Hi All, I have a puppy who is coming up to 14 weeks. We are doing pretty well on the toilet training in that she has very few accidents in the house. I am following all of the guidance in terms of praise, treats, constant monitoring and taking her outside regularly. She is getting it well, and goes and sits near the back door when she needs to go out. She is completely dry in her crate (has been since day 1).
I've got 2 issues:
- she seems to forget the rules when I let her into other rooms in the house, outside of the main kitchen/living room where she is usually. The other rooms have carpets mainly, which is stressful!
- She is able to hold overnight for 6-7 hours now. However, in the day she will often need a wee every hour (or sometimes twice an hour). The guides all say they can hold their bladder for an hour per month so we should be looking at 3-4 hours. However, she will typically go to the door at least once an hour and if I ignore she will then start circling and go indoors. I'm not sure what I should do to build up the time during the day.
Any advice appreciated. Thanks in advance!
