The only reason I put the puppy pad down is because we are renting ATM and I didn't want to risk him peeing or pooing on the carpet. He sniffed at it and then I just got up and took him out. I think he would have stayed asleep a bit longer if it wasn't for the cat..

Well success.... not a noise from him all night. He woke just now at 5:30 because of the cat. We got up and he did wees outside. Waiting to catch him doing poos outside still.

Thanks guys. I will certainly take him out if he needs to. He does have a dog door he can get out but it hasn't clicked yet to use that to go outside. I will put up the barrier tonight to keep him confined to a small area. Will I use a puppy pad?

Ok thanks guys, He usually stays right by my bed bit he doesn't always last all night without needing the loo. I've never had a puppy, our last dog was already housetrained and we never had an issue. So until I get a crate I might put the barrier up so he is confined to an area overnight. Should I put a puppy pad down? I will still have him by my bed and he will on carpet. Persephone be sure to use a good enzyme based cleaner ..and once pup wakes up..HE IS FIRST to be taken out. Immediately - or there will be accidents . He is most certainly the first out with treats ready and the que word for when he does go. I have that urine offf stuff, but he still pees inside. Not just at night. Oh... the penny has dropped.... because he pees inside at night I guess he thinks it's ok during the day... hitting head against the wall now.... Back to containing him at night...

He doesn't sleep there all night just early in the morning before we get up he has cuddles. Is it to late to start crate training? He has the run of the house at night. Doesn't cause an problems, expect poos a wee to clean up.

Ok so it's been a week and we have some improvement. BUT he has peed on my bed 2 nights in a row now. Last night was at 1am when my daughter woke up after a nightmare so I could maybe forgive that but tonight was just as we were getting into bed. He just got up and I put him off, he got back up and was just sitting there and peed sitting down I was about to take him outside to go as well (as I've done every night for the last week) What I don't understand is, he sleeps on this bed as well...

You're awesome thank you so much

Bugger.... Thank you I will check this out after work this afternoon.

I do have them down all time because he is going inside the house (not that he uses them often) he pees wherever he feels like. But mostly for night time. We get up to at least 1 wee and a 2 poos. Should I take them away altogether? Maybe that's confusing him. We do have a dog door that he knows how to use and I do take him out that to go pee and reward him for using it, I've turned the house into a toilet haven't I?

We have a beautiful little King Charles Cavilier who is 4 months old. Trying to training him poo and pee outside. Sometimes he does it, and gets a treat and lots of praise. Other times he won't but will walk straight back inside and do it there. Why is that? His scent is outside as I've put his pee pads out there and left a poo or 2 around Tonight he peed on my bed, again right after we went outside and as I was getting into bed. He usually sleeps with me until I go to sleep then he has his bed right beside me on the floor. I don't yell at him when he does it inside I just pick him up and put outside where he's supposed to go if I catch him in the act. If not, I just clean it up. I'm finding it difficult to train him, any ideas? I know it's normal, just wanting tips and / Or advice.
