Hello YT! I am new to the forum.

I have a new pup named Max, he is 11 weeks. I've had him for almost 2 weeks and this week I am trying to house break him. The first week I was at my parents home where there is a private yard--so we went outside to eliminate with no problems.

This week we are at my home--my yard is not fenced nor private and other neighbors have dogs, so we did not take him outside until after our vet visit 2 days ago (he's had a pad on the other side of his pen that he's been using with no problems).

Yesterday I made his pen small so he could no longer eliminate inside--he has no issues peeing outside, but he will not poo. After going outside several times yesterday with no results I let him inside, free, and he immediately ran under a table and poo'd with-in a minute.

Today is the same, we've been outside countless times and nothing on that end. I have not allowed him to roam inside unsupervised, so there have been no inside attempts either.

I know holding it in like this can not be healthy. Should I just let him out on the carpet, so he can go, just to get it out?

It's getting slightly frustrating.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
