My dog is 15 months old. He is STILL not potty training. I am at my wits end. Please if anyone has any resources please help. I literally cry every time he has an accident now because it’s so stressful.
I got him when he was 3 months old, and immediately started trying to potty train. That means I’ve been working with him for a year on this. I have another dog who I successfully potty trained within 4 months. Idk what is going on with my new boy.
On top of these steps I’ve tried, I always monitor his food, and have a set routine of out times. He ALWAYS gets treats and praise when peeing outside, and I don’t react at all when he goes inside.

- I took him out every hour on the hour for the first 2 months. He would come inside and pee after peeing outside at least once per day.
- After that I had him stay in his kennel. We’d go outside 5x a day. He’d get an hour outside of his kennel and then he’d be back in until the next “out time”. This helped, but he still had accidents nearly every day during his free hour.
- I hired a private dog trainer who told me to keep him leashed to me when I walk around the house. That was working but unfortunately now he’ll just piss right next to me while he’s leashed. (Even going out 5x a day)
- Anytime he gets free roam of the house now, like even for a few minutes, he will immediately pee. Whether I’m watching or not.
