This is just the first of many tips associated with housebreaking your dog. Proving your puppy or dog with a regular feeding schedule will help to establish a regular schedule for eliminating. It sounds simple enough, however many people feel that they need to leave food and water down for the dog to help himself anytime he or she wishes. This is especially true for those who have adopted a dog which has been neglected and could really stand to put on some weight.
However, by permitting your dog to graze, you are actually contributing to the housebreaking problem. If you dog is permitted to eat and drink freely, he will never be able to establish a regular elimination schedule. If you permit a puppy or dog to lap up a ¼ to a ½ cup of water every hour, he will need to piddle every hour or so. Frequent urinating generally is the result of giving your dog too much water throughout the day.
I am making one assumption in my previous statement which is that your dog has seen a vet and you have ruled out any possible medical issues such as a urinary tract or parasite infestation. Assuming these medical possibilities have been ruled out, let look at the best way to establish a routine and feeding schedule for your dog.
