When i first got him he was too scare of outside to use the toilet and would sit on my feet or shake and not move and would pee/poo the second we got back inside.

He picked up puppy pads in a day or 2 and since then has got used to peeing outside mostly. One of my concerns is that he will pee multiple times in an hour when we’re playing/he’s overtired - sometimes small amounts and sometimes actual pees. I’m unsure if this is normal and if it will improve as he ages and gets better bladder control.

The other issue is that he hates pooing outside and even if i stand outside for 20 mins the second we get back in he will poo, ive tried bringing the puppy pads outside but it doesnt help.

I’ve had him for a 1.5 weeks and in all other areas he learns extremely fast. I think im worried he’ll develop a habit of peeing inside when hes hyper and will never poo outside.

I got a whippet puppy yesterday who was meant to be 9 weeks old but on his documents is actually still 7 weeks old.

He is extremely clingy, wont sleep or settle if hes not laid on me so ive been keeping him on my bed. This means im unable to leave the room to cook/clean/shower etc and I dont know how to help him be okay on his own.

Hes picked up peeing on puppy pads quickly but not when he poos and im unsure how to train him to. If i take him outside to use the toilet he gets scared and climbs into my jumper or obsessively eats the dry pine needles on the floor.

I grew up with whippets and other dogs but he is my first proper puppy and any tips would be greatly appreciated
