my 4 month old daschund/maltese/pekingese/pug puppy will not stop having little accidents in the house, help?
We got him about 2 or 3 months ago and he still tends to pee on the poles and curtains and even the laundry basket upstairs, he also sometimes poops in my moms room upstairs, we use vinegar to clean up the messes but it doesn't seem to work, he's outside alot, and will sometimes cry at the door when he has to go out, he does his buisness outside, but also inside too, ive tried the smacking him on the butt, and yelling at him and putting him outside however he doesn't seem to learn, i feel bad smacking him but i don't know any other ways, can anyone help me?
slight error, hes 5 months as of nov. 22, we got him sept 18, so we've almost had him for two months, still it would be great if he could stop having accidents, i don't know how else to deal with it
He's a puppy and he's going to have accidents. Don't hit him and don't yell at him.
Crate train him. Put him in his crate when you can't supervise him. Take him outside first thing in the morning and 10 minutes after he eats. You can limit his water after midnight, but by no means deprive him of necessary hydration (use a water bottle to give you a visual aid for how much water you're asking him to hold). Puppies are cute but are by no means easy. You've got a couple months of training ahead of you before he's completely house broken.
And be sure to get a product like Nature's Miracle to clean up messes. Traditional cleaners don't eliminate the ammonia scent the encourages continued marking.
I really do think crate training will be the best option for you when you can't be hyper-vigilant. Bear in mind that anytime he's playing or running around, he'll want to go more often, so equating inside time with calm tranquility might also help decrease the incident of accidents.
When he does eliminate outside (first thing in the morning after being let out of his crate) give him *plenty* of praise. As ludicrous as it sounds, you're going to have to be his potty training cheerleader. Use some warm chicken bits for positive reinforcement and coincide his elimination with the command "go potty" (or whatever like command you want to use). Soon enough, he'll put the pieces together and eliminate outside on your command. Good luck with him.

Seven Easy Ways to Celebrate Beltane
The first of May is Beltane or May Day, a time to celebrate the leaping fires of passion. It marks the height of spring and the flowering of all life. Beltane is a festival of sensuality, sexuality, flowers and delight. It is a traditional time to make love, preferably outdoors.
There are many lovely old customs associated with this time. Here are seven simple ideas for celebrating this wild red time of year:
1. Make a May basket. Fill it with flowers or other outdoor objects. Leave it on a doorstep of someone who cannot get outside, such as an invalid or elderly person.
2. Make a wreath of freshly picked flowers and wear it in your hair.
3. Perfume your house with delicate scent of woodruff, a tiny, star-like flower that blooms around this time in the Northern Hemisphere.
4. Dress in bright colors, especially hot pink or crimson, the traditional colors of Beltane.
5. Erect a Maypole in your yard. It doesn't have to be tall. You can use a yardstick, broomstick, or even a twig. At the top of the pole affix different colored ribbons. Get a group of friends, and have each choose a ribbon and make a wish upon it. (For example, "I choose this red ribbon for more passion in my life.") Dance around the Maypole entwining your ribbons together. Then take the entwined ribbons and make a hair wreath out of them. Take turns wearing it.
6. Embrace the ones you love. Hugs and kisses all around.
7. Write poetry about Beltane, and then recite your poems aloud, preferably outside. Try haiku, an ancient Japanese poetry-art form. Haiku consist of three unrhymed lines of five, seven and five syllables. Here are three haiku about May to give you the idea:
Happy women weave
colored ribbons round their hearts
dreams become prayers
flap your black swan wings
hoot like a young chimpanzee
dance a lively dance
petals will open
roses show their hot male hearts
make love to yourself
Holidays are days made holy by the attention we pay them. Simple practices such as the ones listed above remind us that we too dance to the natural rhythms of the earth.
