I am having problems potty training my new puppy, any tips?

Claire asked:


I am trying to train my puppy using a litter box with “puppy training pads” in it. I recognize his signs of having to go, sniffing, circling, squatting, etc., but when I bring him to the litter box with the pads, he gets very nervous and squirms and tries to jump out. It takes forever for him to **** in it. I am rewarding him, but I don’t think it is working. Any tips?
