Question
Our dog is a very good and sweet dog, and he thinkgs he's a lap dog even though he ways 45 pounds.  However, he will stay in the (heated) garage all night long and not pee, but when in the house during the day, he thinks we should walk him every hour or he pee's. I'm Not walking him every hour and he is Not peeing in the house, so any suggestions?

Answer
Hi, Wendy,

How old is the dog? How long have you had him? If he's a rescue do you know anything about his past history? Many rescue dogs go into the system because of housebreaking issues, and beagles are notoriously difficult to housebreak.

I don't think you should have to walk him every hour, but it would be good to know why he's peeing in the house. You may have to crate train him as if he were a new puppy.
