I don't think anyone one was saying he could hold it longer? He going to pee doesn't matter. He need to be train to be in a certain spot.= pee pad. Moki will hold it for a long time. But if he has to go he will go on the pad. If you are not sure when you are at other ppl house use a belly band to prevent him from peeing in there house. IME they don't get good at potty train till at least two years. Moki is 14 mo but he will pee on command now. They will always pee and poop on a walk. Sometimes they save it for then
