Most puppies start out needing to use the bathroom:
First thing in the morning
After every nap
After every feeding
During and after playtime
Puppy minds wander, just like little kids. Like trying to play a sport, but are really out there watching a butterfly or digging in the dirt.
Puppies have a short attention span just like kids, so instead of thinking about using the bathroom their watching that butterfly that just went by or Woah! That leaf just moved! …because everything is so new to them.
There are so many exciting things going on outside that they don’t get to see all the time so they get distracted easily. They need a place to focus when using the bathroom. As you’re taking them out every 5 minutes, if they don’t go, put them back in their crate for a few minutes and try again in a little bit. Continue this until they use the bathroom then they can play!
Continue this same process when they get up in the mornings, after naps, playtimes, etc.
