But I DO try to make it sohe can't get to things and somehow he manages to do it and I don't know how he does it I still don't know how he got up on the bathroom countertop, he couldn't use the toliet to get up and I have NEVER seen him jump that high, ever. He use to use the couch to get to the kitchen table so I moved the table over and the problem went away and I have to push in the computer chair from him to stay off the desk he still hasn't discovered he can stand on the cart beside the desk yet(it's part of the desk). He really goes out of his way to get into things and I feel better that other people have had the same problems and I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope things get better. I dunno how he's going to do when darrall gets home. He defended me against him whenever he first met darrall(I had him for a month before darrall got home) and then he got to the point where when darrall would approach him sometimes he'd pee out of fear or out of excitement..but with me he doesnt' do it.

crate train him. He might not like it--but it is what is best.
You don't want it to be "okay" to poop in places that are not designated---otherwise, he'll never be potty trained.
Crating is the safest method..
I would not "tie" him to anything---he can choke
Crating seems mean, like they won't have "fun". But he'll learn. Dogs like to sleep in dens and soon he will love his crate too. Put a nice soft crate cushion, a blankey, some "safe" toys, a nylabone, water... he will be happier and soo will you.
And i've moved several times with my pups (not in the military though!) and there are always apartments available that allow small dogs.
