I’ve tried catching him in the act clapping and then taking him outside, i’ve tried crating letting him out every hour, the penny can trick..everything..HELP!!

If its an animal take it outside straight afyer its had a drink or feed
See my posts on other potty training problems. I have three adult paps, raised from 12 weeks. I especially believe small dogs have small bladders, I use a piddle station for emergencies and when I can’t let them out every couple of hours. And your paps are smart. They don’t choose to just need to “go” more often than big dogs. Try the piddle pads and have them go often – every half hour for pups and work up to every one or two hours for adults; and right after sleeping and right after playing. good luck.
