We have started potty training our puppy and so far have had success on teaching him denning and not peeing in his crate. He is sleeping through the night (10pm to 7am). He also does not have any accidents on the couch however everywhere else is fair game.
We have tried to make sure that he always had supervision but he is so small it's hard to see if /when he starts peeing. It seems that if he is running around and stops for more than 2 seconds without sitting, he peed/pees.
Most seem to suggest removing the chance to make mistskes so for this reason he spends most of his time in his crate or on the couch, but obviously he has got that down pat. (One crate accident over a month ago, none on the couch). We have gotten as much as a week and a half without issue but he gets very little floor time (less than five minutes a day) and the second we try to give him even five more minutes we have an accident. How best do we make the jump to understanding not to pee on the floor? He can hold his bladder for 4hrs in crate or couch but not 10 minutes even being watched like a hawk on the floor so it's not a bladder control issue...
