thanks for the responses!

Erin, you may be correct! I was always under the impression that J Crew was ashamed that he had an accident. I never thought that maybe he knew what he did is going to cause me to scold him.

We used to give him treats when we told him to go out his door to potty. But I noticed that he would just go out his door and do nothing then rum back in to get his treat.

I think I will start giving him the treats anytime I know that he has went outside to potty. I have also noticed now that I think about it he seems to have to go when we get home even though he has had access to the door all day long. This maybe due to him wanting to get a treat from us after he goes

I also need to add that the grassy area he has access to all day long is fairly small. It is about 4'X15'. He also is pretty small around 5 lbs.

Any other info would be great!

Thanks!
