Well I go to school and work so I am usually gone most of the day, but here is my schedule.
Wake up - take her to her pee pee pad. I then let her eat and her run around. (This is for about an hour) I then put her in a confined area where her food, water, pee pee pad and open crate are. She will generally go on the pad 2 times or so during the time I am gone (8 hours sometimes).
My boyfriend comes home and says hi to her, she is usually sleeping when he comes home so he keeps her in there till she goes on the pad after waking up and then lets her run free.
She kinda grazes at night but before bed I take her to the pad again and wait for her to go. She sleeps on the bed with me and doesn't ever go on the bed, I can tell when she gets up and goes to the edge of the bed she needs to go so I take her to the pad. Normally this only happens if we sleep in longer than normal.
I know you are taking your dog outside but I hope this helps a little. |
