He usually holds it in when he's in his crate. He's only gone twice in his crate. When we were keeping him in a gated bathroom, he'd pee a handful of times on a pad throughout the day. Now that we have him crated, he will only go in his crate if he absolutely has to, but we know he does everything he can to hold it.

That's why we are confused, too. He can hold it all day and all night, but in the evening, he has to go out every hour or so, unless he's constantly distracted or entertained.

We are afraid he got into a pattern/routine with us and we don't knwo how to break it. We've tried letting him be free for an hour (while we're keeping an eye on him) and then leasing him for an hour and THEN taking him outside to pee, but that doesn't seem to work. If we aren't on him like a hawk, he'll find a nice potty place on the carpet. We hate to crate him in the evening, but it's hard to watch him 100% of the time he's out.
