when i read your post - i giggled because i thought of my jack chi when he was that age (hes almost 5 now). they have such characters and they will make you want to pull your hair out at times but you will be surprised in a year or twos time, when you may be sad or crying and they come over to you to show you they know you're sad. its overwhelming how lovely jack chis are.

my dog now will still play up aka he barks all the time at anything and everything!!

yours is just a puppy - he will have good and bad days. just persevere and in time he will know the routing.

We adopted a female Jack Chi at the age of 10 weeks and had the exact same thing happen to us. Like the other person said, we became consistent and put her on a schedule. We also purchased dog treats to help train her to potty. Every time she would pee or poop outside we would say, "Good Girl!!! Do you want a treat?!" She would run to the door and we would reward her with a small one (size of a pea). Once she was trained we finally winged her off the treats. She hasn't had an accident since and now she is over a year old! Good luck with everything!

He is only a puppy, you need to have patience and consistency. Consistency is key. You need to make sure you keep him on a strict schedule where you take him out every few hours. 4 months old is too young for being "punished". Make sure you have puppy proofed the house and have given your puppy mental stimulation in the way of chew toys. If you catch him chewing on something he is no supposed to just say "no" and give him the chew toy instead. Do you have a enzyme based pet cleaner - if your puppy makes in the house you need to use that special cleaner(you can get it in pet stores) so that all traces of the smell are gone otherwise the puppy will revisit that spot. Because it is only a puppy you shouldn't really leave it unattended. Keep it in the same room you are in otherwise have a crate for it. That will cut down on accidents. I suggest you buy a basic puppy training book to help you with all this.
