For very small dogs .. less than 6 pounds ....?

how do you litter-box train them ? Have any of you done this .. or have tips for doing this ? .. I was thinking of starting with kitty litter .. in a cat box .. with the puppy pad over the kitty litter .. then cut down the size of the puppy pad until there was little or no need for the pad at all .. I don't know how well small paws adjust to the litter .. do dogs dislike clean litter that clumps ? ... Anything you know about this.. or sites you can recommend me to would be most appreciated. Thank you. :)

Update:

PS THIS IS TRAINING FOR A PUPPY . 8 WEEKS OLD. THANKS !

    Here's a great article--in fact, it's the best one I've ever read. It's detailed with pictures and it's obvious the author has lots of experience with litter-box training.

    i have heard that also. Eventually-puppy pads in little pieces-4 inch by 4 inch in the cat box. get the puppy used to puppy pads. move them closer to the box. then put the sqaures into it. I don't know why anyone would litter box train a dog though.

    I haven't had much luck with litter training mine, altho I did have one dog that took to it instantly. One thing, so not get the doggy litter. The pieces are too large and hurt their tiny feet. Not sure which kitty litter is best. Hope you get some good advice. What kind of dog do you have?
