I fed Nolee 3-4 times a day. You can read the instructions on the package. They usually need to potty, after naps, eating and exercising. I took Nolee out after this and about every hour, except at bed time (when he needed, which luckily wasnt much at all). I had him on a regular eating schedule and after a while knew when he would need to poop. I don't work, so I was able to do this! Now we have pretty much a routine of eating and pottying! Good Luck! It takes patience! Each furbaby is different!
