[quote=Anonymous]We've had him for almost a month and he's now about 12 weeks old. I don't feel like we're making any training progress...he pees in his crate multiple times per day, even though we take him out. Each time we take him out, he pees (poops about 2-3 times per day). We'll come back in, and he'll pee in his crate or on the floor within 45 minutes. We take him out very often and feed on a schedule - leave water out all day as I read dogs should have access to water all day. We watch when he drinks and take him out about 15 mins after, yet he still pees inside. We reward with lots of love and treats when he pottys outside. When he pottys inside, he gets a firm "no pee pee inside" and no treats. What are we doing wrong? I'm just starting to get frustrated because I'm getting tired of washing his bedding and washing him (he smells like pee when he pees in his crate) multiple times per day. I know he's still young and I know it'll take months to get this accomplished, but I just feel like we're moving backwards instead of forward. I've read online that 12 week puppies should be able to hold it for 2-4 hours, but I feel like our puppy just isn't even attempting to hold it - he just goes wherever and whenever. Any advice?[/quote]
