 | |  | | OK, so its sounds like the only issues you are really having are with potty training. Is it urine or poo or both? It seems that you haven't had him real long yet, and is improving slowly thanks to your diligence. I would continue with letting him out OFTEN. Make sure to have the places he has gone sanitized with odor eating chemicals so it no longer smells of his accidents. After no accidents for a while, at least a week, then I would slowly extend the amount of time in between trips out.
As for weight gain, is he free fed or measure fed? What is he eating? These can affect not only the weight, but the need to go out. He may have poo issues from the wrong food for him too. (such as many many boxers are allergic to foods. Chicken is a high allergen to us that is many of the dog foods out there) I would look into the foods forums and see where your food rates, adn see what adjustments can be made to help his tummy. |  |  | |  |

) He walks wonderful on the leash most of the time. I correct him immediatly so thats not a problem. The problem is that he will not let me know when he has to potty. There is no sound or whine or anything. He will just go. I now take him outside every hour to make sure that he is not going to go in the house. He is crate trained and has accidents in the crate, we did make is a little smaller so no accidents any longer in the crate but what can I do about the house? Also since we brought him home he has had the "poops" took him to the vet and they gave me some medicine for it but it continues.
But it's still effective and he hasn't had an accident since.
