Common sence has to be used when owning any pet. Who in their right
mind would leave a dog crated in a heated house with no water?
In reality water does not need to be put down all day when your not at
home IF you have given your pet water before leaving and coming home
to walk them at lunch time giving water and then at dinner time as well,
with water down until that last walk in the evening.
You can not potty train a dog to go out side if water is left for free drinking
during the day when no one is home. He will pee because he can not hold it.
If you want to pee pad train your pet or use belly bands than that's fine
but to train a dog to pee outdoors he can not have water when no one is home to monitor it or you will never get him trained.
