So I am one of those modern women who work! I cannot be home all day like I would like to be… I have a 3 mo old shih tzu puppy and I am having a hard time figuring out how I want to potty train. Do I use the potty pads that I bought? Do I try and make him go outside? I would love for him to stop peeing all over his soft toys and every room in the house. But honestly, I am not home enough to make sure he pees every hour or so outside. I dont want to make him hold it until I get home, cause I am afraid that is cruel or that he wont be able to since he is still a baby. I guess I want to eliminate him going over someone elses house and peeing cause this is how he was trained at home. What do I do? He has his own room, and does well by himself, its just the peeing all on the carpet that is annoying. Its like he pees INCHES from the potty pad on purpose!

I have a 9 week old Pitbull mix pup. I’ve been working on potty training him for about 4 days now, and he’s been doing great. He pees and poops outside when I take him and he doesn’t dawdle, just does his business. HOWEVER, when we’re inside he tends to pee ALOT. Not enough pee like he NEEDS to pee, but more like he WANTS to pee. He hasn’t been neutered YET. I have heard dogs do this alot when they haven’t been fixed. Is this true? He is crate trained which has made everything so much easier, but with the way he pees inside he spends alot more time in it than he should. He never whines in his kennel, but I don’t want him to be in it ALL THE TIME. I have been trying pee pads but because he peed on the carpet b4 I got them he doesn’t realize he’s doing anything wrong. PLEASE HELP! I feel like Im not able to build a relationship with my dog! Also, how much interaction does a puppy need? I feel like Im not getting to play with him enough and am afraid it will affect him in the future. HELP

Everything seems to go fine, and every couple days he pees on the carpet, outside the litter when a few more steps and he’d be at the littler box. Any ideas?
