Now our only issue is that he rings his bells too frequently (but we dont have accidents)
When it comes to the pads, they have a similar texture and color to carpet so sometimes dogs can confuse them. Also you might want to try using some Nature's Miracle to clean the areas he's pottying on so that he doesn't get use to his smell being there. You can try cleaning an accident with a puppy pad and maybe he will associate that it's okay on the pad but if you see him going on the floor, interrupt him and move him to the pad. We had to do this with Teddy in the beginning, except instead of moving him to a pad we brought him outside.
Since he's doing it when you're not looking you might want to try attaching him to you when he's not crated that way you can get your eagle eye on  |
Completely agree. But yes, at 10 weeks, he is not going to be fully potty trained.
