Max was actually house broken in about 2 weeks. He still does have an accident every now and again. Max also used to pee in his crate but hasn't in over a few months. Is his crate maybe 2 big for your dog? If he has a lot of room, he will pee in it. Make sure you praise your dog for peeing/going his deed outside. Maybe give him a treat when he does it outside. Good luck!
