Thanks everyone for your responses. I've been doing great with him. I was very worried about this but he sleeps all through the night so I'm not missing that much potty activity. If I were working nine hours through the day this would be too much. He holds it. When I come home he's still sleeping! On his back with tongue half out like I never left. I spoke with a dog trainer. He says that since I'm training him to pee outside that the pads will confuse him and teach him that it's ok to pee inside and every rug I have is fair game. I'm impressed that Brady is doing so well. I take him out for a very long walk at night and moniter his last feeding time. Then put him to bed in his crate and go to work. When I come home I take him out to potty again. He goes straight back to sleep. I have to set my alarm to take him out all through the day because that's my sleep time but I sure don't mind. I only work three nights a week. |
