My routine's pretty much like Ronda's(ronlynn). I live in a townhome, no fence. My girls go out 3X's a day. Once in the am anywhere between 8-9AM where they will usually pee & poo..then again when I get home from work, about 5-6. then again at night before bed....they sleep in bed(or nearby)with me and will sleep til I wake up..they won't get up til I do. They have run of the main level and upstairs(basement's blocked off). I do keep 2 pads on the main level and 1 pad upstairs since the youngest, Duchess, at 9 mths still may pee once or twice before i get home on the pads...the other girls are fully trained outside but know if they must go(bad weather, late getting home to take them out, etc.), they can use the pads. I trained them on both for cases when they don't get outside for whatever reason.
Good Luck! |
