I would put him in a X-pen in the living room so he can see everyone.

When you give him water every 2 hours for only 15 seconds, take him out to HIS SPECIAL POTTY AREA immediately. Wait at least 15 minutes for him to do his business.

If he does NOT go potty, take him inside and put him in his crate and take him back outside in 15 minutes.

In his crate, he should just have enough room to turn around in and lie down. That's it for right now!

If he goes potty in the crate, see if you can make it smaller.

I most definitely would NOT give him the run of the house.

I personally would get started in a obedience class immediately.

How old is he???

When we first got Missy at 8 weeks old, she cried every night for about a month. We KEPT QUIET and never said a word to her while she was crying.

Now, she walks right in to her cage at night, lies down and goes to sleep. When I wake up in the morning, I get her out of the cage to go outside and then eat.

Missy is 6 1/2 months old and still doesn't have the run of the house! So far, no accidents inside in 3 months, nothing chewed on but toys and she's doing fine.
