Rex barks everytime he has to go out to use he bathroom! I figured out the reason he was going in his crate was because Im gone at work too long and he cant hold it. Soo what is the age where they can hold for more than 6 hours? Dh will not walk him for me at all. He says I wanted the dog so I take care of him. Grrrr Im like it takes 5 minutes to let him out and back in.

 

[Rachel Zugg]

boy do I feel your pain............ MY DH is the same way. I was constantly walking the dog or cleaning up the poo outta the floor. Sorry that I dont have an answer to your question tho....

 

[Jebronys]

thats not very loving on your husbands part! :shock:

 

[Shay78]

LOL! Your funny . He is VERY loving he is the one who didnt want the dog and I begged him and he got it. He told me if we get it its MY responsiblity so I agreed soooo whatcha talking about lol

 

[Rachel Zugg]

He is loving enough.............. :lol:

 

[Shay78]

I would think so! He got something for me that he didnt want At ALL!

 

[Rachel Zugg]

:lol:

 

[Jebronys]

i dont know, im just comparing it to my marriage. WHenever im at work and my wife is home she'll walk the dog no problem. We look at it as teamwork but thats us. Its my dog too she didnt want it at first.

 

[Rachel Zugg]

I think you just like to argue......... Shay I hope someone will answer your question and look past this other JUNK...

 

[Shay78]

Well u cannot compare marriage from one stupid statement. My dh work from 9pm - 7am and then watches all 3 of my kids all day until I get home at 6pm m-f. He does PLENTY and plus more. He pays ALL the bills and gets us EVERYthing we need and want. Him not walking a damn dog says NOTHING about his love for us. Like I said for him to get something for me that he was so against is showing plenty of LOVE

 

[Shay78]

Thanks Rachell I guess some people get off on crap like that lol

 

[Jebronys]

damn please im not asking for you to show the claws. put em back in that fur tiger.

 

[Shay78]

:?

Isn't the general rule something like: their age in months plus one hour. So the average puppy should be about five months for them to hold it for six hours, but of course it varies a great deal from puppy to puppy.

By the way, your son is very handsome!

 

[Shay78]

Thanks Bogart for the advice and comments! He always hold it over night from about 12am - 6:30am so thats where I got that figure from.

 

[i love remy]

Bella could hold it for 6 hours during the day at about 3 1/2 months old. She's rarely in her crate for that long at one time, though.

Do you put water in the crate? I know people do but when I was crating (and had AC) I didn't put water in the crate because I felt that was just setting them up. If you need water maybe do what show folks do and put in ice (a frozen bowl)?

This is a really cool idea! I bought Harley a giant water bottle, like for a hamster, but bigger. She seems to not even know it's there. I think I'll try this.
