Dogs are in some ways different than human beings. Not only do they have a need to empty their bladders of urine, when they get too full, but they also use their urine to leave a scent that tells other dogs that they had been there. It is a way of claiming a territory as being theirs. Although this serves no actual purpose if the dog is someones pet, it remains as an instinctive behavior, from the time when dogs were not pets and had to hunt for their own food, and needed their own territory in which to hunt.

This takes a lot of patience, maybe something scared him/her the last time outside, so you may have to start all over again, it takes love, and patience ( every couple of hours to go back outside)

My vet expects my beagle puppy to be housebroken in less than 3 weeks How can I train her so quickly?

Our puppy was potty trained in less than 3 weeks. What we did is we put a bell hanging from our door knob. We took her outside to use the bathroom after every single nap, in the mornings when she woke up, and about every hour. We would hit her paw on the bell and say outside. We would give her a treat right after she went to the bathroom outside and over praised her. Soon enough she would walk over to the bell when she needed to use the bathroom. Continue to use treats for awhile when they do this and your puppy will be trained in no time!
