@Phoebe_C@mastodon.social @VoxOfGod@beige.party This is my fifth dog; fairly experienced with doing all the usual house training things.
He's a little over a year old and was at the humane society for most of his life so far -- I doubt he ever had incentive to "hold it". I take him out and for walks quite frequently and he'll even go on command (very smart and otherwise well-behaved, especially for his age), but once he has any in the tank, he'll just go. Try to keep him in-view at all times, but easier said than done.

@swansonite@twit.social I'd have a vet check to be sure no UTI. I'd observe to see what happens just before they start to tinkle (to see if there's a pattern, or suggestion of anxiety, etc). In the meantime, when I could not be nearby to escort them out, I'd manage with a baby gate in an area that you can easily clean or use puppy pads. This let's them move to help self regulate. Lots of positive reinforcement & low stress handling. Pets to your new pup!
