My doberman is 4 months old and acouple weeks..
He's been real good about pooping in his crate at night, but he's not very good holding his urine. We take him out after play time, feeding, and everytime we get him out of the crate but he will go outside...and then when he gets inside he will go some more.
Is this hormones?? Thanks!

He's a little young for hormones. I'd start by considering urinary tract infection (your vet can check him for that) and also stay outside with him longer and get him to urinate twice before you come back in. Urinating twice is normal for some dogs.
