Why does my dog pee inside after being outside and crate trained?

Question

My dog is crate trained however every time I let him have a space to run around in the house he pees in the floor.. He has no infection and has already been put outside to potty before I let him run around the house. Please help! Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | neutered | 6 lbs

You will need to go outside with Chewy to make sure that he potties before allowing him to run around in the house - if he doesn't pee when you take him out, put him back in his crate and try again in 10-15 minutes. You can also help this process by giving him a treat right away when he pees outside - this will help motivate him to pee every time you take him out. Until he is fully house trained, you will also need to supervise him at all times when he is not in his crate, so that you can rush him outside if you see him starting to have an accident. When he has gone two weeks without any accidents at all, you can gradually begin to give him more freedom.
