[Lil Bastrd]

with my young pups that aren't potty trained I set timed potty times. The first day I take them out every two hours, also take them out after they have played. I leave a light short leash on them when they are loose in the house. This way if I see them sniffing or they look like they might have to go I just grab the end of the leash and take them out. I use x-pens if I'm busy doing something and can't be watching puppy (so if i'm making dinner or in the washroom). the second day he/she is home I bump it to three hours between potty breaks. When this has been successful for three days I bump the time up more. doing this I have trained all the dogs in two weeks so that they are successful with no mistakes. Puppies learn quicker when they are being successful.
