My young puppy pees inside right after going out. Is this normal?

Question

Ten week old Aussie blue mural always peeing in the house even if she just went out. Eats the whole 1/4 cup of dry food and drinks the bowl dry.

It can be very normal for puppies to have frequent accidents in the house when they are house training, and sometimes even if they have urinated outside they can urinate when they get back indoors. I sometimes recommend trying a house training 'boot camp' for the weekend if you're struggling where you keep the puppy either in a small crate or tethered to you with a leash so it is supervised at all times when indoors, and going outside to urinate every 2 hours. If you feel like the frequency of urination is abnormal, or if your puppy squats and produces on a drop or two of urine a urinary tract infection might also be possible and you should see your veterinarian. Good luck!
