Last week we brought home a lovely GSD pup, 14 weeks old. He's been great with the housetraining (his breeder did a great job laying the foundation) and had never *knocks on wood* had an accident in the house. Yesterday he stopped consistantly going potty when outside. By this I mean we will stand outside for a looong period of time and nothing! He'll sniff, chase bugs, sit and grin at me... but no potty. Even after eating or exercise. So we'll come back in and I'll put him in his crate or ex-pen and half an hour later try again. I don't let him loose in the house to play until he's gone to the bathroom, but hours will go by! Obviously sooner or later he goes pee/poop, but I don't feel comfortable leaving him loose for 4 hours without going to the bathroom during that time period. Is he old enough that he just doesn't need to go as often? When can I assume he has the housetraining gig down, and can relax a bit?
Thanks for your time!
