i got bunjee when he was 8 weeks old and he didn't start going reliably on his potty pad at home (away from home is another issue) until he was about 12 weeks. but i have him confined to the kitchen area so even when i release him from the crate at night, he can't run off to the carpet to pee and since it's a smaller space, i have enough time to catch him if he starts to pee somewhere else and place him on his potty pad.
when i crate him, and he cries to be let out for potty, i let him out and start to give him the "go potty" command. if he doesn't go in the next 5 mins or so, i put him back into his crate and walk away. no petting, no playing, no treats.
but in general, potty training takes a lotta time and patience. 9 weeks is still pretty young and your baby still have lots to learn. potty training can take months but just keep at it! good luck! |
