Why does my puppy pee indoors when kids visit? Potty training?

Question

My new puppy is 16 weeks old. When my 3 and 4 year old kids visit, Otis pees in the house. Seems he is jelious even though we give him plenty of attention. Could it be anything else? Thanks, Todd. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 23 days old

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It does not sound like Otis is jealous but that he is just not fully potty trained yet. When the kids are over it is likely he gets distracted and forgets he needs to go outside to go potty. Also, when puppies get excited they can urinate without knowing it. I would recommend taking him outside more frequently when the kids are over so he has adequate times to go potty. make sure to praise him when he goes outside to go potty. This behavior will likely pass the next few months With proper training. Good luck and kisses to Otis!
