Hello
So let me give you all the info sofar and then I would love to hear some things I may be doing wrong or right to help this go smoother.
So to start I got Bruno on 12/23 and he was born 9/28
I know a schedule for a new pup is most important thing to get him potty trained so I have tried my best to adhere to it
The first 3 days/nights he did pretty well went out of his crate a few #1 accidents but thats it...with that being said the first 3 nights I did wake up to a crate full of poop.
The first night I had no schedule so I really won't count that...
night 2 I tried making his area in the crate smaller...still pooped
night 3 I fed him at 530pm and nothing after....still pooped
night 4 until now I set my alarm for 3-330am depending on this last time out and that seemed to do the trick
NO MORE MORNING BATHS AND POOP CLEAN UPS
Now I will tell you a typical day schedule I have him on
630-7am take him out he does #1 and 2
then we lay in my bed for an hour or so(we both catch about an hour nap)
8am he eats and drinks(then I usually put him in his crate for 20min)
820am I take him out and he does #1 and 2
11am take him out he does #1 and 2
2pm take him out he does #1 and 2
5pm take him out he does #1 and 2
then he comes in and has dinner
530pm take him out he does #1 and 2
9-930pm take him out he does #1 and 2
1130-12 take him out he does #1 and 2
3-330am take him out he does #1 and 2
ok with that said there is a lot of crate time in-between and always when nobody is watching him...and he always goes from crate directly outside.
So here are the mishaps I have encountered sofar
(keep in mind I have help when I am at work and cannot do it myself ...friends, my kids and mother)
1. he has peed when playing with us on the couch in the in-between times
2. Saturday (2 days ago) my mom came to take him out, he went out did both got praised and was given a treat then went back in his crate, well it wasn't locked correctly and about 15 min after my mom left he got out and pooped in the dining room. Luckily she came back and took him back out and then got him back in the crate. Keep in mind this was within 30 min of him originally going
3. Sunday NYE, a pee accident in the crate but I did run a little late and he was in there for 4 hours
4. Sunday NYE after going out and doing both we were playing on the couch and he pooped on the couch about an hour after going outside
5. Sunday NYE after bringing him out after the poop incident. he went in his crate for about half an hour then came out, I brought him outside he peed and then came back in and we were playing on the couch and he peed again
6. This morning, did our normal routine and about 5 min after eating he was in his crate and pooped in there(I luckily caught it half way and he stopped and finished outside)
Thats all of it
Any and all help input would be greatly appreciated
There is also a local trainer here that does a PUPPY BOOTCAMP that is 14 days of which he claims to do all training
only bad thing is its expensive and the puppy will be away for 2 weeks
