Why does my 2-month-old puppy keep peeing on rugs indoors?

Question

Our 2 month old puppy pees in my Mom's bedroom on her tbrow rugs. Why? He sleeps through the night in his bed in my room and waits to pee til I take him out, but if my Mom's bedroom door is open, he goes in there and pees on her throw rugs. I am 14 and a first time pet owner. My puppy is a boxer border collie shepherd mix. His name is Jax. Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 8 days old | 7 lbs

This is very common behavior for puppies. The rugs are similar to grass for them and they also smell their own scent on it so they will tend to go back to the same area. I would be sure to pick him up from his crate and carry him outside in the mornings. When you are hanging out with him during the day, I would try to take him out every hour and 15 minutes after he drinks water. I would try to keep your mom's door closed and only allow him to have access to a small part of the house until he is fully trained. It can take 3-4 months for them to become fully house trained so be patient and just continue to keep him on a strict schedule.
