Take Max out, please.
When you get home, don’t let him out right away.
Just ignore him and give him a good 5 minutes.

Get some snacks.
I have some chicken in the fridge.
It’s only for SPECIAL training.
Like the below.

Before you open his crate, make sure he’s not scratching.
Kneel down, put your hand on the crate lock, and just keep it there ’til he’s quiet.
Usually he’ll back away from the door and just sit there.
He’s been better at this and he hasn’t piddled… so we’ll see.
Give him a snack.

Then put him on the leash (make sure he’s calm and not fight him
before putting it on), make sure you say, “Max, go potty?” in a happy voice.
He’ll drink first (water outside front door) and then go.
He’s been quicker but make sure he goes and be PATIENT.
Walk around a bit and you can tell when he pees.
When he’s going, just say “good potty” really calm and then pet him good with lots of praises after and give him a snack.
Usually he’ll poop after but you got to walk around again and his butthole will be a bit bigger when he’s ready.
Then he’ll do his poop squat and go.
Pet pet pet, praise, and snack.

If he doesn’t go, stick him back in the crate and do it all over again.

Thanks :D
