When you bring an eight-week-old dog home, you can start puppy house training by taking him out to go to the bathroom on a regular basis. Since young puppies have tiny bladders, you’ll have to take them out for potty breaks often.
Tips to potty train an 8 weeks old puppy:
Potty Training a puppy is hard, but training an 8-week-old puppy is even harder.
Of course, you need much more patience, hard work, consistency, and a spy eye.
but here are some tips to assist you with that.
Don’tStart too Early: Begin potty training during the 8th week, not before; it’s just useless. You will just waste your energy.
Use a Spy Eye: Please keep a close check on your puppy at all times and look for signs that she may need to go potty, such as circling, sniffing. Don’t leave that 8-weeks-old alone.
Beat Distractions: Because a puppy is easily distracted and an 8-weeks-old puppy can’t stay at one place for a few seconds, you’ll have to ensure that she completely empties her bladder when you take her to her potty area.
Make sure she has a good fifteen minutes outside (10 minutes for older puppies) to “let it all out.” She may need to go potty more than once when you take her outside.
Give another chance: Puppies don’t know how to empty the bladder in one go. So it’s a better idea to give them another chance. Otherwise, he may do it again after entering the home, and that’s what you don’t want him to do.
The bathroom location should be designated in the backyard: Take your puppy out the same door and to the exact spot every time she needs to pee or poop.
Congratulate her on her accomplishment: Attach a leash to your canine’s collar and place her on the ground. Walk her around the selected area while softly saying “go potty” (or whatever words you want to use for your puppy). After your puppy has gone potty, discreetly congratulate her on her accomplishment.
If your puppy has an accident in the house, properly clean it up with an enzymatic cleaner (Always use an enzymatic cleaner) before leaving the house.
Super constant supervision is the most effective method of quickly potty training your puppy.

“Can An 8 Weeks Old Puppy Be Potty Trained? Yes, but up to an extent only! At 8 weeks old, you can potty train the puppy to the extent of setting good habits only.

The actual training starts when he is around 12-16 weeks old.
