If you say he wees a lot, maybe a trip to the vet will rule out any urine infection, which would explain increased urination. Try sleeping him in a cage at night, use it as his bed.

Their temperament is quite similar to that of a Jack Russel. They have a great deal of energy and need a lot of attention and walks.
