I've been having a potty problem with my pup. I posted it in the puppy forum but no one saw it. You can reference it here:

Today I am at my wits end. Here is what happened. He does his business on the other side of the house. I don't have a baby gate yet, so I fashioned a net across the doorway seperating the two sides of the house. I know I need to supervise him, but with kids, I figure I don't need to sit and watch the pup eat so I'll use the net for that time.
I tested it yesterday and he couldn't get out.. This morning, I let him out of his crate and say "go potty", in which he responded by going back in his crate. I gave him 5 minutes and tried again. Well, it finally worked on the 4th time. When he went to the door to go potty I praised him. He went pee and came back and I praised him again. Then he went to eat. After realizing I couldn't hear him for about 30 seconds, I went to find him. He had gotten on the otherside of the net, pee'd alot on the carpet and pooped in a bedroom. And this is only within about 5 minutes of going outside.
I don't know if this is normal, or I need to do something right now to stop it, but I can't stand it anymore. If anyone can help, please do...
