There are some tips for training a puppy to potty on the puppy pad or dog grass pad:

1. Prepare an exercise pen/small room for Shiba Inu: Once we set up a puppy exercise pen or leave Shiba Inu in a single room, it will be time to cover the area with puppy pads.
2. Leave its food and water bowl on the contrary side with puppy pads, Shiba Inu is the kind of breed immaculate, and it won’t pee near the food.
3. Don’t forget to leave toys and put the puppy bed nears the bowls
4. If you stay at home, pay attention to your Shiba Inu; when it pees/poops on the puppy pad, give the puppy some treat; after several times, you can try to reduce the puppy pad area. Repeat award behaviors while on the pad and reduce the pad area until you leave only one pad for it.
5. After the potty train, your Shiba Inu might be pee on the floor sometimes; you can absorb the urine in front of the puppy’s face to let it understand the puppy pad’s function.
6. Don’t yell at your Shiba Inu if it pees on the floor; the puppy might misunderstand as pee is incorrect behavior.
7. Clean the floor immediately after your Shiba Inu peed on the floor because once the puppy smells the pees or poop on the floor, it will continue to pee in this area the next time.
