We just adopted a 3 and 1/2 year old Pit Bull from a shelter. He was abused, but he's very sweet. My problem is he was an outside dog and now he keeps peeing in the house with many potty breaks. He never poops, just pee. How to I get him to stop?

You need to put him on a strict feeding and walking schedule. Praise him when he goes outside and dont punish him for accidents.
Make sure you use an enzyme based cleaner to clean the places he has marked or else he will keep going back to the same spot
Have you had the vet check him out? Being an outside dog, the poor thing could have a health condition going on that is contributing to this. Once the pup gets a clean bill of health, work with your vet to develop a good crate training regime.
I worry about crates because he was abused and put in a small space before so I worry hell see the crate as a punishment no matter how much I try to show him its a safe place and thank you
Hi!
Your pup is adorable!
I would begin to by getting a wire crate, I like the large ones. In this crate would be where he eats and gets treats and stays between exercise and potty breaks.
I hope this helps. Enjoy your sweet new friend:)
