Man o man, he sounds like our puppy Snowball. I tried crate training him and taking him outside first thing in the morning, putting potty pads near the back door, spraying areas where I wanted him to "go". Anyway, turns out that every night before we'd go to bed, we'd put him in his crate and when I'd get up at like 5am (we went to bed at 12midnight)if he didn't wake me up first by "grumbling" or yawning loudly, I'd take him out of his locked crate to the potty pads or outside. Well, he'd pee and poop everywhere. One night when he turned 7 months we decided to let him sleep outside his crate on his pillow or his little round bed or in the crate but unlocked and with the door open, and suddenly he was going on the potty pads! We'd praise him each time by saying "Good Potty Boy!" He was showing us attitude, that he hated being locked up. Then one day he regressed while we were outside in the front yard doing yard work and I heard him start to whine and cry for us, but I ignored him for like 30 minutes (I normally run inside and comfort him but this particular morning we were running late) well, when we walked in, he "went" number 2 omg on the living room carpet, grrrr. Well, I read and the obedience trainer told me, ignore the bad, reward the good, so I put up the plank that serves as a wall there that my husband built for us and he bought himself restriction, although he is back to pottying where he's supposed to. Good luck with your puppy, just be persistant where you want him to "go".

I have no idea of what you wrote but I think you need to toilet train your dog, right? He's still a pup so don't get discouraged yet.
1) Feed him 2 times a day only. Morning and evening. Maybe 1 small snack like Snasuage or Milk Bone. If he doean't eat the food after about 20 to 30 minutes pick it up and make him wait until the next feeding. It will not hurt him.
2) Immediately after feeding, take him for a walk! I don't care if you don't care to take him outside, he's an animal! He needs fresh air and some exercise to stimulate his bowels. Walk him until he poops.
3) Keep an area covered with plastic sheeting and newspaper. Several square feet is enough, about the size of 2 or 3 newspsper sheets. When your puppy poops, move the poop to the newspsper and show him the area. Tell him "Good Boy" and let him know that this is the spot.
4) Remove the oder from all other accidents. These are markers saying "Poop right here!" Den animals will keep to a certain area for their toilet duties in the wild. They will do the same in your house.
5) Clean, fresh water ALWAYS. He will pee where he poops when he learns the correct spot.
6) Only bathe him once a month. Too many baths will hurt his skin and coat. You will wash away his natural oils and leave him open to infection from minor injuries.
7) Don't make him or even allow him to lay in his urine. Does that sound refreshing to you?
8) He is not crate trained unless he does all his business in the crate so don't fool yourself.

Be patient and good luck.

Ok, you said it yourself, you do not want to take him outside. You also said you crate trained him. What does that mean? He is only 13 weeks old, still a baby. He should not be left in the crate for more than maybe a couple of hours at a time. When that time is up, you need to get him outside to potty. Here's why. Your home/apartment is BIG to him. Puppies/dog (all of them) will potty anywhere in this BIG area. However, if left in a crate/kennel only big enough for him to stand up and turn around, then he will not go potty in there. The reason for this is, dogs will not go the bathroom where they sleep. If you are going to insist on trying to train him to use a (bin?) or other means for him to potty, then you should see to it that it is in a quiet place for him, and everytime you play with him, let him eat, or he just gets up from a nap, get him over to where he is suppose to go potty. I'm not sure how this is going to work for you. Also, be sure you are taking him out everyday and walking him. He's young and so maybe a 15-20 min walk will be good enough for him, but when he gets a little older kick it up to 30 minutes a day. You must get him outside and walking or playing with him. This will keep him happy, and you from pulling your hair out because he is chewing up your favorite shoes, furniture, etc. If your dog is doing these types of activities, it is not because he's teething, it is because he is bored, and this is how they relieve their boredom. Good luck. Also, be consistent in everything you do, and teach your pup. Be sure to also get him out and socialize him. This is also important, again size of dog does not matter.

He could have a bladder problem. Take him to a vet. He is probably feels guilty about it. Also maybe a bin doesnt smell good. Do you use a litter box for dogs or just a bin? But yea its probably a bladder problem and you may need doggie diapers for a bit.

if crate trained then he wont lie in his pee but pee and run lol. so it probably is a bladder problem.

13 weeks is still a litte young. His bladder is still weak.

House training
As with most things in life, there are hard ways and there are easy ways to get things done. Rubbing a puppy's nose in a mess is an inappropriate way to house train. Using ample amounts of supervision and positive reinforcement is the easy way.

