To train my puppy I got at 9 weeks in December, we took him out every 45-60 minutes. The weather was just awful for weeks after we got him, it was miserable. We wrote down when he went so we could keep track of when he needed to go next.
By 18 weeks he was reliably ringing a bell and we started allowing some free roam, but lately (at 22 weeks old) he has started to go in the house again! Very disappointing, so we are going back to watching him and putting him in a pen which he will (almost always) not potty in. He also can't hold his pee through the night, and will wake up 2 times usually to go out. He is almost 9 pounds, so the size of his bladder shouldn't be a problem. I really hope he will be able to hold it through the night as an adult.
We are planning on getting a doggie door when we can find someone to install it. Hopefully that will make everything easier. |
