I recently adopted a new dog. He's an Alaskan Malamute and an Belgian German Shepherd named Ramses. He's about nine to ten weeks old. I have a white Malti-poo who's about a year old named Odin.

Odin doesn't seem to really like Ramses even though we've introduced him slowly to each other. First sniffing and then introduction a day later. Odin hates him. Anytime we praise Ramses for pottying outside or doing well on obedience training he's just glaring or giving us puppies eyes. We're even teaching Odin new tricks and praising him for that. I shouldn't place human emotions on him, but I think he's jealous. Any advice?

Also house training. Ramses is only nine to ten weeks old, and I'm crate training. When I got Odin he was almost three months so I'm so lost at this age. He pees in his crate. We let him out right before bed, take up water an hour before bedtime, and he still pottys in the crate. I don't know if he doesn't know potty area from sleep area, or if this is because he's so young.

Any other advice with this specific breed or anything you can lend advice about would be great.

I'm convinced I'm doing something wrong. Ramses is still peeing in his crate. It's big enough for him to turn around, but small enough to where he doesn't have a place to eliminate and a place to sleep. He's pretty much sleeping in his own urine. We take up water at 7PM. We play for about an hour, and then we take him out. He'll potty at about 8:10, and then we go to bed. About 12AM I wake up to him crying so I'll take him out and he'll potty. By 5AM he's already peed in his crate. I don't get it. We take water up at 7, why is he still needing to pee?

Also just last night he walked right into his crate and peed. That is his sleeping area! What do I do? :[

EDIT: Also a note on Odin and Ramses. Ramses keeps harassing Odin and food for thought made me think what if I claim Odin as mine and he can only play with him when I allow him? Just like I claim my bed and all my stuff and I allow him on the bed when he's submissive. Could this stop him from harassing Odin?

Maybe you can check with the Shelter and see if they did any tests on him for infections That might make him urinate a lot.

They are playing! I claimed Odin as my property and mow they're getting along! I'm so happy . Now we just need to fix his pee problem.
