I appreciate your advice. But, i feel as though I give my pup plenty of water. He, now, has water available to him 24 hours a day. I made the mistake of not doing that before. But, I'm not going to encourage him to go in the house. He's doing so well holding it until he gets outside. I...

No, I just started leaving the water and the frozen bone. He'll drink some of the water, but there is some left when I get home. I don't know the size of the bowl, but it's for an adult dog. He doesn't actually drink all of the water in the 3 bowls that I give him in the morning. He...

No, I leave a bowl of water and the frozen bone. Therefore, he would have plenty of water.

I actually leave a bowl of water and a "frozen" bone. It's a rubber bone that you fill with water and put it in the freezer. It gives him something to chew on and as it thaws, water begins to leak out.

I tried the newspaper outside the crate and he still holds it until I get home. He refuses to go in the house. I told my vet about it and she said if he can hold it, let him. Don't encourage him to go in the house. If he can physically hold it, he will. It won't harm him to hold it for 6...

She's beautiful! She looks just like my little Boxer Tank!

Ok thanks. I'll give paper training a try. I'll just leave his crate door open and try and get him to do his business on the paper.

I appreciate your insight. Quick question. Would allowing him to do his business on newspaper teach him it's ok to go in the house?

Here are a few more. I took these after he played in the sprinklers with my daughter. Poor fella! http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll214/cbullard76/Tank061108.jpg http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll214/cbullard76/Tank2061108.jpg

I agree about the water and today I left water for him in his crate. Here's my confusion. What's the difference between gating him in a kitchen or putting him a huge crate? This crate is big enough for an adult male Rottweiler to be able to walk back and forth. So, realistically, he could...

I have him in an adult sized crate. He could pee in the back of this thing and have plenty of room to walk around without going near it. I can start leaving water in his crate for him to drink. That's no problem. But, he's still drinking as much water as any other dog a day. He drinks close...

No more than 3 hours? I'm sorry, but I do have a job. So, I have no choice but to crate him all day. I wake up at 6 (he sleeps on the floor at night) and let him out to do his business. He comes back in (about 6:15 am) I feed him and give him water. At around 7 am, I give him more water...

He just holds it on his own. I wouldn't get upset if he did have an accident. When I get home and take him out, he urinates for what seems like forever. I give him all the water he can drink in the morning before I go to work. I wasn't sure if I should leave water during the day. He's...
