If he made before the 30 minutes then you know that's to long, take him out 20 minutes after he eats. Potty time must be the same time every day. Dogs are creatures of habit, he will learn what time he eats and what time he goes out to potty. Patience, consistency, treats and lots of praise when he gets it right are key factors in all training. |
I have a question myself, while yes it is said dogs are creatures of habit and go by schedule....
Our dog we did a schedule but now she doesn't even need a schedule, is this just a thing my dog does or do dogs end up getting lax on it?
I just make sure to take her out every 2-4 hours.
