I have a 10 week old boston male. He is great! He is playful and at times a bit much. He is teething now and we try to make him use is toys instead of our fingers and shoes. Besides that he pees and poops everywhere! I dont know what to do. He uses the pee pee pad to pee but, then when he has to poop he sniffs the pad and does his business 2 steps from the pad. I take him out after meals and he will pee/ poop outside but as soon as I take him back in, he does it in my house again. Is this a spiteful thing? I need help training him.

Training
by: Mary

There are many ways to potty train your pup. Different ones work for different pups. Sounds like you have gotten most of it under control. Maybe you could stay outside just a little longer and play fetch. Or you could go outside first, then inside for only about 5 minutes and follow him around the whole time,then back outside for another Potty Time.

There are other ways of training too. Perhaps read about it online. We use your method combined with crate training. Sometimes it take a full hour for them to completely eliminate outside. So I have learned to bring something outside for me to do while they sniff and pee. Sometimes I read my mail or just enjoy the sunshine. Other times I stand over them and say "hurry up" "GO!" and try to make them go faster. We don't go back inside until they go so if I am in a hurry and they don't go, they get put in their crate until I come back home.

Just keep trying and remember that with Boston's it is never "perfect" but the older they get the better it gets.
