Maybe he's shying away because you call him "bad boy". He himself diesnt know what to do. The act of peeing needs to be called bad. So instead of bad boy, maybe try bad potty/pee.

I find my 2 are very reward motivated and anything good gets a good reinforcement. Bad behaviour such as potty in the house is recognized as bad potty. The dog itself isnt bad just the act or behaviour.

Keep training and they will eventually get the good behaviour down.

Positive, positive... boxers work well with positive. Moka uses the bell hanging off the door knob. She learned that quickly. She is 8 months now and rarely has an accident in the house. I used everything with training her. I found it worked best by taking her outside every 1/2 hr to start and using the bell. Now she tells me when she needs to go out.

Wyatt would have at least one pee or poo accident a day, it was so frustrating. But once I moved out of the townhouse and back home he pooped once in the basement and that's it! We do have a doggy door for the other dog that's he just fits, I think he enjoys letting himself out! Good luck!

My girl is 2 and a half.. An when we come home from work she shakes her little butt so hard out of excitement that she starts to pee all over.. I've just learnt to come home and either ignore her as much as possible so she doesn't get to excited or just take her right out before stepping in the house..

Since he's a puppy and not house trained he needs to be walked every 20-30 mins. I know that's a pain but puppy's pee a lot and he will have less accidents if he's walked about 20 mins. That's how I house trained my adult DASCHUND. He wasn't house trained so I had to teach him like I would a puppy.
