How do you potty train a puppy?

Great question.  To potty train a puppy, you first need to be willing to spend several hours a day training him, teaching him how to use a potty, and rewarding him when he’s successfully potty trained.  It may take several weeks or months, and it’s better to start training as early as possible, when the puppy is still a young.  He will be much easier to train when he’s young, because he’s still young enough to listen and to be easily impressed.

What do yu use to reward a puppy?

You can use treats or a toy, and it’s a good idea to use different ones throughout the training process.   For example, if you start by using a treat, you might end by using a toy, and reward him with the toy after he successfully uses the potty.  That way he’ll get rewarded for being able to hold it for a few seconds, and then for several minutes, etc.  So it’s a good idea to use a treat, a toy, and then gradually fade out the treat and use only the toy.
