After my 9 week old german shepherd mix puppy drinks water, he pees every 15 minutes. Lately, I will take him outside, then we will come back in and 5 minutes later he will pee on the floor. I have been reading a lot about it and people say to catch him while he's doing it and say "outside" and I have, but I am afraid that he has now learned to associate peeing on the floor (or starting to pee on the floor) with being outside (which he loves). I think he now pees on the floor just so that he will get to go outside again. Please don't get me wrong, I take him outside all of the time, but I think he really loves it out there and is peeing on the floor just so that he can stay out there more often. Is this possible? I do not think he's peeing out of excitement or submission because he will do it whether or not we're looking, and whether or not he's excited. Is there any way to have him hold it for longer after he drinks water? When we're not here, he doesn't really have accidents, so I know that he can hold it! Help!
Update:In response to the third answer, I constantly supervise him. I mean literally if he's awake, he's being supervised. That is how I am able to see that he is peeing inside of my apartment. I've spent now three weeks searching on the internet how to house train a puppy, but nothing online says anything about peeing inside being associated with wanting to go outside and play out there. People online just give suggestions about rewarding for going outside with treats, constant supervision, catching a puppy when he starts to pee and saying "outside" and cleaning up but not reprimanding if you did not catch him in the act.

Yes, it is possible. When you take him out for his pee, after the deed is done, keep him outside for a while. Play with him, let him run around. Keep a watch. After his second pee, go in. See if that helps. Worked for one of mine a few years ago that did the same thing.
I don't think some people giving advice have much experience housebreaking dogs. Puppies vary. Many do love the outside. Some catch on to the idea that as soon as they eliminate, they will be drug back inside. They then put off. Others are too excited at being out to finish. Taking them in too soon leads to a puddle. Also make sure he is active enough to stimulate eliminating. Play with him a little after he urinates. Stay our longer a few times and see what it take to drain him completely. Part of housebreaking is learning your puppy. And keeping up to the moving target as it matures.

Rubbing her face in it is going to no longer do any well. You ought to be consitent and supervise her continuously. When you cant supervise, crate her. If you seize her "within the act" inform, her firmly "NO" then take her to the preferred spot, and compliment her as soon as there... although she dribbled via the residence. You cant scold her for a pile you discover after the truth.. slap your self for no longer looking her bigger. Clean up all messes with a well cleanser. Personally I believe the mats are simply complicated to domestic dogs.. such a lot "pad knowledgeable" puppies I understand nonetheless regularly leave out, and lots of of them will use different surfaces which might be very similar to the pee pad, equivalent to a bed. "Inside/external" appears to be extra defining of wherein's an appropriate position to potty. There's no "rapid" technique to housebreak. It can take weeks, and even months. Many domestic dogs are truthfully housebroken too, or have the suggestion, however they don't have the bladder manage, that is why you ought to supervise and make certain she will get to the potty field good earlier than the urge moves.
If your puppy can go to the bathroom indoors, he's not being supervised enough.
If your puppy can go to the bathroom indoors, he's been given the run of the house which he clearly hasn't earned.
Crate train in combination with umbilical leash. It's effective, safe, humane, and it WORKS as long as the owner is consistent and persistent.

tke him out very often, the same amount of time every time. reward him with a small cookie and paise him everytime, if he goes inside put his face down to it and scold him and take him ack outside and say pee pee outside. i used a bell on my door and jingled it everytime i went out and now when he need to go he jingles it with his nose. also try keeping him outside longer and walking him a bit and give him time to go, maybe he needs to find a good pee pee spot.
