It's fairly new, when we first brought him home he never went in the house. I asked the trainer about that, and she said probably because he was unsure of his surroundings at first, but then as he became more comfortable he decided it was ok. That's one of the reasons I think he's marking. We've never actually caught him peeing, when we are home (and awake) he jumps around a whines until we let him out. Usually we just open the door and let him out, but lately I have been putting his leash on before we leave to go anywhere and walk him up the street and back so he can mark (usually he marks all over outside, he is such a dominant male!). Maybe I'll start doing that before we go to bed too.

Gina, if I have any questions about crate training while I'm training him in it, do you have a problem if I pm you? Thank you guys so much for your help!
