I began by crate training as you recommended but everytime I would go to the crate he would be laying in a puddle of urine. I don't kow what to do. What should I do?

Hello. I have read many of the articles you have here and I understand you are a strong believer in crate training. I am a strong believer in whatever will work to solve my problem. I have a St. Bernard that is about 11 months old. No matter what I do he pees where he should not. I began by crate training as you recommended but this soon failed as everytime I would go to the crate he would be laying in a puddle of his urine. I would have to bath him everyday and it wouldn't stop. I moved to leaving him in the bathroom when I was away and he began going there as well. Finally I moved to letting him have the living room with the air conditioner on and he goes on the carpet. I don't kow what to do and the articles and videos you have are not really addressing this specifically but instead just keep saying crate train. I would love to do so but for some reason this dog will pee right where it sleeps and have no problem laying in it. What should I do? Thank you. Matt
