Housetraining a puppy in the city can be more difficult because 1) city life can easily overload a naïve puppy’s superb senses, and 2) puppies are easily distracted.
If your puppy won’t urinate outside, try this: First thing in the morning fill a large bowl with warm water and stir in a little wet food. Let puppy drink as much as he wants, then take him for a very long walk. To ensure success for all parties, carry puppy to the preferred toileting area before beginning the walk.
I discovered this tip years after my own housetraining experience with a naïve puppy.
