After 6 pm I think he needs to go out more often, so I've started taking him out every hour and the last 2 days have been sucessful and watching him more closer is helping. Tonight I was so excited because every night around 8-8:30 he's going to poop and I've been missing it every time. I was reading last night and he walked on the other side of my husband and did it on the floor. ugh.... I took my eyes of him for 1 min. but tonight I watched his every move and asked him did he have to go outside. well he hesitated a little and then walked slowly to the door. we went out and he pooped. I think you just have to watch every move at night unless you put them in their room with the pee pad. hope this helps some.  |
I agree I think timing has something to do with it. They'll start letting you know what they want to do when given a routine they like.
