I don't free feed - Loki eats twice a day, therefore he poops twice a day - once in the morning and once after he eats dinner. That's helpful because he goes before I go to work and then when I get home.
With 1 yr olds I'd go out every hour for a week then every 2 hours. I'd give 30 mins free time/30 mins crate then increase to an hour each. If they start having accidents go back to 30/30. BTW if they don't pee outside it's BACK in the crate... If they aren't going every hour then switch to every 2 hours. My guy could pee every 15 mins so... it depends.
I just put a leash on Loki's collar when I just let him out to pee, but use a harness for walks. I've seen the step in style leash/harness all over, even Petsmart. |