Starting Off On the Right Track

The first course of action in house training is to promote the desired behaviour. You need to:

Designate an appropriate elimination area outdoors
Frequently guide your dog there to do his business
Heartily praise him when he goes
By occasionally giving a food reward immediately after your dog finishes, you can encourage him to eliminate in the desired area. The odour left from Pruevious visits to that area will quickly mark it as the place for the pup to do his business.

Timing Is Important!

A six- to eight-week old puppy should be taken outdoors every one to three hours. Older puppies can generally wait longer between outings. Most puppies should be taken out:

After waking in the morning
After naps
After meals
After playing or training
After being left alone
Immediately before being put to bed
Eliminating On Command

To avoid spending a lot of time waiting for your puppy to get the job done, you may want to teach him to eliminate on command. Each time he is in the act of eliminating, simply repeat a unique command, such as "hurry up" or "potty", in an upbeat tone of voice. After a few weeks of training, you will notice that when you say the command your puppy will begin pre-elimination sniffing, circling, and then eliminate shortly after you give the command. Be sure to praise him for his accomplishments.

Feeding Schedules

Most puppies will eliminate within an hour after eating. Once you take control of your puppy's feeding schedule, you will have some control over when he needs to eliminate.

Schedule your puppy's dinner times so that you will be available to let him out after eating.
Avoid giving your puppy a large meal just prior to confining him or he may have to eliminate when you are not around to take him out. Schedule feeding two to three times daily on a consistent schedule.
Have food available for only 30 to 40 minutes, then remove it.
The last feeding of the day should be completed several hours before he is confined for the night. By controlling the feeding schedule, exercise sessions, confinement periods, and trips outdoors to the elimination area, your puppy will quickly develop a reliable schedule for eliminating.
Expect Some Mistakes

Left on his own, the untrained puppy is very likely to make a mistake. Close supervision is a very important part of training. Do not consider your puppy house trained until he has gone at least four consecutive weeks without eliminating in the house. For older dogs, this period should be even longer. Until then:

Your puppy should constantly be within eyesight
Baby gates can be helpful to control movement throughout the house and to aid supervision
Keep them in the crate when unsupervised.
When you are away from home, sleeping, or if you are just too busy to closely monitor your pet's activities, confine him to a small, safe area in the home.

Nervous Wetting

If your puppy squats and urinates when he greets you, he may have a problem called submissive urination. Dogs and puppies that urinate during greetings are very sensitive and should never be scolded when they do this, since punishment inevitably makes the problem worse.

Most young puppies will grow out of this behaviour if you are calm, quiet, and avoid reaching toward the head during greetings. Another helpful approach is to calmly ask your dog to sit for a very tasty treat each time someone greets him.

Direct Him Away from Problem Areas

Urine and fecal odour should be thoroughly removed to keep your dog from returning to areas of the home where he made a mess.

Be sure to use a good commercial product manufactured specifically to clean up doggy odours. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for usage.
If a carpeted area has been soaked with urine, be sure to saturate it with the clean up product and not merely spray the surface.
Rooms in the home where your dog has had frequent mistakes should be closed off for several months. He should only be allowed to enter when accompanied by a family member.
Don't Make Things Worse

It is a rare dog or puppy that can be house trained without making an occasional mess, so you need to be ready to handle the inevitable problems.

Do not rely on harsh punishment to correct mistakes. This approach usually does not work, and may actually delay training.
An appropriate correction consists of simply providing a moderate, startling distraction. You should only do this when you see your dog in the act of eliminating in the wrong place.
A sharp noise, such as a loud "No" or a quick stomp on the floor, is all that is usually needed to stop the behaviour. Just do not be too loud or your pet may learn to avoid eliminating in front of you, even outdoors.
Practise Patience

Do not continue to scold or correct your dog after he has stopped soiling. When he stops, quickly take him outdoors so that he will finish in the appropriate area and be praised.
Never rub your dog's nose in a mess. There is absolutely no way this will help training, and may actually make him afraid of you.

Success!

The basic principles of house training are pretty simple, but a fair amount of patience is required. The most challenging part is always keeping an eye on your active dog or puppy. If you maintain control, take your dog outdoors frequently, and consistently praise the desirable behaviour, soon you should have a house trained canine companion.

Maybe he has a bladder problem or an under-developed bladder. Might take him to the vet if the problem persists.
