The other issue is the move itself. He needs time to adjust. You will need to be very consistant with him. You will have to go back to the begining with the potty training, until he learns how go potty at the new house. Can you gate him off in a small area...like the kitchen until he is doing better.

It also sounds like he is being territorial when he is out walking. He is letting everyone know...this is my space now. You need to show him that it is your space! What do you do when he barks at other dogs?

How did you introduce him to his new home? Did you give him free run all at once? How did you have things for him in the old house?


I agree. Belly bands aren't a potty training device. They just keep your home from being soiled. Keep using them to keep your frustration level down as you work on this problem.

Give him a smaller area to be in - gated or crated. This usually helps. Then keep him on a schedule all day. What does he do at night? Does he hold it?
