Second, He is not peeing outside because he has no idea what he is supposed to be doing. He is not being naughty, it's just like a baby, he doesn't understand.

When I trained mine to Pee pads, I kept them confined to the kitchen, I would put the pads wherever they peed, they had several favorite spots. Whe the got so they were always using the pads, i started todf move the pads all toward one area, I moved them just a little bit each day, untill I was able to eliminate 1 and then another and finally all but one of them were gone.

They would still occasionally have mistakes but 90% of the time the went on the pads. As the got older, they got better.

The third thing is, dogs do not understand time out. If you catch him in the act of peeing on the floor, scold him instantly, if you didn't see him do it, don't bother scolding because he will have no idea why you are yelling. They do not understand the human language.

If you see him peeing on the pad praise him instantly, there again don't come along later and tell him he was a good dog for peeing on the pad, it has to be instantly.

Patience patience patience, and a ton of common sense. He wants to please you, you have to help him to succeed.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE I THINK MY BIG MISTAKE WAS THAT I WOULD LEAVE HIM AROUND THE HOUSE.
HE IS MY FIRST DOG AND I AM NEW TO THIS AND THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE, I NEEDED IT.
