I am working at it. I just wish we could have more inside time without peeing and pooping inside. He is doing great going outside. Definitely progress made on that front. I Have decided to limit inside time to minimal minutes for a week each time he comes in. So hopefully he will forget about his earlier peeing inside. After a week I am going to try and increase his supervised inside time.
Staci,
If he is not supervised to the extent that your eyes are 100% ON him, he should be in his crate. His crate should be small enough that he will not want to pee in it. (big enough for him to stand up, turn around, and lie down....no bigger)
The word "supervised" is very important here. It does not mean you two are simply in the same room. It means that 100% of your focus is on the puppy. The moment his nose hits the ground, assume he has to pee, pick him up and take him outside.
Always immediately pick the dog up and take him outside after:
-he awakens
-he eats or drinks
-a play session
Housebreaking issues/accidents (aside from health-related problems like urinary tract infections) are 100% the responsibility of the human, NOT the puppy. Just remember that and it should ease your frustrations with the little guy.
Be honest with yourself about what "supervised" means and this will go much quicker.
