| He won't Potty!! I didn't know where to post this...I know it isn't a training issue. JD is potty trained to go to the bathroom outside. I've noticed lately that he hardly ever pees. I take him out in the morning before I go to work. Then he is in and out all day with my mom, but she says he doesn't go. Then when I get home at 5:00 he goes sometimes and then between 8-11 he will go. So basically he pees 2-3 times a day tops. Is there something wrong with him??? I took him out last night at 8 and he peed. Then this morning I took him out and nothing. It is now 1:20 and my mom said still nothing. How is he going over 12 hours without going??? Any suggestions??? |

| Has he been consuming enough food to even produce enough poop? Have you been monitoring how much food is disappearing from his bowl? |

| Some dogs can hold it a long time! Is he drinking his water? You might try giving him a treat when he does Pee and tell him good potty, every time. that way he will learn that if he pees when you say good potty he has a treat coming? some people would LOVE to have your problem |

| I guess it depeneds of how much food and water he is drinking. You can monitor how much water and food he is consuming. Gucci goes pees around 4 times a day(well that I have seen), and she poops twice, and rarely 3 times. If you still worry you can call your vet. |
