I'm glad it helped. That is an awful lot of times to go, hopefully he starts being able to hold it for longer amounts of time. Is he just being a typical young boy and only sprinkling a little each time or is he actually emptying his bladder when he goes?

Im gonna add another potty training tip so you can start working on him telling you when he has to go... Still take him out every hour.. But get a bell to hang by the door he goes out and have him ring it then take him out right away.. And do this every single time you take him out.. If he goes up to it and rings it just to play with it.. Outside he goes right away.. He will pick up on that quick.. And eventually ring the bell whem he has to go.. If you cant get s bell i would defintly have him atleast sit ifront of the door everytime before u take him out. I gotta start the bell with koda still. I keep forgetin to buy one lol.. But my cousin does that with his dog and i read alot about people doing it.

Welcome, and thanks for saving him! Glad the times out are helping, I will add a side note that I did not see posted but have you taken him to a vet yet? Is he UTD on his shouts and could he have a UTI? Also as soon as he is able to get him in to be fixed so you don't end up with a teenager marking everything in your house. Glad u found us.

Since you brougjt up marking.. About how old when they start marking? And if i get koda fixed right at 6 months does this avoid the marking stage usuaally?

Eric, wish I had an answer but every boy is diff, as soon as koda is at the right age/weight I would do it just to be a head of it. I adopted adults that came fixed so I never had to deal with it. Others might chim in.

I heard of the right age.. What is about thr right size? Im goijng to the vet tomorrow i suppose i can ask him all this stuff lol.. Im just impatient

He has been to the vet, but he is not fixed yet. Since he is not having accidents i his crate all night I don't suspect UTI, but we are going to check. I have a feeling he just isn't emptying his bladder all the way when he goes..

He'll be going back to the vet next week so I will have more info then. By the way, he is know on day two with no accidents! Yey!!!! Now if we can just get the nipping under contol

Eric, I put a bell up on the back door this morning. He is yet to use it, but I ring it myself whenever I let him outside. I'm still getting him outside once an hour (unless he tells me sooner) and we he is doing great. Thanks for the advice with the bell. If he gets the hang of it, I won't have to jump up and see if he is going to the door for is half a sec tell.....
