at 20 weeks my last two pups could easily go from around 10 till 6 am which is when we get up, but not all are able to hold it that long. My lola is bell trained but there is a period of time after they get bell trained when they ring the bell more because they are bored and want to go outside not because they HAVE to go potty. Eventually you will begin to pick up between having to go potty and wanting to go outside. Lola uses the bell to let us know she wants out, but I don't just let her run out loose, she goes out on a lead and does not wander all over the yard, she goes out to potty. Once she finishes she comes in for a treat. I don't like to confuse going out by the bell to be fun, it's for business and when we walk or go out to play it's by a different door. At 20 weeks if your pup is holding it at all you should be happy. Yorkie type dogs are hard to house break and at 20 weeks I think you are doing better than average, so stick with it |
