We have a 4 month old puppy who is teething bad! Found out that a good enrichment toy is just an empty Gatorade bottle (remove all the plastic on the outside) and throw some ice in there! Our girl plays with it for hours

Picked up our mini schnauzer between 8-9 weeks old, he is now 12 weeks. For 3 weeks straight we have been taking him outside every 30 or so minutes, before and after naps, after eating, and after play. We grab his paw and get him to ring the potty bells on the door every time before we go outside. He does go pretty reliably outside, and we say “yes, good potty” in the middle of him peeing or pooping, and then he gets a treat immediately after.

He still has frequent accidents in the house though. 2 poops and a pee in the last 2 days and most of the time these are shortly after coming back inside. I’m getting frustrated and exhausted. I know 3 weeks isn’t very long but should something not be clicking by now? He does not use the bells to let us know he needs to go outside and just casually squats and poops/pees right in front of us without warning.
