Kronos is kept indoors till he completes his vaccination. The problem is that since the day I got him, he has a habit of lying down in his urine after peeing on the hard floor. He stands up dripping and stinking of urine and I have to wash him sometimes three to four times a day. What baffles me is he could easily lie down on any dry part of the house but he deliberately, repeatedly lies down in urine instead. What can I do?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
Kuro is a bit young to have too many expectations. I would only walk him in the areas you want him to urinate in. If he won't go put him in the crate and try again. use commands like "go pee pee" or "do your business." Then when he goes make a HUGE deal about it: verbal praise, pet him, great treat and then play with him for a while. If he does poop or pee put it in the area you want him to go. He will eventually catch on!
I hope this helps and I wish you and Kuro the best!
