My first reaction is to worry that he's sick. Take him to the vet. That's not just a lot of accidents in a couple of hours, that's a lot of times for a dog to go to the bathroom. He might have eaten something bad or be carrying something from when he lived outside. Cute dog, hope it works out.

He just went to the vet a week ago, but if he keeps this up we will be getting in touch with her. I think he is due back for a second round of shots in not too long anyway.

Did he get vaccinations when you took him to the vet last week? I know with cats they can sometimes have a bad reaction for a week or so from the main cat vacinations. I don't know if it is the same for dogs. But, I also know it doesn't happen to all cats.

Just telling him "no" doesn't tell him anything. You have to rub his nose in it, give him a little spanking (just hard enough to let him know he did wrong) then put him outside.

Dogs just can't reason like this. If you don't actually stop him mid-deed, and instead rub his face in the mess, then he'll think its the mess you're pissed about, not the deed. That's when dogs start shitting under beds and in corners, thinking that if you don't see the mess, you won't be mad.

I've trained probably 10 dogs, every one of them like this with no problems. But yea, you have to catch them in the act, or immediately after. You can't do it like an hour later.
