at cage , then u can make a playpen , i bet Hepy bite the newspaper bcuz it tot it is a toy to him.

how do u solve that problem ?? Jz now i leashed him back again when I go to campus coz I don't want him to pee poo on the floor. I kept stepping on his poops coz it's almost the same colour as my floor

. How do u teach lui lui NOT to pee poo on floor?? Coz I couldn't catch him red-handed. He did it when I'm away. Then jz now i leashed him lor - he played with the newspapers - my whole floor so sticky with his urine

. How to solve this problem too?
1. If i leashed him, he will play with newspapers.
2. If I didn't leash him, he will simply pee poo.
Last tiem with my shih tzu, I put in playpen one ma .. He also played with newspapers when I'm not around. So, I dun think playpen will solve the problem. But I dun want to get a cage either. If he poo in the cage, later he step on it, worse (i think).
well , i think different owner got different method wan .well , last time my lui lui did poo at the backdoor when i wanted to go downstair and let it free roam at roam , is bcuz tat time although i got let my furkid pee/poo at toilet but then i didnt give treat , so now everytime my furkid poo at toilet my furkid will use her eye and action to show that she want the treats. so i did use treats as a reward.so that's why maybe my furkid now understand if she either poo at floor or cage , it will not get treat either.
if u wanted to leash , make the leash more longer?i mean use 2 leash and tie it up. and make it more space to it to walk ? but not to near the back door.but the problem is ur Hepy will still use newspaper as a chewing toys and bite into pieces too.but of cuz teaching not to bite the newspaper have to see when Hepy got the intention to bite the newspaper then u just firmly say '' NO '' . He will stop when you done teaching Hepy that this is bad bad habit, otherwise he will really do this for the rest of his life.but to me Hepy is very young 2 month old , and is a fast learner edi,anyway do GIVE him with chewing toys and when Hepy play with chewing toys just praise him when he is using them. Say firmly NO when he is biting anything else.Just my 2 cents anyway.To me , dogs of cuz not reli understand what we trying to talk to them , but they do understand our body language and expression and either tone of voice.From now on , u have show you are the owner aka leader edi , when it bite the newspaper take it away in front of him .is to show that thing is not surposed to bite .hmm training maybe is a bit boring like what to say '' Repeat and repeat '' until they totally understand what u need them to be.so that's mean patience is reli important , time prove it,give ur Hepy some time and allow it know what is have to do and what is Don't .
