Bandit is so so cute! Welcome to YT! The key to housebreaking is containment, consistency and watchcare! You have to contain your puppy in a certain restricted area of your home. Do not let him roam free. You have to consistently take him out on a regular basis. At 12 weeks, he probably has to go out every 30 - 45 minutes. As he matures and his bladder can go for longer periods you'll be able to go out less. If you're using a pee pad then place him on the pee pad at the same intervals. Bo is 6 months old and goes out every hour to hour and a half. He is able to hold it all night now. As for watchcare, never let him out of your sight unless he's crated or in a pen. When you're playing with him don't let him sneak behind the couch or under a table and pee. That's what they do. They try to find a private place. If you see him start to squat, scoop him up and take him to the pee pad or outside. Good luck.

Hello Teri and welcome to YT! Your little Bandit is darling and I love how you chose the name! The only thing I have to add about potty training...if you are outside training...always take him out the same door. Eventually, when he has to go, he'll head for that door and you'll know he needs to go out. Best wishes...have fun!
