puppy potty training issue?

Sounds like you are doing a great job!

Remember just like with human children when they start playing they may need to pee, but can't hold it. Also, try rationing his water intake. Instead of having the water down 24-7 place it down once every hour then about 20 minutes later out you go. It helps to pick up the water about an hour before bed too.

Hang in there, he'll catch on.

Well love the only thing I am getting from what you have written is: Dogs do not empty their bladder with just one Pee or poo. They can go outside and in one potty time go 3 times. You need to keep him out longer and after a pee say "potty more" or "finish" eventually they will catch on. Usually a dog who is given a treat for going potty have their mind set on "hurry and go so I can get the treat". When they go the first time just state "good potty now finish" that way he knows you saw...yet expect more. My rule of thumb is do not bring a dog inside if they are still sniffing around...don't make too big of thing of going potty until you are sure they have gone enough. Your dog should be able to hold it for about 2 hours if he has not just ate/drank/or played hard. If the issue continues by all means see a vet. Good luck love.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aMFvQ

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

It's normal. You may want to get a gate to divide the rooms for now. They do not have a whole lot of bladder control until they are older. Keep doing what you are doing. Talk to your vet at the next round of shots, and look into obedience training too. They will be able to give you some tips.

I recommend trying to take your dog out more often or try to train him to get used to a doggy door (if you do this think ahead because mastiffs get BIG) but a 10 week old pup may have some bladder problems now because typically they drink a lot at that age and dont really control it well. I have a poodle which by nature is one of the easiest dogs to potty train but we trained her by putting her either in her cage or outside (by spending extended time out there she recognized thats where shes s'posed to go pee) when she peed in the house. I think youre doing right by him for now but maybe try to take him out at frequent regular intervals? My brother trained his bull dog puppy to ring a bell attatched to the door when she had to pee and it worked very well. While this dog is young try to train him to do that maybe, sounds will help in training, if he gets used to the bell, he will know it means "outside" where he can do his peepee. A fair warning though for the future, you may have more trouble later on when he is getting used to the rest of the house beyond the kitchen b/c he will have come to recognize that as his zone or territory. Its fine while theyre that small but when he moves to being around 2 1/2 ft tall you may have to try this process again b/c he may pee only in the rest of the house or outside. Just keep working at it.

If the crate is properly sized for the domestic dog it won't bypass interior it. For potty education you will be able to desire to place the canine in a harness and placed a leash on it...tie leash to end of your belt. each time the canine is interior the homestead and not crated you're in this setup so the 2nd you notice the canine start to sign (sniff/scratch/circle/squat) it has to bypass you run her outdoors and compliment, reward, use command be conscious continuously. a great form of the time while people have potty education matters this is because of fact they are letting the canine roam around and thewy're not observing it heavily.

Its difficult to expect a young dog or puppy to hold it's urine or movements for more than a few hours. After all, how would you feel if your were chained to your favorite recliner and not able to relieve yourself when the urge came. This provides an opportunity to familiarizing the puppy with going out and going to the bathroom, since one can let the dog out every hour or so.

Be sure to create "KEY Word" that the dog will recognize each time they are let outside. The obvious one that I use is "Outside!" everytime I let the puppy out. You will be amazed at how quickly they catch on to key words. My puppies grasped the outside keyword along with "upstairs" and "whose here". Each time I now excitedly yell "Outside!" the dogs come running.

Monitoring when the dog eats and how much it is drinking is also beneficial, since most dogs will have an urge to relieve themselves shortly after. Puppies will tend to eat and drink alot since their energy requirments are quite high, so visits outside should be often.

If he strains and dribbles frequently, it could be a UTI. The vet will fix it quick with antibiotics.

Walking him around more outside and after he peed once mayhelp too.
