Well Bailey is six he goes out between 900 and 930 and then when my husband gets up at 430 to 500 am he goes out. Pips has a potty pad in the kitchen but he doesn't want it in his pen at night. He goes potty on pad 930 or 10 pm and then if I get up during the night 2 to 3 am we put him on the pad then back to bed. In the morning at 430 to 5 when we get up its straight to pad. He stays in kitchen but pen is closed off except for night time so during the day the uses pad and sleeps on his blankets by dining table. I take him out if kitchen or go in several times during the day to play, feed, etc. Next week I will start taking outside to explore but not to push potty outside too much schedule wise we have company and I don't want to disrupt his schedule. After co leaves I will be taking him every few hours to teach potty outside but he will still have his pad for night time. Maybe just let him use his pad for nighttime so you can sleep and get up early like we do. The other thing would be to put him in crate next to your bedside. Bailey sleeps with us but I am not sure pips will because of his size, we will just have to wait and see. Hope this helps |
