I schedule feed mine but leave water available all the time so that it is easier to tell when they need to go outside to do their business. I never use wee pads. My dogs have always be outdoor trained starting a 4 weeks for Roxy, Zoey, and Lucy- I had them from birth because Cozy is their mom. My golden Lucky I got him at 6 weeks and he was housebroken by 9 weeks but I was crazy neurotic about watching him for the slightest sign he needed to go out. I got Cozy at 4 months but she was not fully housebroken til she was almost 8months. She would sneak and pee at the back door. She never alerted like my golden would. He would always whine when he had to got out. One day she just started to cry and sin when she needed to go out and it has stuck. |
