Hi Everyone. I was hoping to get some advice on potty training. Tyson will be 16 weeks old this Friday, and he is making great progress so far! For most of the day he has someone there to take him outside when he has to go potty (he is learning to go to the backdoor when he has to go pee, and if he doesn't signal us, we take him out every 1-1.5 hrs.) During the day if no one is there we put him in his crate, which he sleeps in at night as well.
What I am wondering is, during the night Tyson can go about 4-5 hrs without going pee (he will occasionally wake up and then go right back to sleep without having to go out.) But during the day, he pees a lot. Is there something I need to do to try and teach him to hold it longer? Or is this just a matter of him growing up a little more and it will happen in his own time. I am not sure if by encouraging him to go out so often that we are actually hindering his ability to control his bladder.
Thanks for your help!!!
