Families, the schedule we have been on is as follows:
6am breakfast (1cup of kibble)
Potty 6:15-6:45
Play time
Napping by 8:30ish
12pm lunch (They will let you know when it’s 12:01pm 😂 We feed 3/4cup at lunch)
Potty 12:15-12:45
Playtime
Napping by 2/2:30
Potty 4-4:45
Playtime usually 4-6pm(ish)
Dinner anywhere between 6-7pm (1cup of kibble)
Potty within 5-10 mins of eating for half hour or so
Playtime
Bedtime 9-9:30
Being that we had a litter pan for them to use in the pen, we didn’t take them out to potty every 20-30 mins. Golden’s are so smart and catch on so quick, so the more proactive you are, the faster they’ll be house trained.
Bones and treats are given in-between meals and are awesome training tools! Treats for outside potty, sitting, training to do tricks… bones for training with crating, energy exertion, etc.
Crating… it helps to move the crate to your bed or couch so that you can sit or lay comfortably next to them until they settle down. They will more than likely make noise and some are louder than others. Comforting them by putting your fingers through the crate or giving them a bone to tire out with, will help… I just don’t recommend you leave the bone in with them as they could break small pieces off and choke. 🐾❤️
