I'm confused..2xs a day? I don't think thats what you meant right? I don't think he is saving his pee for inside. Little dogs pee a lot, they have to learn to hold it longer. This is why I crate train my dogs. When I am at work my puppy is in his crate. He olds it from 8am until I come home for lunch at 1pm. He is slowly learning and training his bladder to hold it, just like a toddler must learn to hold it until he/she can get to a potty. At first they pee in their pants cuz they don't understand but eventually they learn. Same with pups (even some older dogs). It isn't realistic to expect a small toy breed to hold it like a Golden Retriever, but they can learn not to go every minute. When out on a walk my guy must lift his leg like 30 xs. 1/2 of the time nothing is even coming out anymore. When you take him out and he pees maybe stay out a bit longer and let him sniff around and see if he has to go more before you bring him in?

Kathy, how else am I suppose to say it?
We take him out two times a day... like how someone brushes their teeth two to three times a day? Please try and clarify what you're asking here because I'm not really getting it.
Anyway, once again I do say what I mean. When I say my dog really holds in his piss, I really think so, because he saves his piss for another area. My dog is not one to take his leisure when going potty, once he goes outside he's immediately marking his territory and sniffing for another place to mark. Once you think he's done going potty (nothing coming out anymore), we or I take him back in and sometimes he ends up going potty somewhere in the house...
As of late, it's not happening as much as I witnessed before but it's just something to take notice of.....
