I agree with Giselle, sounds to me like Charlie may not be potty trained. When Teddy started having accidents in the new house we just started all over. It took awhile, but he caught on.


As for him not going in the ten minutes, then start him on a schedule you think will work. Every dog is different. It takes mine about 5 minutes to go and come back in. For Charlie you may need to spend 20 minutes, three times a day till he goes in the allowed time. Then move it down to 15 minutes, then down to 10. If you find he is unable to take such a big jump in time, you can do it in smaller increments such as 20 mins, 18 mins, 15 mins, 13 mins etc.

Keep working with him and he will improve. I know with Nova it felt like for weeks were at a stand still and making no progress. Then all the sudden we took a huge step forward. It takes time, patience and love, but the rewards are well worth it.

Good luck,
Ashley
