Why don't you try crate training him. Tiger just got back to doing it again only because I am training Annika so she won't go crazy thinking why she is in and he isn't

Depending on how often you feed, I already pretty much know when Tiger will go. He does not give me any signal when he wants to but as soon as I walk him, he will go so I do it twice a day.

Crate training is a wonderful way to help them control their bladder. I know a lot of people might think this is cruel but it really isn't. Lots of training books will tell you so. If you are consistent, he will eventually get into a routine that will be manageable by YOU not him. Remember, train him to make it convenient for you as this will carry on as he gets older.
