It could certainly help. It may be that he isn't 'letting it all go' so to speak when you put him in the garden. When you walk them on the other hand they tend to squeeze every last drop out.

Maybe do a half hour walk in the morning and then half hour again in the evening. If he is tired from a walk he will be more inclined to go to sleep in his crate and generally speaking if he is asleep, his mind and consequently his bladder won't be as active.

Hi, no he is only kept in the garage in the morning. He is in the kitchen overnight.

Yes he is a wee machine in the morning! Never had a problem with him overnight!

I must also mention though he used to have a problem weeing when we went for a walk as in he wouldn't wee on the lead, only off the lead which is impossible to do when we take him around the block as he can;t be let off the lead! He would hold it then do it in the back garden! So, in the end I decided to try an extendable lead & it worked!!! I'm sure he is playing mind games!!

Well I did used to leave him in my kitchen but he decided the cupboards looked tempting to chew! He has stopped teething now so I was thinking of moving him back in there and also before the cold weather arrives but didn't want him to reck the kitchen!

At 7 months he should only be having 35 minute walks in the morning & the afternoon.

What sort of pad are you putting in his crate ?

Are you using a puppy training pad ?

Why is he in the garage in the mornings ?
