He never had an accident, he always went on his wee wee pad. that lasted for 2 weeks, then he started to climb out! So we bought a 36in tall pin, we he got out of that too. So we got rid of the pin. Now he only likes to pee in front of our TV. So we put his wee wee pad there. BUT he only goes next to the pad not on it! I have tried all the pads, the ones that smell like grass, the sprays to attract him and he still goes there. I even steam cleaned the carpets with stuff that is suposed to make him not want to go there but still not luck. HELP!!

I too have a shorkie who is three months old and when we see that he is going to miss we just pick him up and place him where he needs to go. The scent must still be there somehow because that is the way they know where they need to go.
Sorry for the following silly questions:
1.Are you praising him? The reason for this is because mine did that too and what we do is if he goes on the spot that he needs to we praise him and he really likes that. So much that he will potty and then come to the gate bark, like saying look I pottied where I should.
That might work. Just reinforce it with praises. All we do is say Good Boy.
2. is the pet pin like a kitty litter bin?
