Oh girl, I can feel the desperation in your post nd I know exactly how you feel! We all do! Honestly, we've all been there and come out the other side. 3 months is veeeeeery young and no pup I've ever known has been close to being housebroken by that age. To expect a puppy of that age to know where to go to the toilet is just not realistic. It's a long old process and can feel so demoralising at times, but stick at it, it will be worth it in the end.

Watch Gucci like a hawk, when you see him circling and sniffing around (probably every hour or two at that age) take him outside pronto and then when he does go praise, praise, praise! When he has an accident inside (and he will, a lot) only tell him "NO!" in a strong, stern, deep voice if you catch him at it, never if you didn't see him cos he wont remember doing it and it will only confuse him.

The most important thing to remember is that Gucci is a dog and as a dog he will only ever want to please his 'alpha' (you), which means doing living by the house rules, such as doing his business outside. He only does it inside now because he doesn't understand where he's meant to do it, it's not done to annoy you, it's just that he doesn't understand.

Hope this helps a little. Dont give up hon, you're doing brilliantly, just keep it up!
