Dog Health Questions: How do I get my dog to stop going potty in the house?

I've had my dog for almost 2 years (since he was 8 weeks old,) and ever since we got him, he's gone potty in the house. There were a few breaks where he didn't go at all inside, but now he just keeps doing it. We took him to dog training classes, also. Please help! Thank you.

Take your dog out often and wathch him when he goes potty reward him with a treat... some dogs just aint meant to be house broken and maybe hes not geting enough attention so dogs use that as a defence.

Dog Training - Consistency vs. Habitual

• sounds like you havent had any luck training your pooch but its not too late..
  get a crate for his size and start putting him in it when you arent able to watch him..
  shampoo everywhere he has went to the bathroom so it doesnt attract him to continue..
  take him out often and praise him and give him treats when he goes outside, never hit him for accidents or yell at him..
  patience is what its gonna take to train him and you have to be consistent..
  good luck


• I'm no dog expert, but I would make sure you scold him everytime he does it and send him outside. Maybe set up a kind of dog litter tray? Put some of his poop into it to encourage him to go there and reward him when he does. If you can't get him to go outside then maybe a tray is better?
  
  But firstly, are you letting him go outside enough? He can't exactly tell you when he needs to go. Let him outside in the morning, at lunch, at night and after he's eaten, just to be safe. Hopefully he'll get the message.
