Hi all, we just brought home Seamus on Sunday. Overall he has been doing awesome. We are crate training and live on the 7th floor of an apartment building so we need to factor in walking down the hall, waiting for the elevator, going on the elevator and walking out the back of the building, into our potty training schedule. Right now I have been taking him out ever 2-2.5 hours during the day and every 3 hours (unless he cries) during the night. Should he be able to hold it longer at this age? If so how do I get him to start holding it longer? Since I work from home I just take him out rather than wait for accidents to occur. So far he has only peed in the house a few times and only pooed in his crate once (the first night) and I chalk that up to being upset and nervous about his new surroundings.
I try and crate him for a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the afternoon just so he gets used to it and I can get some things done (like work haha). He seems to be doing fine. Only whines/cries a little bit when we put him in at night and then goes right now.
I am hoping in the next few weeks I can only get up once in the middle of the night instead of 2-3 times. Is there something I should be doing to increase the amount of time he can hold his pee and poo?
Thanks for your help!
