Hi Everyone,
My aunt has a 3.5 month old male golden retreiver named Seth. He is a very good boy except for one thing- housebreaking- and she doesn't know what to do.
She has had him for 2 months now and for the first 5 weeks he did very well with the housebreaking but for the past 2-3 weeks every time she brings him inside after taking him out to do his business, he comes in and pees on the floor. She is out there with him for more than just 5 mins, she is out there with him for atleast 20mins. He goes out regularly and is on a shedule. When he does come in and wet on the floor she tells him no and takes him right back outside. This isn't just happening once in a while it happens everytime. He has gone to the vet twice and nothing is wrong with him and he got a clean bill of health both times. The vet recommend putting him in his crate immeaditaley after coming in and then leave him there until he has to go potty, then take him out, and bring him back in and put him back in the crate. He is getting too big and heavy to be carrying in and out of the house. He does not potty in his crate. That is the only place he doesn't. His water intake is watched closely and he is praised when he does go outside. She doesn't want to have to crate him but right now she has too. Please if you have any advice. All suggestions welcome
Thanks!
