We adopted our cockapoo Cocoa & we have had him for a month now. He's about 8 or 9 months old. We walk him 5 times a day, but he still has accidents in the house. He is walked early in the morning (around 6:30AM), after he eats in the morning (around 11:00AM), in the afternoon (around 3:30PM), after he eats in the evening (usually around 7:45PM), and before bed time (usually around 11:30PM). He was having accidents, so we started using a bell. We were making his paw ring the bell before we took him out & said "Want to go out?" or "Want to go for a walk?" One day he jumped up to ring the bell, but it was when he already had his leash on & we were about to walk out the door, so he already knew he was going out. But I was still very proud of him, because he had rung the bell all on his own.. The problem is, he still has accidents in the house & doesn't ring the bell when he needs to go
Sometimes he paces back & forth or pants when he needs to go, but sometimes its hard to tell if he needs to go. I am going to try to be more persistent with using the bell, but I would still like some advice
How do your cockapoos go to the bathroom? Are they walked, let out in the yard, do you use pee pee pads, etc.? If they are walked, how often do you walk them? How did you train them not to go in the house? I'm sure your cockapoos have had accidents in the house. What did you do when they did? How did you let them know they did something wrong? If you can answer these questions and give me any other advice, I would greatly appreciate it!! I need all the help I can get! Thank You!
