Puppy potty training please HELP!?


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

Best method for Puppy Potty training anyone?


I have 3 dogs. The first 2 are now about a yr old. My third is just about 3 months. He is just now learning to be inside. We kennel the dogs when we are not at home and take the puppy out every hour on the hour when he is lounging with us. However, he does have an accident now and then . I don’t want to have to re-potty train my 2 adolescent dogs b/c of him. I have rubbed his nose in it, made him scratch the door, took him outside, and then gave him a treat WHILE he peed outside. He is still bonding with us so I dont really like to spank him or rub his nose into the carpet. It seems to make him back away from me which is the last thing I want. IS there a better method? I have heard to try taking up the water bowl- which seems cruel, but as a pit bull..he DOES over-do the food and water. My pitties never seem to want to stop drinking or eating. Im at a loss.

Seventh old month puppy and potty training?


M yorkie, Abbie, is seven months old. We just got her. What’s the best method of potty training? Right now, we just take her out every so often and she always goes when we take her out. I know some dogs that will bark at the door or something to let their owners know they need to go out. How do you do that?
