If you arent going to use a crate,it is kind of like pottie training a people puppy. Set a timer for 30min,when it goes off,take him to the door say (lets go out!),as he walks around the yard say (go sniff) or whatever command works for you. If he pees or poos,praise,do a happy dance and dont forget the treat. Repeat process. After a while you will be able to stretch it to an hour,then two. Each dog progresses differently. As he get older he will maybe be able to make it to three hours. If I am home,I try to make sure that Mina goes out every hour and a half,she is 6 months old.
Others may have a better meathod,but this has always worked here. She is one of 6 dogs,so going out is alot of fun.
Hope this helps. |
