I would also keep him leashed to me inside when not in the crate.
Also I would not let him play outside. Outside for now should strictly be for going potty. Otherwise he will play and not do his business. Take him out on the leash and tell him to potty. Of course lots of praise when he goes and back in with no speaking or playing if he doesn't.
This sounds like work (which it is) but should pay off with time and consistency.
Good luck! |
