8 month old english bulldog crate and house training issues!
Hi! We got Rogan at 4 months old from a kennel and I believe he got used to eliminating in his crate and cleaning up after himself as well as eliminating wherever and whenever he wanted. Since we got him 4 months ago, he has improved with housebreaking issues. However, the rule of thumb I heard is he should be able to hold his pee for 9 hours (months ofa ge + 1). He has no problem holding his pee overnight or whenever he sleeps for up to 10 hours at one point. However, when he is awake he will not hold it. If we are there, he wants to go out every two hours. If we are not there, during the day during the work week, he pees probably 2 or 3 times in the crate during the 8-12:30 time frame and then again 2 or 3 times during the 1:00 - 5:00 time frame. I have no idea what to do... I know he doesn't want this nor do I as an owner. How can I help him?
