This is what we were doing. I left the crate door off and put the pee pad next to his crate so that he would have to walk by it on the way to the entrance to the room. He peed everywhere besides the pee pad and didn't like being in the laundry room. He seems to like being closed in his crate and placed next to our bed.

I feel your pain. After a week of having him I was exhausted and wanted to give him back. I decided I was too enamored and would miss him too much, but he is still frustrating a lot of the time. I'm hoping he's just being a puppy and will grow out of a lot of the frustrations, and hopefully he'll potty train.

I do plan on taking him to a trainer when he finishes his shots, and the trainer I contacted said she would help in housebreaking as well. Maybe this is an option for you too?

We took him to PetSmart for pet training, and I asked the trainer about housebreaking. She didn't have anything new to offer other than what we were already doing.
