    How old is he? What breed is he?

    Have you taken any puppy training classes with him? I highly recommend it, as this helps with bonding, helps you learn to communicate clearly to him and he learns to want to follow your lead and please you. Then all this carries over to the potty training.

    He is six months old and he is part bichon and part shih tzu, I've heard both breeds tend to be stubborn, so I guess this is just going to be a waiting
    game. I've had dogs my whole life and I've never had this much trouble with potty training, if fact my dog that just died in september was the same
    mix and I didn't have as much trouble with him. anyway thanks for the suggestion

    I knew it! Part Bichon! Bichons are very busy doggies, and potty training rarely even makes it on their 'TO DO" list, lol. They often are not reliably potty trained until 12 months. So just be patient and consistent, you will get there.

    Bichons are not stubborn! Not sure where you go that idea.

    I wasn't saying anything against bichons, my last dog was part bichon and my daughter has bichons
    I know they are sweet loveable dogs. I just mean't he's not doing what I want him to do, so he's stubborn
    I guess when I think about it busy would probably be a better word for him because he reminds me of
    a typical little boy, always getting into something and always busy
