My last pup came inside at 8½ weeks and had the run of the house 24/7. She was paper trained that first afternoon. NO "accidents" . Your dog is already well-adjusted to going toilet somewhere outside. Good. Against that are that (1) he is now too heavy for you to pick up and carry, and (2) you haven't bothered to learn his signal for wanting to go toilet. You MUST leanr that signal, so that you can INSTANTLY take him out to his toilet-spot, then stand there still-&-silent until he remembers what he wanted to do so does it. THEN you enthusiastically praise-&-reward him (e,g. "Good boy Toby TOILET!" followed by pats or rubs). As he is too heavy to carry, he will need to have a short leash (about 30cm/12" long) on inside, so that you can quickly grab it and lead him outside. Once you are perfect at noticing his signal and he is recognising what your "TOILET" (or a substitute word - he doesn't speak English) means, you might consider training him to ring a small bell hanging beside the door - but do the first things first, not attempt to jump straight to training him to deliberately alert you. And there is no such thing as a "german sheppard".

The one thing you might have problems with however is him wanting to cock his leg all over the place inside. It's what adult males do as a way of telling all the world that they've been there. I suggest to start off with you bring him inside on a leash and watch him like a hawk for the slightest indication he's about to cock his leg. And the moment he attempts it you need to immediately rebuke him in a loud high pitched way.<br><b>References : </b><br> If he’s smart and you know what you’re doing you ought to be able to do it in anything from a few days to a couple of weeks.

If the trainer is very clear in what is expected, and does not give the dog time to develop bad habits, it can be very quick. The shortest time it has taken me to housebreak an adult dog was two days, and the longest was a week and a half. A young puppy would take longer.

Take him and a sample of his urine to the vets. If he has an infection the medication will not work if he still has limited access to the outside world. Take him for a long walk before you leave him, get the dog walker to come more often and rush home from work to take him for another long walk. If he does not have a urinary infection he still need to go out more often.
