    I don’t want to use puppy pads, but I feel I’m left with no choice…

    @jakefromsf Great advice and that which I’m already following. Every hour and 15 minutes after eating drinking. I get up 3 times throughout the night for her currently. I’ve got a log and my best day is 3 accidents, all when I wasn’t present (I gotta go too you know!) and sometimes it’s when...

    I don’t want to use puppy pads, but I feel I’m left with no choice…

    @tropicalbaby lol, I’m all for sticking with my guns and seeing out the training (we are renovating soon, so the mess isn’t too much of a concern). My concern is finding time to work and providing a suitable place for them to potty BUT it sounds as though since isn’t as easy as I thought and the...

    @ancientof I didn’t even know this was a thing. In my head this makes more sense and will be more relatable to the puppy actually. Thanks for the recommendation!

    @peaceloving And there probably lies my problem. I’m not leaving anything - beyond the heart beat teddy she sleeps with. I’ll get something ordered up and see if that changes things

    @peaceloving If she’s not ready to sleep, she just howls and cries until I let her out. She’s absolutely golden when sleepy, but if not, she just wants out, even if it is to just lie at my feet

    @imagebeastmarkbeast Trust the process, right? 😁 ok thank you! Might need to work out some sort of schedule with the missus so we can work coherently with puppycare, side by side! Oh the challenge!!

    I don’t want to use puppy pads, but I feel I’m left with no choice…

    @imagebeastmarkbeast Yeah we have a crate and she sleeps in it perfectly. She’ll cry once she wakes to let her out. I’ll take her straight out and she goes instantly. It’s all the parts in between that catches me out. Usually after eating and drinking (10 minutes after) I’ll take her out and...

    I don’t want to use puppy pads, but I feel I’m left with no choice…

    We welcomed a beautiful 8 week old Bernese Mountain Dog into our lives a week on Sunday and it’s been tough, as expected. I took the week off and have been doing my best with toilet training and when I watch her like a hawk, we do well. When I don’t… not so well. She goes to the toilet between...

    The best feeling I didn’t know I could have!

    @edward237 Sounds like my life. Chuck in a 3 year old and 7 year old and that’s me. It’s tough isn’t it. I’ve just wrapped up week 1 and there are improvements but jeez, whenever I close my eyes, all I see is dog as that’s all I’ve done for the past week 24/7
