I'm getting very frustrated with potty training! Dash will be 11 weeks old in a few days, and I know that's still very young, but he seems to be going backwards. We'd had 3-4 days with no accidents, but now these past few days we've had several each day. He keeps his crate dry at night and when in there for 4-5 hours a couple afternoons a week. He occasionally will ask to go out and will pee right away. So those are all good things, I know. But, then suddenly, he'll start peeing minutes after he's come inside. He's always supervised, if we aren't where we can watch him he's in his crate. We are always watching for signs, and we aren't noticing any. He'll just squat and go with no warning. (Occasionally, he will give clues, but when he does that, we whisk him outside and then there's no accident.) It's getting very stressful because *certain* family members are blaming *other* family members and those *other* family members are doing the best they can. The accidents are always pee, never poop. Any idea when I can start expecting things to get better? Today was a very long day.

It can be very frustrating. Phoebe is 8 months almost and today we had a pee and a poop in the house! Sigh. For young puppies I found that putting them on the lead in the garden ensured that they performed rather than being distracted. My regime went something like. Wake up out to toilet, play, out to toilet. Sleep, out to toilet, this endless cycle continued for weeks, but slowly the gaps between toileting gets longer and one day you realise it's been a week! Stay strong. I think it helps to realise that puppies are like babies, it takes us humans years to be clean and dry. It only takes puppies a few months.
