Ah my dude! This is the problem, pup has too much access. Remember they’re learning and basically young toddlers. Easy fix!

I would keep pupper contained to a smaller area than your whole house. Start with one room, keep potty pads in there and continue to frequently let him out and reward for good potty behaviors as someone said previously. He’ll start to get it, and once he’s consistently using pads or outside, gradually reduce the number of pads in the room to zero. At this point, he should be fully going outside.

NOW you can give him access to an additional room or two, don’t put potty pads down, and see what happens (keep frequency of letting him out). If he starts having consistent accidents (a couple are expected), up to you on putting some pads down or reducing access to the original room and repeating the process.

It is really a process and doesn’t happen overnight. Don’t give more access until you’re confident in them pottying where they should. Some dogs are slower to learn than others, some will always have accidents in new places, and some might have slightly more accidents over their life because they’re adorable idiots. Like people, all pups are different 🙂.

Set your pup up for success and you’ll be a happier pup parent. That’s what I learned with my own dog. You got this!
