11 week old puppy going to toilet separately minutes apart?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice on my border terrier x dachshund puppy and going outside for the loo please?

Essentially, he will go to the door for the loo, we let him out, he does a wee then comes back in. Maybe a minute or two later, he wants to go back out then will do another wee or a poo.

He does this like 4+ times a day, i can’t tell if he just doesn’t realise he needs to go to the loo at the time initially going or if he is trying to pull a fast one and get more treats instead of one for going to the loo(we don’t give treats for these instances anymore but still praise for going outside).

I think it partly could be our fault as when we were really honing in on the toilet training we would give him a treat most times he went to the loo outside and lots of praise. Am I overthinking this or is there anyone who has had similar experiences? Are there any tips on how to get your puppy to do all their ‘business’ in one garden trip instead of multiple?

Thank you!
