When he is in his crate during the day does he hold it or does he go in the crate? If he can hold it while you are gone during the day there is no reason he can't during other times. If he is going in his crate and going every hour then I would take him to a vet to make sure his kidneys and bladder are O.K. and if everything is O.K. ...I would tend think he has just gotten use to his habit/routine .
Are potty pads out of the question ? I know you may not want to use them but it may help until you move. If not I would suggest trying to reform his pattern...even if it means holding him in your lap or carrying him with you for three hours in between potty breaks so he has no chance to go anywhere before then. You just have to get him in a new habit. |
