He is 7 months now and I shouldn't be surprised as both Vegas and Disney took forever to toilet train. The annoying thing is, like those two, he is so bright and picks other things up sooo quickly but keeping pee for outdoors just hasn't clicked yet :005: 

He isn't being distracted by the others as he does toilet outside - he will then just come indoors and do some more >:( Another one here saying amen for wooden floors ;)

Max used to pee/poop on the patio when he was tiny cos if it was damp, he didn't like getting his little @rse wet on the grass - took us ages to figure that out!!!  :005:

Ruby is pretty much toilet trained now and we did something that the vet recommended to my mum about her cat who had suddenly decided to start weeing indoors (he had been housetrained for years and there was nothing medically wrong with him - he just chose to go indoors in the cold weather or the rain).

After cleaning it up thoroughly, move the dog's bed or food bowl on to that patch.  We did this with Ruby when she would spend an hour in the garden and then run straight in and wee on the floor - when we weren't looking because she knew she was supposed to go outdoors.  This worked for us.  It is for when dogs are going inside not through need but through choice.  They don't like going in their own space and they just have to be taught that all of the house is their own space.
