I need some puppy advice  

All 4 of mine went through the same thing. It's a nervous thing and they aren't old enough to hold it in. The bladder muscles aren't easily controlled. Rest assured that he will outgrow it. Girls are worse and take a bit longer to get over it. Have patience and try not to scold if it's an accident such as- new people coming in the house, loud noises, vicious sounding neighborhood dogs barking, etc. Have fun with your new baby. They grow so fast.

Hi Melissaruth; At 10 weeks old he is just a baby yet. Most pups are not even half way to being house broken at such a young age.
I would give him another month, with lots of reassurance from you. Then I would call my Vet and ask the why's, and what to do's. You could be right about your neighborhood "meanie's'. (poor Baby ). But I would still give him another month, then make the call to your Vet.
Good Luck.

That could be it or maybe he encountered someone outside being mean to him. I had a dog like that once and unfortunately instead of it making him nervous he turned mean and we had to put him down. it was devestating to me to because he was my first dog and I loved him so much. Maybe you should start going out with him for a couple of times and see if you see anything suspicious or anything like that. my dog now, will start to pee if she thinks she's in trouble, but isn't bothered by going outside. I know that is her nervousness coming out, but it's not a continious problem. Maybe, if you see nothing out of the ordinary, you should take him to the vet to see if there is some kind of problem with him or something. Good luck and keep us posted. God bless

I also think it's just a phase and he's not old enough to physically be able to hold it. Not that many puppies are housebroken at that age, very few in fact.

But to make sure the nervousness doesn't stay, you do need to socialize him a lot. Take him everywhere with you, expose him to dogs, people, stores, different surfaces, strange objects, basically everything he will come across in his adult life. Since you've had him a month and he's only 10 weeks old, then you really got him too young (puppies shouldn't leave their mom and littermates before 8 weeks at the earliest) and he won't have learned bite inhibition and how to interact with dogs well enough, so he'll need extra socialization just because of that. The more positive experiences he has with different things, the less fearful he will be as an adult. That socialization window closes at 16 weeks so you got plenty of time to work through his fears. Definately do enroll him in a puppy class so he can play with other puppies.

He may smell the other dogs and may be afraid. He could be a submissive dog by nature and doesn't want to fight so he gets scared and pees inside.

Other than just being with him outside and telling him what a good dog he is while you're walking around, there's not much you can do unless the neighbors get rid or do something with their mean dogs.

At 10 weeks, he's still not completely developed. I'm sure with continued vigilance in the house training, he will develop stronger muscles. Have you tried an alternate door to go outside? Maybe a back door or front door? Out through the garage?

What breed of dog is it? Daschunds seem to have weak controll of their bladders until they are 1-2 years old, sometimes even beyond that. My mom had one that was three, and every time they came to see me, Dixie would jump on my lap happy to see me, and would lose controll of her bladder. (YUCK)... But on the other hand, my best friend has two, Shania is about 9 and she never EVER has problems. But Auggie is only 6 months, and he still has controll issues.

I have a blue heeler that has been house broken from 8 weeks. He just never went potty in the house. He is now over 10 months, and once in awhile if someone (a male) scares him, he will dribble a bit. It's just something I think he will outgrow. As will your little guy!

Some good advice given here. He sounds like he is so little yet. What a lovey! Perhaps he's a submissive dog. Does he roll over on it's back, then potty? Give Lots of Loving, and ignore it. Yes! He smells other dogs. No! No! He won't discern a 'mean' dog from any other! How smart of you to have him socialized with other dogs and with people! We got ours a kennel of her own right away. For most of the night, and for short increments of the day. Yes, she cried a little at first. But it is so very important that the dog learns that kennel is a good place. Treats help. Treats can be in the form of kibble; they don't know the difference! We always used a 'code' word that we said every time we took her outside to do her business. We use 'hurry up', but it could be 'pajamas' or 'clock'. To her, it is the word that means 'do your business'. Now that she is seven years old, we can travel anywhere, for any length of time, and when I stop and give her the word, she KNOWs what the word means, and will go. You've just got to use it every single time that you take him out. Don't discount how much a dog can learn! There will be no parting with her because we love her like a kid. We no longer run her in Hunt Tests and time trials, but she has something that amazes many dog owners: obedience.
