I have been cage training for three months and have my yorkie ringing a bell on the door to got potty. He is 6 months old and does not pee or poop in his cage anymore as he use to do. He can hold everything for 5 hrs or more when he is caged and I happen to be out usually the middle of the day.
In the morning and evening when I am at home he rings the bell about every 10-20 minutes to go out. I try to promptly take him out when he rings as I am so glad that he is finally telling me and now generally doesn't go in the house if I take him out every time immediately, however he is wearing me out and occasionally after I have taken him out three times in the last hour I will temporairly roll the bell up or if I am eating just tell him to wait and if I don't take him out he will just pee in the floor. Every time I take him out he pees or acts like he is. I can't continue taking him out 3-4 times every hour until he settles down at night on my lap to snooze.
I take him for a short walk in the evening and usually once a day I work with him on some tricks that I am teaching him. If he is not playing with his toys on the floor I usually have him on my lap.
I can't keep this up much longer. I can't focus on anything very long due to repeately runny him outside.
Help please!
P.S. I am prompting him to go potty when he is outside and try to allow him time to do his business but not long enough that he just piddles around outside.
