Well, it depends on the dog of course but you have to remember that some dogs have small bladders. Also he is still young and can get distracted. Sometimes they drink a lot and the bladder gets full and they are too far from the door to get there so.......it happens.
I think most dogs at 6 months are getting the hang of it but still need a lot of reinforcement. I'd keep up with the training and watching him closely. Keep giving him lots of praise when he does do it right. They never get tired of hearing it. Gracie backslid a few times right when I thought she knew everything but I had slacked off of praising her for going where she was supposed to go. All it took was getting back to making a fuss over her when she did it right and she went right back to doing good again. |
