You have to help him by only putting him in the crate for a short period of time. One thing you might try to do is to take him to pee outside first give him time to wander and then bring him back inside and crate him for about 5 or 10 minutes. Each day do it for a longer time. Don't forget to praise your puppy and be patient. He will learn! Remember every dog may not be able to be crated. Good luck! He’s too little to be made to wait for that long of a time.

Well anyways if you form a strong bond with your dog, they will sometimes use the restroom when your away because of anxiety or fear of you abandoning them. A way you can stop this is with a training session where you put them in the room or crate walk out for a minute or two and come right back in; sooner or later they will pick up the fact that you won't abandon them. Hopefully this helps some. Well I’m definitely no an expert on dogs, but I was watching this show “It’s me or the dog” on animal planet and it’s a show about disobedient dogs and how to train them.

My herbalist has recommended corn silk to help incontinence. He will probably grow out of it. It's probably just a stage. He could have a bladder infection.

That way he has no chance. So lock it during the day, and maybe get a blanket for him to sleep on during the day instead. I suggest only allowing him to go into his crate at night.

Have him checked for that first. And while there, ask the vet what to do if it isn't an infection. It sounds like you are doing all the right things.

Second, his peeing maybe because he's excited or stressed. He may have no control over that at least not until he's a little older. See if you can tell when he's urinating. Is it when he sees you? Or is it when he's left alone and if so is he giving other indications of distress - constant crying or barking. I have a dog with severe separation anxiety that has the same problem.

If it's too large a dog will eliminate him/herself on one end and sleep on the other. Also more frequent trips outside may be in order, don't forget to praise when he goes outside...heck I still praise my adult house trained dogs when they go "potty" outside! Hope I helped, good luck!
