If my understanding is correct, then does that mean Teddy only has a chance to pee/poo twice a day? If you're sleeping by 9:30pm and not waking until 9am, that's 12 hours of holding in his potty! And if he doesn't get walked in the afternoon, whatever time that may be, that's 12+ hours.  Do you also have pee pads for him for indoor potty? Or maybe I read your post wrong... 
General rule of thumb for puppies is that they can hold one hour for every month they are old. So at 7 months, Teddy can probably hold 7 hours to 8 hours in between potty breaks.
My schedule differs from yours slightly but Scottie hasn't had an accident in months and he's outdoor potty trained. He's fed twice a day and walked three times a day. Basically, he has his potty-walks before his meals and potty-walks before bedtime. potty walk at 6:30am
eat breakfast at 7am
potty walk at 4pm
eat dinner at 5pm
potty walk at 9:30pm
bedtime... |
Hi,
Sorry if it was a bit confusing, I was getting myself confused writing if I'm honest 😖
So we come down in the morning about 8 AM and Teddy is let out straight away. He is then given his breakfast about 9 AM but it can sometimes take him up to an hour to slowly eat it. I let him out in the day as often as he asks to go out but as far as I'm aware he only has a poop (first thing in the morning if he hasn't done overnight), he does one in the afternoon about 3 PM and this is either on a walk or in the garden. Then is given his dinner about 5 PM and he goes out for a walk with my husband at approximately 8 PM and has a poop on this walk.
Me and my husband go up at the earliest 9:30 PM but in the last few days we have been going up closer to 10:30 PM – 11 PM and Teddy is always let out last thing before we go to bed.
So the longest time he is probably left overnight would be 10.5 hours and the shortest time is about nine hours? We haven't found any traces of your rain and it's only a poop during the night?
He doesn't cry during the night to be let out to the toilet at all when we are asleep but I guess maybe he's not able to hold long enough?
So in total he is having three poops a day; One of those sometimes being over night, if not, its first thing in the morning when he is left out?
Does that make more sense? x
