frequent urination

[Dawn B. Roy]

We just picked up our second puppy last week. He is almost 9 weeks old and we started crate training using what worked for our female puppy in the past.  Our 2 year old was potty trained by 4 months. We use the bell method which works great. We started by taking our puppy out every 30 minutes, after each meal and twice at night. This worked great for our last puppy. Our new puppy cannot hold more then 20 minutes. 10 minutes if we let him drink freely. We now water him 3 times a day. With that he can last around 20 minutes. I checked his urine and it is crystal clear. He also urinates in his crate if he is left more then 2 hours.  We take our time outside to ensure he empties his bladder.  Any further suggestions from the group. He is so adorable and it is difficult to get angry when he throws the cuteness at you.

Roux saw the Vet on Monday and no UTI.  We have added keeping him on a leash while he is inside. That has helped tremendously.  Decreased his cage size also has helped at night.  He is going to be a big boy. He is 18 pounds at 10 weeks. Vienne was 14 pounds and she is 70 lbs. We are hopeful that things will click in the near future. Thanks again for all the support.
