He now has water out 24/7 but not while he was being potty trained.
I monitored the water and took him out within 10mins of drinking.
He was fully trained by 5 1/2 mos.

I agree, water up when not home, while being potty trained. It does set them up for failure. I was told this by a dog behavioralist, I practiced it and Millie is 100% housebroken.
