Hi all. Need your advice. It's actually getting frustrating that my soon to be 7 months old puppy is not even close to being potty trained yet.
I'm crate training him and I can say that the crate size is big/small enough for him to be potty trained. No stool issue as well. The way I see it, it's more about his potty break schedule.
I feed him at 6am. As I go to work, our helper feeds him small amount at 12 noon (I'm slowly transitioning him to 2x a day feeding from 3x a day). Then I feed him again at 8pm.
Accidents happen after the 8pm feeding (between 1:00 to 5:00 I think). I however bring him out from 8:15pm to 11:30pm for potty break but often bring him back to his crate without pooping. The 15mins after feeding potty schedule just doesnt work for him.
Now if you'll ask why 8pm, it is because that's the time I usually arrive home and I want to take the opportunity of using his night ration for OB training (though I also train him every morning).
If you're in my position how would you go about this? Would you 1) simply wake up between the early hours of 1 to 5am and bring him to potty breaks, or 2)feed him at around 5pm (by our helper) cut the OB training and do it only in the morning so I could have more window of opportunity to bring him to potty breaks? Any other options?
Thank you.
