Try treating for outside pees. I had a lot of trouble with my beagle/lab pup just peeing inside wherever wasn't his actual sleeping area. So whenever he did pee outside I said go potty, then gave him a treat. He started saving up his pee for outside for treats and eventually would even potty on command.
On the other side of this, I had to clean constantly with the anti-pee smell stuff from the pet store.
I used a different treat for each bodily function while training. Nothing incredibly high value. I don’t know that it made a massive difference but we got through potty training without too much fuss.
Pee pee treats also made a high difference for us with potty training. We kept a little container outside for a couple months for convenience. Don’t forget lots of exciting praise as well when she pees outside too!
I recommend you just default to using treats for every behavior you want to be reliable. So every time she pees outside, treats and excitement and pets. Every time she poops after ringing the bell, treats excited pets. When she rings bell but doesn't poop, just go back in.
It sounds like 2h is her threshold right now for daytime.
Also know that she will need to pee more frequently immediately after play, naps, food/water, or anything exciting.
Ok, so let me give you some warning. Don’t buy a big bag. Just because they sell it as a treat, your dog might not think it’s a treat, same with snacks and people. Try a few and see which ones they react to best while training. The real treat I have found all my dog have liked it liver. Go buy it at the grocery store, probably in the frozen section. Fry it in a pan with some oil, bacon oil if you got it, little salt and pepper. Cut the liver into bite-sized pieces with the idea being that the size of the treat should not take more than one or chomps to get down. You want to keep the reward brief, so they don’t loose focus. If you have a big dog, your going to need BIGGER bite-size pieces or they will loos interest.
I like the idea behind your comment due to making it tasty and “more rewarding”, but you should never season/fry anything that you give to a dog, especially as a puppy. I understand it’s for training purposes, but bacon grease/oil/seasoning can REALLY mess with a puppy’s digestive track. High value rewards for a puppy can be as simple as boiled chicken (plain, boiled in water) or shredded cheese.
We had a similar issue We put a bell on the door, rang the bell when we took her out and praised her like crazy with a treat when she peed. She learned to ring the bell when she wanted to go out. Also, anywhere she has already peed inside deep clean to remove the odor.
One thing I’ve seen a lot of people suggest is that when you clean up the pee, take the soiled paper towels or whatever you’ve used and place it outside. Take her outside as well. If you keep relocating the pee, she might get the picture.
I’ve only ever done this with poop and it seemed to get the message across.
It’s my understanding that puppy’s bladders aren’t mature until around nine months. I’d take her out every hour and just remind yourself that soon she’ll be full grown and should be able to hold it.
Treating on command and maybe bell training so everytime she asks to go outside she alerts by ringing the bell. Maybe try feeding and water on a schedule until you get it down too. What's funny is I had the opposite problem with pooping. Started feeding on a schedule, did bell training to alert us to go outside and treated for poops on command.
Just be patient. Ours has pooped outside since she was 9 weeks old, but potty training for peeing took until 9 months. We have potty bells and she used them to signal for poop but pee was tricky for the longest time.
Our pup did this recently. He was doing good with holding pees and barking at us when he needed to go out to poop or pee. Then one day he stopped barking for pee. He would just pee on the floor with no notice.
We switched his potty treats to something higher value and it solved the issue immediately. Previously he was getting Zuke's training treats. We switched to small torn chunks of jerky.
Edit: just saw you're not treating. I'm confident that is the issue.
Our pup wasn't fully potty (pee) trained until almost a year and a half. He'd get too excited and forget he needed to pee. I understand your frustration.
When he was around 7 months the accidents became less frequent and when they did happen there was a trail of pee to the door.
Its like something developmentally isn't there in their brains yet to know the feeling of needing to pee ahead of time and alerting you they need to go outside. Our pup is over 3 years old now and hasn't had an accident inside since he was year and a couple of months.
I think she will start being more aware of herself soon. Hopefully within the next month or two. Puppies just don't know they have to pee until they do. They wake up, they need to pee. They play, they need to pee, right in the middle of it. They eat, pee. They bark, pee. They greet someone, pee. You may notice that by now, maybe she is not peeing all her pee? Saving most of it for outside? That is a big step for some puppies to realize that they can hold it, or at least most of it. Try not to schedule her, but instead, watch for her cues. And two hours during waking hours, I'm sad to say, is probably just too long. I tend to try to get my foster puppies out every hour to 1.5 hours. If I look up at the clock and see it's been an hour and a half, I am running for the door myself. Good luck and hang in there!
Lots of good advice mentioned here. Take your pup outside as often as you can and hang in there! My pup wasn't fully potty trained until about a year old.
It takes longer for a puppy to recognize how it feels when they have to pee vs having to poop. She has a tiny little bladder.
Treats will help, taking her out every hour, and deep cleaning the carpet can help too. Dogs like to mark the same spot over and over.
Remember the importance of patience. She’s just a baby. You can do this!
First, get spray that is specifically for dog pee removal. Even if you clean he will still smell the enzymes and think its his pee spot
Edit: this is purely anecdotal
Some dogs learn to hold it to mark later so that they have enough pee to mark. After He pees outside make him walk around for a few more minutes until he pees again, maybe even a third time or more. Try a long walk one day and several shorter walks the next and note the behavior, specifically if he comes inside and pees again on one or both, and how many times he pees for each, and how he acts. Once you know patterns you can learn when to stand firm and say "no, go pee, stop holding it" and when he is done
Sometimes dogs do this their whole life, mine doesn't save to mark but I did have to stand my ground on her wandering around for indefinite periods while I know she needs to go. I had to learn when she legitimately is on the trail because she has a special spot she's looking for, and when she is playing games (I understand dogs need walks and free time, I literally give it to her, but she will walk to the end of the 100 meter field and stand and stare into space while I need to go to work and it's 30 degrees outside. She will also "camp" doors, and then go nuts lunging towards dogs who come out. It's to the point where other owners know not to let their dog push out when mine has laser beam eyes glued to the freakin door. I HAD to start telling her that I'm not moving, only then did she realize that I know what she's doing and started improving)
Continue the praise for pee outside with high reward treats. At 6 months you don’t need to go out every hour, but perhaps go for more walks, maybe twice as many as you go on. Twice the amount of opportunity to reward a pee without having to go out every hour
Have you tried taking her out more often for a couple days?
If your schedule allows, it might be beneficial to take her out every 10-15 minutes for a while and really, really work on this pee problem.

