I posted a thread earlier about how our 12-week old puppy constantly pees in his crate. He graduated from peeing to his crate to peeing (and sometimes pooping) inside the house! When will it end?!? When my wife and I are away at work during the week, he's place in his crate with an x-pen attached to it. We put a pee pad for his elimination use. My in-laws come by at noon to take the puppy outside to eliminate and play with him while my wife and I work the 9-6. Understandably, our puppy misses the pee pad at times, but he's been accurate 90% of the time. Not mad at all there because we place a matt underneath. Everytime my wife and I are home, we take him outside after every short nap or after he eats. Yesterday, after he ate, I took him outside to pee/poop, and he just peed outside. I took him back in and within 5 minutes, he ran into the bathroom, located a towel on the floor that we're temporarily using as a bath mat (since he pooped on our original one) and peed on it! I took him outside right away to show him that outside is where he pees and he just roamed around. This also happened the day before, but he unfortunately peed on our hardwood floor in a separate side of the house. What do you think is going on here? I'm trying to discover any signals/gestures he makes so I can take him outside before the duty is done, but I never see
any obvious actions from him. Once he stops dancing around, he pees!
Here's our schedule with our puppy:
11p - Everyone sleeps
3a - I wake up to take him outside to eliminate (5-10 minutes)
6a - I wake up to take him outside to eliminate (5-10 minutes)
6-6:45a - I play with him inside the house
7:30a - I take him outside to eliminate (5-10 minutes)
8a - My wife and I leave for work
Noon-1:30p - In-laws drop by to take the puppy to eliminate and play with him.
6:30p-7:30p - I arrive home, feed the puppy and play with him outside and inside the house
7:30p-8:00p - Dinner is being cooked
8p-8:30p - My wife and I eat dinner
8:30-11p - We play with the puppy, watch tv, and go outside for elimination if he takes a nap.
