LOL yes that does sound like an awful long time but it can be done.
Buddy is left from 8:15 am and I arrive home at 5:40 every night
unless I am caught in traffic. He is fully house trained and has never
had an accident in over 3yrs. It's all in the training from the beginning.
On the weekends I take him out at 11:00 pm to sleep in later in the
morning. There are times we get up at 8:45 and he has no problem.
His bladder is made of iron because of how I trained him when he was
a pup. All my passed dogs were the same way. I have never had a problem
with peeing and pooping in the house. Honestly, I don't think I could deal
with that in an older dog.
You must be consistant from day one in the training. You just can't leave
your pet behind a gate for 9hrs and expect him to not have an accident.
He needs to know where he is suppose to relieve himself to begin with.
His bladder needs to be trained to hold the urine and a schedule is key.
At two years old I would think he needs to be retrained. It's really not his
fault, he's just confused on what you expect from him.
