I think I remember someone posting about this problem, but I looked back and couldn't find it.
Harley (now 4 months old) is doing great with the potty training. He has not had an accident in over a week. It was like he figured out one day that he is supposed to go potty outside. He goes to the door and scratches when he wants to go potty. We take him to the same spot each time and give him the chance to go- no playing.
The issue is that he will go to the door sometimes as often as every 5-10 minutes to go out. Most of the time he pees when we take him out. I have a feeling he is not completely emptying his bladder when he goes out. I think he just likes to go outside. We live in a townhouse and do not have a yard, so we take him out on a leash each time. He does get walks each morning and playtime during the day.
He can hold his bladder 4-6 hours during the day when he is in his crate, and 8-9 hours at night. Don't get me wrong, we are VERY grateful he sleeps through the night and lets us know when he has to go out.
A trainer told us to take him out every time he scratches. It is hard to get anything done when he wants to go out so often.
Any suggestions on the frequent daytime bathroom breaks?
