He never had an accident in the create however if out of create I made
sure he went out every two hours or before if I saw him drink water. He had
a couple accidents but soon caught on.
No water in the create or you will never train him. By 5mos he was completely trained. Then out of the create, gate up in kitchen .
By 5 or 6 months they have control over their bladder and can then hold
it much longer. Vet told me I made Buddy have an iron bladder by training
him that way. Because at times he had to hold it.
Good luck stay persistant, persistance is what does it. You can't do it one day and not the next. They are very smart and catch on fast. |
So he was out of the crate with free range of the house after you got home from work, but you let him out every 2 hours to potty? and in the morning between 6 and 8 was he out of the crate or in?
Just asking because I like your schedule. I think I'm going to try it. My puppy should be able to hold it about 5-6 hours at a time. She'll be 5 months in 2 weeks.
