Thats atleast what made it click with Joel, I didn't LET him have an accident and he forgot how to "go" in the house lol.
But when he kept having accidents I was getting frustrated and wondering what I was doing wrong, so I would set alarms and leash him to me, or whatever I had to do for him not to go potty in the house, and after a few days of no accidents is when I saw him figuring it out, and then he would just start telling me.
Now he's 8months and I dont remember the last time he had an accident and I no longer even remind him to go out, only when he first comes out from the crate, all he knows is to go to the door and whine or bark.

That's the way to do it! Set them up for success and they can't fail.
