Hi all. Let me start out saying that this isn't my first dog, just my first bulldog, and I know all the basics of potty training. I guess what I'm trying to determine is if this is just "normal" bully behavior, or if I'm doing something wrong for this breed/dog.
Winston is now 14 weeks old. He has been with us for about 6 weeks. He does great in his crate. Only has pee accidents in his crate if I leave him in there too long or I let him get a big drink late in the evening. He's able to stay in his crate from around 9 or 9:30 at night until 5 in the morning with no issue.
His troubles are out of crate. Although we take him out multiple times during the day (about every three hours) he continues to go in the house, which is understandable... accidents will happen. What has me frustrated is he gives no sign or indication that he needs/wants to go outside. I've raised Great Danes before and have two now. Typically by this time they've figured out the basics of this exercise and give you a sign. My little bully doesn't. He doesn't even try to hide it. He'll squat right in front of you while looking you dead in the eye.
He's been checked out by the vet and has no medical issues she can find.
So is it me? is it he breed? Or is my little guy just extra stubborn and I'm in for a long and bumpy ride?
