Question
I have a 12 week white German Shepard and he is still not house trained.He also play in it and mess up his white coat.
Is there a good traing program out there?

Answer
Hi,

That is why black and tan GSD's are better....  just kidding. :-)

Sounds like you need to crate train the puppy, there is lots of material out there, books, articles and training websites.  Just remember he is a baby and so patience is a virtue.  Never scold him for doing it in the house.   You need to get him out more often and go out with him to make sure he goes.  So, get some books, or search the web for "crate training" or "housebreaking" and I am sure that you will have him trained in no time.

Have fun with your new puppy!
