A very stubborn dog, but I love him. We had an invisible fence put in which
works great. We have patio doors that go out to our deck. This is where I
let the bully out. For the last few weeks, if I just let him out , he will
pee right there on the deck in front of the door (never poops). This happens
unless I walk off the deck with him. It seems as if he does not want to go
out by himself. He HATES to be by himself. This is the case MOST of the
time. Sometimes he will go out by himself and do as he is supposed to do. It
is not that he is afraid of the fencing, because he will go out and run
around and play if I go with him. He is 5 months old now and does very good
in the house as far as peeing. Should I walk out with him until he stops
doing this? I have just been telling him no! when he does it and guide him
to the lawn. I don't want to confuse him though because he is outside. But
he knows what he is doing wrong , right?

I read ahead - he's a PUPPY. He's acting pretty normal for a puppy.

doing this?

Yes and no. Walk out with him using a phrase you will eventually use from the
doorway. "In the yard" or something that makes sense to you and you will use
consistently. Praise him for going out onto the grass to eliminate. Then go
part way., using the same phrase, praising, etc, and eventually stand in the
doorway and use the phrase/praise.

I have just been telling him no! when he does it and guide him
to the lawn. I don't want to confuse him though because he is outside. But
he knows what he is doing wrong , right?

Wrong. He knows he needs to eliminate outside, but he has enough puppy
insecurity that he doesn't want to go too far. My younger dog was like this as
a puppy - I walked out with him (or directed him from the doorway) to remind
him that I needed him to go all the way to the lawn. Even at 3, every once in
a very rare while, he's so excited if we've just arrived home from being gone
quite awhile, that even though he needs to urinate really badly, he also wants
to be with us, and he'll run out the the lawn and run back to the door, and
urinate there. I solve this by recognizing his excitement level and just going
out with him - simplifies it all.
