This is my first time having to potty train a pup....and I think he was trying to impress us the first couple of days bc he was soo good! But now I guess I just have to be patient....

We were letting him sleep with us...well he would fall asleep, then I would move him to box next to the bed where he would sleep until 2-3 am, then start whining....I would bring him up on the bed with us and he would sleep the rest of the night cuddled wtih me...until 2 nights ago! He peed on the bed...TWICE. When I caught him, I put him right back in his box....didn't yell or anything, just said NO, so last night I tried crating him.....oddly enough, he went into the crate by himself......a called him back out and stood over his pee pads and kept saying..."go pee, go pee" (Thats what I say when I take him out) He peed right in the middle of the pee pad, so I gave him a treat and cooed and pet him.....not even 2 minutes later I followed him to our mudroom where he was going #2, I said NO, picked him up and put him on the pee pad (sorry this is long!!) He didn't go......so I waited and he still didn't go..... so I said, "go to bed, go to bed..."and pointed to his crate...he went in and I gave him a treat!! He slept peacefully until about 230am when I thouhg I heard him yelp...I went down, let him out.....he went pee, I put him back in his cage...thats when the crying started..and last for about a half hour...then he fell back asleep....at about 5 when my husband woke, he started crying and I got him out and let him up in bed with me (I do want him to be able to sleep with me...he is such a cuddlebug and I love it) and right away he peed on the bed.....so my H took him downstairs into his penned area with all the pee pads where we keep him during the day......

After my shower I brought him upstairs with me while I dressed and he started going poop, so I caught him, said no and put him on his Pee pad....he whined, ran off it, started going poo again..this happened a total of 3 times, then he peed on the area rug, so I took him downstairs and put him back in his pen. What can I be doing differently so he gets a consistent message that the pee pads are the only thing its okay to go pee and poo on? I am considering getting a large crate to have the bed AND pee pad in for the days and nights...he is only 10 wks!

Thanks! Again, sorry for the length!
