erm...help?
Dexter is almost five months old...and he still has waaay too many "accidents"
Every other dog i have owned ive taught to go to the door and bark, but Dexter doesnt bark (except when he screams at his stepsister elliot, lol).
He either:
A - runs to the door and immediately pees if your not there to let him out
or
B - acts like nothing is out of the ordinary, walkes three feet and pees (right in front of me not slinking away or anything)
Geh...im running out of ideas and everything i have tried doesnt seem to be working....is there any tricks you guys can give me? please?
thanks ^.^

Other solutions? One thing i've found useful is having a bell on the door, and my Shiba will ring the bell when he wants outside. But, you do have to train the dog to use it, sometimes they don't get it or can even be afraid of it.
Establish a routine, take him outside to pee every 45 minutes or so. Adding to that, take him out after he plays, after he wakes up from a nap and after he eats.
Careful with taking him out after he eats, make sure it's just to pee or poop, no running around. Of course, after he pees out side, praise him like there's no tomorrow and treat him, make him feel like he's the best dog in the Universe.
I have seen it before where he is outside for fifteen minutes and as soon as he comes in he pees...*rolls eyes*
