    he doesnt ask to go out anymore - please help

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anybody can help me with this dilemma.
    I have 7 months old male Pomeranian who is having problems with potty training. It looks like he forgot how to "ask" to go outside and now he does his business inside. I thought his potty training was complete 1 months ago, since we didnt have any accidents for about 1 month or so. He would always wine by the door whenever he needed to go out. Now, it seems like he forgot that he needs to ask to go outside and goes inside instead. What should i do? Why is he acting this way?
    Thank you

    My pup stopped "asking" around the same age, and then started again later. All you have to do is take him out regularly regardless of whether he "asks" to go out. If you have a general idea of how often he needs to potty, that's all you need to know - just take him out preemptively.

    Your dog is not potty trained.  Please go back to the training phase and start again.  Once you have gone 12 weeks accident free, then you can call the dog potty trained.

    do you think i should start with crate training again? Are there other options i can try?
    Do you think taking him out regularly will help him learn? I would really hate to go back to the whole crate training process
    thank you

    I would most certainly go back to using the crate.I would use the crate until your dog is about 18 months old.
