You should never ever restrict a puppies acess to water. They drink when tey are thirsty and if they continuously overdrink its for a reason. I would for sure take back for more testing! And never ever restrict water intake. A dog or puppy takes many small drinks all day. 3 times a day is not enough. Im sorry but it makes me mad that a trainer would even suggest such a thing.
The only time i have ever heard this is right before bed to take water away but never ever to a puppy.
And i would listen to a veterinarian before any trainer.
I would be very concerned with getting a u/a done.
And the fact that he doesnt do it while in a kennel may simply be because he refuses to pee where he sleeps.
And when he is out he can go whenever needed.
I wouldnt connect the two. |
