take the time to train them to go potty outside. they cannot teach themselves. mine are both house trained and have been sense about 7/8 months they take longer they are a small breed and cannot hold it as long, mine sleep through the night and can hold it to go in the morning. you could use bellybands and diapers to minimize accidents inside but they can't help it if they aren't crated or put up for hours on end dogs need human interaction training and socilazition or they just don't know how to behave it's that simple.you get back what you put into your pets if you do not have time for them then find them new homes.something needs to be done soon it's harder to train them as they get older because they will be set in their ways. it can be done but will take more time & effort.
