@denvercross Just asked because smaller dogs can take longer to train. Terriers are so cute though🙂

@denvercross How big will your dog be? We have a cairn terrier and he's been amazing, I swear his bladder is a black hole as he routinely goes from early evening to after 8 a.m.🙂

@denvercross At night you take him outside from his crate if he's whining, tell him to pee, praise him for peeing then put him back in his crate. If he doesn't pee, give him 10 minutes then back to crate. Until Bennie, we got our dogs in the Fall so we were house training in cold weather, not...

@belyse They do sleep a lot at that age…but yeah. Also, house training isn't just one thing, it's a 'don't pee in this space' thing. Start with the crate because dogs are unlikely to our there. When they're reliable in a small space, make the space a bit bigger - the more rooms mentioned...

@trm16 Have you thought of using a belly band on him so he can't pee on furniture? I had a dog that I used it with. Replacing disposable depends pads was much easier although less environmentally friendly.
