Hi there!
Our boy GSD will be 13 weeks on Monday. He is fully crate trained. No accidents. But, he still potties in the house sometimes. It rarely happens as we're mostly on top of it.
When he has to poop you know, but when he has to pee there's never a sign. He doesn't whine, squat, or lift a leg. He simply stops and pees without any thought or warning. He has yet to tell us he has to potty unless he's in his crate.
Today, for instance, I took him out of his crate and we went outside. He had a drink and peed. We went inside to play for a bit and about 15 minutes later I took him out again to pee. He pooped, but didn't pee. I waited a few minutes and nothing, so we went back inside. He didn't drink any water either. About 10 minutes after we came back in to play, he stopped, peed, and carried on as if nothing happened. He was so oblivious to it and it happened so fast there wasn't time for correction.
Is it that he's young and these accidents will still occasionally happen for a bit? Any tips on getting him to recognize that the house is a no potty zone?
