New Set of Rules

Obviously, since I am having a hell of a time with accidents - and now he's peeing in his crate too when before he'd only poop - I've got to think of a better way to do this since my current way is very obviously not working.

Here's the new set of rules:

No food after 5 pm

No water after 7 pm

Potty break times are as follows: 7, 10, 1, 4, 7, 10, 12-1 (that's pm, so whenever I go to bed), and then if that doesn't go too well, I'll add a break in the middle of the night. Problem is that right now I don't wake up to my alarm so I need to work on that, too.

Take him out after eating, after playing, 30 min after a big poop if he's still having mucus.

Treats when pottying outside, also.


I know I shouldn't give him a blanket because it gives him more incentive to hide it, but I feel bad when he has to lie on the little tray with nothing soft and you know how CKCS love soft things. But, for now, he's not getting anything because it'll help us both know when he has accidents.

-------------

I'm going to try this method for a good week and if it works, I will continue with it and if it doesn't, I will reevaluate it next Sunday.
