A tiny tidbit is a big morsel to your puppy; a dog's digestive system is not made to handle our type of food. 3. When to Feed: Free feeding is not recommended when trying to potty train. If you don't know when it's going in, you don't know when it's coming out. Create a schedule for feeding. If they don't eat what you give them in 20 to 30 minutes, pick it up and try again for lunch or when you feed them next. (It's usually recommended to feed a puppy 3 times a day, at least until they are 6 months old, then switch to twice a day). Once he eats, take your pup out, some need to go immediately some may take up to 30-45 minutes. This is your chance to start watching for his potty dance and figure out his body's schedule for eliminating. Once you figure this out you can take them out accordingly. Water needs to be regulated also. Offer it many times thru out the day, offered after meals and during and after play. Don't refuse water to a thirsty puppy. Don't limit water; just offer it at regular times. Water goes thru puppies pretty quickly, usually within 10-15 minutes or less. Plus, if they drink a large amount, realize, they may have to go several times in the next few hours. Schedule their play and exercise time, since this is an activity that makes them go. If they go first, before play, it gives them less chance to stop play and drop and go in the middle of it, also play can used as a reward for potty.
