Answer 1

How old is the puppy? Puppies usually don't have good bladder control until 12 weeks or older. You need to start a good training method ASAP! Crate traing is the best way to do this. here is some great information on how to do this:

Answer 2

Sounds like a lack of training to us. Here's how we train puppies to go potty outside:

We actually suggest that dog owners NOT train their dogs to go on wee-wee pads or newspaper, because this trains the dog to eliminate inside your house instead of outside. The dog cannot distinguish between it being OK to pee on the pad, and not on any other paper or fabric on the floor...

To train a dog to go outside, you need to first put the dog on a feeding schedule. We suggest feeding the dog at the SAME TIME every day. This helps to "program" his bowels and bladder to regular feeding and elimination times.

Don't leave food out for the dog all day. If he eats all day, he'll poop all day. But keep plenty of fresh water available to him.

((Keep in mind that puppies don't have any conscious control of their bowels or bladder until they're about 16 weeks old. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't start training your puppy right away; it means that he may still have accidents in the house until he has better control of his body.))

Dogs usually have to potty about 10-15 minutes after they eat, when they first wake up in the morning, and when they wake up from a nap. Use these opportune times to take the pooch outside. As soon as he goes potty, praise him a lot for being a good dog.

Dogs will also walk in tight circles with their nose to the ground when they have to go to potty. Whenever you see this behavior ask the dog, "potty outside?" and take him out immediately. Again, as soon as he goes potty, praise him a lot for being a good dog.

If you're consistent and vigilant he should be house-trained in no time.

Answer 3

just keep trying to potty train him...teach him to go on smelly pads. you can buy them at petco, if he goes there, a scent comes up and he'll start going outside. praise him when he goes outside, and if you see him starting to go inside, pick him up and put him outside. then praise him...it should work. it did for me

Answer 4

Because he isn't trained properly.

Answer 6
