My Maltipoo puppy has accidents inside and won't eat treats.

Question

Hi, my Maltipoo won’t go pee/poop outside, but when we bring him in he has an accident inside. Also he tends to poop inside his kennel where his bed is. And he for some reason does not like many treats if not any. We tried to give him some bacon treats, power bites, and even some grain free ones from petco... but he just won’t take them. B/c he won’t eat treats, it’s become very difficult to train him. -Lauren. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | 2 months and 27 days old | 3.07 lbs

he is very young to be fully trained yet, so do not get discouraged, most do not get it until closer to 4 months. If he is going to the bathroom in his kennel, then his kennel is too big. You need to make it smaller so he will not have that much room.. he needs enough space to stand up and turn 1 circle and lay down again. When you take him out, when goes, reward him with treats and praise. If he does not go, back in to the kennel--wait 5 minutes--outside to try again. Make sure you carry him outside as sometimes they get too excited they just can't make it all the way there on their own yet. As far as treats goes, you can try boiled chicken or yogurt or even cheerios and animal crackers to help encourage him since he is a picky eater. Praise can work well for some too if he prefers that over food.
