I've read this thread a couple of times as I have the same question..... Lucy is my puppy. She is ten months old. Right now my Lucy stays in her crate at night Almost 9 hours. I don't let her go longer than that. She wakes me in the morning and will go the bathroom when I take her out.

imgot her she she was 5 months. I just have done a schedule that I followed which was 2 to 3 hours. I was pleased with how well she did as I kept on the schedule assuming that as she got older she would be able to hold it and extend the time I took her out to 4 or 5 hours and she could hold it more.

It's 5 month later. If I am at all late on the schedule she will pee on the floor. Occasionally she will poop but mostly pees. I have her mostly in the kitchen during the day when I can't watch her. I have someone take her out during the day but again off the schedule at all and she will pee. I occasionally crate her for 4 hours at most.

The restricted area It keeps her from getting into trouble. I do let her out after I take her out and also extend her area in the house so she doesn't think her whole house it hers to potty in. I have tried to have her out and about but she has always gone the bathroom way before it's time to take her out.

I'm kinda frustrated and am not sure if I am doing something wrong. My dad seems to think she is too little of a dog to go outside and I should potty pad train her. She hates the pads and will rip them to shreds when I put them down. And she eats her poop constantly if left and I feed her pinapple to stop her but it doesn't matter. I don't want to confuse her but a friend had Pointed out that she doesn't get the outside thing either so how would that confuse her? I thought this would be easier.... What am I doing wrong??
