  The first thing that I would try is to get him neutered.  Also, have you thought about having him go outside to use the bathroom?  The great thing about having them go outside is that he can go to the bathroom anywhere he wants to.  If you keep the pee pad I have heard that you can take a 2 liter bottle and wrap it with a pee pad, then mark it with some of his pee, that way he can lift his leg to pee on it.  Hope this works out.   My pup is 7 months old has been lifting his leg since he was 10 weeks old, never in the house.  He goes outside to potty and has plenty of places to handle himself.  |
