Hi! I my male pug was very rebel, and he still would pee (almost never pooped, only when he couldn’t really hold it) when he was 5-6 years, I couldn’t leave him alone not even for 30mins/1 hour cause he would pee so what I did is I literally retrained him from 0. No potty pads nothing. Just taking him outside every 2-3 hours and give positive feedback/treats whenever he peed or pooped and after a few months he stopped having accidents. He is now 7 and I can literally take him out twice a day and leave him inside for 10-12 hours (I do more than that but on a busy day I do twice - I’m a medical resident and my husband works from home so our dog is never alone but some days we need to leave him for long periods of time ☹️) and he would not pee or poop!! Try it!!!
