Hi everyone,
My wife and I have not long got ourselves a beagle puppy. We've had him from 8 weeks and he is now almost 14 weeks old. Everything about him is great, walks are no troubles, feeding is no trouble although he gets excited! He is generally no trouble at all apart from potty training in the house.
Just this moment he went to pee in the house so I took him outside. He peed and I rewarded him with a treat, about a minute later the same again but no treat as I didn't have one to hand. I took him back into the house and he peed twice in the living room. This happens often and we are getting tired having to constantly mop up dispite him relieving outside moments before. The only way I can get him not to pee for any amount of time is to crate him. I know he can hold his bladder as he can stay crated for 2 hours with no problem at all.
Other than that he is a pleasure. I walk him off the lead and he goes no further that 20ft away from me (almost like I'm leading the hunt). When I stop he will come sit by my side.
Any suggestions?
