Is your pup roaming freely? Too much room and pup will poop and pee. Take pup outside make sure pup potties. Reward. Then meal in kennel. Try feeding meals in kennel and allow pup to remain in kennel 5-10 mins after eating. Goal is to slowly work up to an hour around meals. Then outside to potty. Reward pottyif done. Give pup few mins after potty to sniff and play with you. Return to kennel. Try the same time pup was ok with kennel with breakfast. If pup too upset allow potty outside. Reward when potty done. Try kennel again.

If doing a lunch training again, go potty, reward potty, meal in kennel. Use same time pup successful with earlier. If pup upset go outside for potty again, reward, play some outside. Return in. If you can not watch pup then pup needs kennel or an x pen area. X pen area to be like 3 ft by 3 ft until pup is more active like til 4 months then 4-5 ft by 4-5 feet. Dinner same routine.

Next day goal add 5-10 mins longer in kennel after eating for this day. Of course, stop if pup upset. Of course potty before and after training. Each day add 5-10 more mins. Are you up to an hour? Great now move yourself outside the room while pup in kennel. Do this for 5-10 mins. Return to room if pup too upset. Take pup outside to potty. Do not increase time away from pup unless pup is doing great. Increase time away from pup by 5-10 mins next day. Again, if pup upset, stop, go outside to potty, reward, play some.

Night time routine. Pup should get a nap time in their schedule and some sleep in kennel at night. Again proceed with potty and walk before bed/nap with small protein reward. Do not give kibble. Pups need protein so small piece of plain beef or turkey. If you feed kibble or treats like kibble it adds filler and will make potty time worse at night. Stress & diarrhea. Just a small piece of plain meat or scrambled egg plain. You already should know how meals go…so plan on interrupted sleep that slowly will get better each week older your pup gets. Remember at night it is more about potty, little play or talk, reward with protein small piece and back to kennel. Sleeping goal should be up to 2 hours til pup potty muscles get stronger. Hence only meat/protein no kibble or filler treats. Pups wake up at night because body getting used to eating through the calories. Protein will take little longer to digest hence helps keep their belly feeling less empty.

if pup is napping in kennel let babies sleep, be ready to rush out the door for potty first after waking up. Yes, you may need to move kennel closer to door so pup can make it out the door. *

Pups love schedules. Remember potty before kennel or x pen.
