He just peed inside the house again! I haven't find any bones for Enzo yet, I just got him that antler from pet store. Whenever I leave the house, no matter how long, he just pees right away. Does Miya drinks a lot of water?  

Hey Charlotte,

No she doesn't drink a lot of water, drives me nuts, because she doesn't, and wished she did. Miya wasn't a hundred percent potty trained at 6 months, probably more like 8 or 9, where she could hold it say overnight. I'm sure you're taking him out before you leave, so he may be mad at you for leaving. Are you crating him at all? I can't remember if you crate trained him, that may be a solution, it will or should prevent him from going, and teach him to hold it, since he shouldn't want to go where he lays.

Is it in the same spot, if so you have to really clean it up good, so he can't smell it, so he doesn't think it's ok since he did it before. A couple of things to work on is praise, tell him good boy every time he goes outside, I still do it with Miya. You can reinforce the "good boy" with a small treat. If you catch him in the act take him out immediately to finish, you can give him the verbal cue of "that's Bad" or "No", I'm not a punisher, I don't believe in rubbing his nose in it, or spanking. You can try and use the verbal cue "mine". Example - "No Enzo that's mine".

I have used that example here on another thread. My husband goes to bed around 10 pm, he tells Miya it's bed time. She goes to her bed and lays down, her bed is on his side next to our bedroom door. I stay up later, and she likes sitting with me. She got up and he told her again it was bedtime. She didn't like that, but stayed. I kept hearing her moving, thinking she is giving herself a bath. It's a long bath, so I go over to investigate and she ate the door frame, from the floor up to about 2 to 3 feet up. My husband is sound asleep, so I can't yell, I'm pretty angry. I point to her mess and told her "NO Miya that's Mine", firmly and very quietly. She has never messed with it again. I use that for anything she may destroy including our cat and bed. So far so good.

He does seem like he has separation anxiety and he is acting out. However, he is still a baby, so you have to be firm and know mistakes are going to happen. There are many threads under training, about potty training to get more ideas, read them as well and see if others had similar problems.

They love to test you, but once they grow up they are so great and loving, you will forget about all of this, and you'll be so happy with a great companion. Keep me up to date on your progress, he's such a beautiful little boy.

By the way, how's the food situation going? Eating good, good poos, lol.....Good to hear from you, take care

Hahaha, I did crate trained him, but he doesn't really like his crate and he got used to walking and sleeping around the house. I just put him into his crate today before leaving, it's sad that I have to ignore his crying. By the time I got home, I take him out to potty right away and praised him. He's doing fine with his food and his poop is good too I guess it's because of the hot weather, he doesn't really want to finish everything.   Sometimes, he only eats half of the bowl. I just bought some stain remover, and trying to remove the stains and smell from the carpet, I hope it would work!

He peed in a several spot before when he was upset, but when he couldn't hold it and really needs to pee, he would go near the door and just pee or poop there. So I guess I have to take him out more often.   

Got a tip for you from another thread, not sure if you read any or all, lol. Anyway, she mentioned that pups go according to age, example 2 months old every 2 hours, 3 months every 3 hours and so on. By age 8 months 8 hours. Enzo isn't quite 7 months, so every 6 or 7 hours.

I don't know if that helps. Also with his crate, try putting a sheet over top, if you don't already, it may give him a safer feel. During the day Miya sticks her head under the couch, they like to den, maybe that will quiet him a little. The heat will slow them down on food, Miya will go one day a week where she may only eat a bone, as long as he eats something he's fine.

Take care,

I eventually took him to the vet and did a stool examination. Enzo did have bacteria in his stomach!!!   After all the medication, he's now soooooo much better!!! Now I am just wondering how much food I should feed him per day? He just turned 7 months and weight about 40 lbs, I am feeing him one full cup of kibble and mixed in the veterinary diets wet food given by the vet, twice a day.   

I believe he's at a good weight. Is your vet holistic? or did vet give you canned food? What brand? Just wondering, did vet suggest the amount of kibble along wet twice a day? If so then I think you're fine, depends really on the wet. You are not talking about raw? let me know. Glad you got his tummy problems fixed, it may affect his peeing problems.

Not raw, not raw. My vet did mentioned about three times a day with the canned food. It's purina which I don't really like. However, I have already slowly transform Enzo's food back to the normal kibble, taste of the wild because I think all of his bacteria are gone!!! His poo is looking very normal in the last two days! SO HAPPY FOR US!!!   We just got back from the grooming place, and he's so fluffy!!!   

Errr, purina. I hope at least it was the propac, or whatever they call it. Good glad to hear everything is going well. Any new pics to share? Once you're off the wet, look at bag they give amounts to feed.
