move feeding time? i was thinking of changing my furbabies options on when they can eat from leaving hard food out all day to feeding them once in the morning soft and hard and once in the evening soft and hard. do you think they will feel like i am starving them? i did it tonight and Remmie was scarfing down his dinner like he hadnt eating in days!...im doing this too keep my son out of wasting my dog food and ruining their water.. also what do you think of leaving them with out food and drink while i am at work it is only part time i think my hours will be 11-5. do you think it would be okay if they ate and drink before and after work? |
I think you need to keep water out for them all day. |

I agree with Kona that you should leave water out all the time. Six hours seems long to be without water, and it could become a real concern if you're ever delayed coming home from work. And a housebroken Yorkie should have no problem holding its water for 6 hours. Good luck. |

training a puppy on a scheduled feeding time is the easiest way to potty train them. give then their food for 15 minutes, and whatever they don't eat in that time gets pick up. then wait another 15 minutes, then take them outside. Pooping coinsides with eating. Shortly after eating your puppy is going to have to go to the bathroom. WHen you use scheduled feeing you will know when your puppy is going to have to go to the bathroom so you can have less accidents in teh house if you are trying to potty train them outside. free feeding is harder to predict pooping times since they have access to food all day you never know when they are gonna have to poop. |
thanks everyone!!..i think what i wil do is leave remmie in his crate and get on of those water bodles like you can get for a hamster..and continue to feed them twice a day. |
