Control Water Intake

• Keep a schedule for water, however, you should design a schedule that fits you
• Remove the water dish after the first feeding in the morning
• After the night feeding, leave water dish for two hours, then take it up
• Before your last walk for the night, put the water dish down about an hour before
• Then walk your dog 45 minutes after he has had water. There will might be days where that might be an exception for water.

Find The Dogs Schedule – then gently move it to your schedule

• Start by taking the dog out every two hours for two days, if he goes every two hours,
• Then take him out every three hours, for two days,
• Until you reach the time frame you need – every six hours—eight hours etc

One Accident In the House –  the dog detects the smell and his instinct to continue mark where he smells urine

• This is how wild dogs let other dogs know that this territory is taken and for dogs not in the pack to go elsewhere.
• If your dog has an accident in the house, spray the area with 3 parts vinegar and 1 part water,
• Brush with a soft brush,
• Put a towel on top to absorb the liquid,
• Then take it outside where you want him to go,
• Take it out of the bag and put it on the ground,
• Praise your dog when he goes outside.