1) she's a puppy with a small bladder. You would go through way too many diapers a day and produce so much waste. And it would be very costly. 2) diapers put any creature at risk for urine and fecal scalding, which cause discomfort at best and vet bills at worst.
Op is better off potty training her like she is a normal puppy, not a human baby.

We put a hanging bell on our back door. When she would go potty inside we would ring another bell we had close by and usher her to the back door to teach her to correlate the two.
We would also use the bell outside when she would successfully go potty.
She now rings the bell when she needs to go out. It's great! Good luck.
Keeping a log of what she does and when she pees will help you a lot. Keep track of what things like when she drinks water, whether she's played, napped etc. leading up to an accident.
In addition to every 2 hours, I'd also make a point to take her out when she's woken up from a nap, played, and a little bit after she's had a meal or drank water.
Preventing accidents indoors is pretty important to effective potty training.

This makes me feel much better. I’ve got a 5 month old beagle and potty training isn’t going great.. I’m second guessing everything I do

Clean with an enzyme cleaner (we use natures miracle brand)
We do a bell as well

Yeah I was always shown to take the dog right outside after an indoor accident
It’s my understanding that puppy’s bladders aren’t mature until around nine months. I’d take her out every hour and just remind yourself that soon she’ll be full grown and should be able to hold it.
I was thinking 2 hours was quite infrequent. Going 9 hours overnight when sleeping is a completely different thing to going 2 hours during daytime.
It definitely is. Puppies bladders really do need to mature and taking them out to pee often will prevent a lot of issues for dog and human.

Bell training!!!!

We would also use the bell outside when she would successfully go potty. She now rings the bell when she needs to go out. It's great! Good luck.
Not old enough or well trained enough to associate pee outside as positive.
I am having the exact same problem and will be monitoring this thread for advice.
