I'm so frustrated?

[Anonymous]

My puppy was doing so good by going outside yesterday. Only had a few accidents in the house. He's 3 months
I was in and out of the house with him today got 20 mins 2 separate times. It was cold out and I didn't want to stand out there forever. He kept jumping up on me not going to the bathroom then immediately I put him in his pen and he pees and poops, twice.

I feel so dumb, he was doing so good! I was praising him with treats. I'm just so frustrated and I know it's not his fault. He's still a puppy. He's been urinating outside but been pooping inside so that's another thing that's upsetting..
he was outside in and out for an hour and i let him in his pen and he immediately pees again. :( I hope he gets it eventually. .
I brought him Inside again and put him in his crate and he peed and he was outside I brought him in and peed in his pen.
He did go out ONCE today. And I gave him a reward. I've had him a month, does this get easier? :(
I'm such a failure. He poops and pees in the house. It's not his fault its mine. But I'm so dumb. I should've had some success. He's 3 months, he should know enough now. :( I don't want the house to smell like dog pee and poop.

I don't know nothing is working. I took a mat he's been peeing on outside and it's been 30 minutes. He still hasn't gone, but as soon as I put him in his pen, he goes. We just started going out in the yard today. I have his mat out there still that has his scent on it.

I broke down crying.. I know it's ridiculous. But it's pretty frustrating, he's a good dog.. is anyone else dealing or dealt with this?

I watched so many YouTube videos, and everything. I tried the leash, he just chews at the leash or gets distracted by leaves.

To potty train your puppy, establish a routine.

Puppies do best on a regular schedule. The schedule teaches them that there are times to eat, times to play and times to do their business. Typically, a puppy can control their bladder one hour for every month of age. So if your puppy is 2 months old, they can hold it for about two hours. Don't go longer than this between bathroom breaks or they’re likely to have an accident.

Take your puppy outside frequently—at least every two hours—and immediately after they wake up, during and after playing, and after eating or drinking.

Pick a bathroom spot outside, and always take your puppy (on a leash) to that spot. While your puppy is relieving themselves, use a specific word or phrase that you can eventually use before they go to remind them what to do. Take them out for a longer walk or some playtime only after they have eliminated.

Reward your puppy every time they eliminate outdoors. Praise or give treats—but remember to do so immediately after they’ve finished, not after they come back inside. This step is vital, because rewarding your dog for going outdoors is the only way to teach what's expected of them. Before rewarding, be sure they’re finished. Puppies are easily distracted and if you praise too soon, they may forget to finish until they’re back in the house.

Put your puppy on a regular feeding schedule. What goes into a puppy on a schedule comes out of a puppy on a schedule. Depending on their age, puppies may need to be fed two or three times a day. Feeding your puppy at the same times each day will make it more likely that they'll eliminate at consistent times as well, making house training easier for both of you.

Pick up your puppy's water dish about two and a half hours before bedtime to reduce the likelihood that they'll need to relieve themselves during the night. Most puppies can sleep for approximately seven hours without needing a bathroom break. If your puppy does wake you up in the night, don't make a big deal of it; otherwise, they will think it is time to play and won't want to go back to sleep. Turn on as few lights as possible, don't talk to or play with your puppy, take them out to the spot where they relieve themselves and then return them to bed.

He'll get it eventually. Even human babies take a while to finally get that they need to use the toilet. Just be patient. Not your fault. Not puppy's fault.
