I am not new to puppy training (my 7th dog). I know all the basics. I'm home all day, yet things just get progressively worse. I've had my 15wk male pup for 5wks and things couldn't be worse! He urinates MORE frequently now, has lost all natural cleanliness and eats his poop! I could not have failed more completely.

I know he understands what I want. He even knows the words. Now that he will use the crate for potty, I don't know what to do! I've purchased the smallest crates they make, even had him in a dog purse to start as he was 20oz when I got him.

I realize I need to start over, but I can't do every 2hrs around the clock. Even when I did, he still managed to urinate in between if I let him play on the floor. If I keep him in my lap during play or hold him, he won't need to go for 4hrs or more. So he absolutely has normal bladder control. He PREFERS to urninate in our living area.

Even when I do every 2 hrs, he finds a way to urninate. When I crate him, he urninates. I am willing to put in the work, I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm up in the middle of the night writing you guys cuz I'm so upset, I can't sleep.
