Take a breathe.
I never said you had done anything wrong I was pointing out that if you react to the dogs mistake even by grr under your breath, your body tense and some dogs are just that sensitive and that is enough to cause them to sneak around.
I giving advice as it not what you deem right or what you need that is fine.
You said he hides his inside peeing that tells a professional trainer he is hiding cause he is scared so your job is to figure out of what.
Or not.
Your not going to get a quick fix unless you get to why he hides it and he learns it ok to pee even infront of you.
I had one that I got second hand that ran away and pee... it will now when ill toss its cookie and pee infront of me in the house and not run.. it gives me a clean that up would you..... I may grrr in my head but I breath through it and get it cleaned up and once well outside peeing and pooing continues.
Just like to add that with being as sensitive to this as you are he is too.
Dogs read us far better then we read them.
