I need help!

The first thing, however, you need to learn about housebreaking is patience and guidance. If you can't learn that, your dog will never be housebroken.

Thanks so much for all the info! I was just concerned that he wasn't associating going to the bathroom w/ outside... but today is day 4 and Luka is doing really well- about 1/3rd of the time outside. It seems he doesn't like going on cement and prefers grass! the other 1/3 he gets the puppy pad, 1/3 on the carpet (sometimes he just misses the pad and occationaly he messes the crate- which I think is more anxiety than needing to go.
Getting better at predicting his signs. I also found out his weakness- bananas! He LOVES them- and gets 2 slices everytime he goes in the right spot!
He really is a good puppy tho- listens very well. he had quite the panic attack this morning while in his crate. I was running errands and the tree trimmers came.
Thanks again for the help!
