So to speak that is. Hi. My yorkie, Kandy, is 6 years old. She grew up with my children, my husband that works fulltime and myself who works part-time. To this day we cannot get on a consistent schedule for each of us putting her out/feeding, etc. and she has accidents frequently!

Schedule now:

Out of crate in am to pee in yard
In, gets treat
We feed her
She takes 2 sips of water and has to go out for bowel movement
Comes back in to eat
Then put her out when she goes to door or she finds us

I'm trying:

Put her out to pee from crate in am.
Bring her in to eat and I set a timer for 10 minutes
It goes off, I take away food and put her back out.

This seems to be working if I can get the family to abide by it too.

But then she still manages to (hold it in) and still has accidents in the house....

Anyones thoughts/suggestions out there?

Many thanks.

Sue.
