We bring Toto to Petsmart twice a week; Tuesday and Thursday. Sometime we bring him in one of the weekend. The weather is too cold now, and we cannot bring TOto to Dogpark as much as we like to. So to maintain his 'pyschology' health and his healthy weight, we let him play in Daycamp. And we had reduce his morning meal to 1/4 cup because his poop is still soft and we suspect we are overfeeding him! But we gave him more treats (Freshly baked biscuit by moi). And now we trained TOto to go down just to Pee and back home, so far he is doing it quite willingly of course we will have a biscuit to 'lure' him back!
8.30am - First walk (Depending on when hubs wake; pee/poop)
9.00am - First meal (1/4 cup)
6.30om - 2nd Meal (1/2 cup)
7.30pm - Last walk (pee/poo)
10.30pm - Just bring him down for pee
The schedule is getting easy!

Recently TOto poop is very soft, we suspect he POOP too much so we lessen his walk to twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening.
8.30am - First walk (pee/poop)
9.00am - First meal (1/2 cup)
6.30om - 2nd Meal (1/2 cup)
7.30pm - Last walk (pee/poo)
10.30pm - Short walk (pee)

Now he is a fully outdoor pee/poop dog. Erm, we didn't train him to do that, he just want to convert it himself. I guess if you want to 'convert' your dog, you have to give him a structured schedule.
I guess because MR K has given him a strict schedule, he is now a convert. But hub now have to wake up every morning to bring him down for walk, and before hub sleep, TOto usually will have a last walk.

Extra Potty Habit :
We have made enough mistakes to know :
- Encourage Toto to Pee before boarding the car, ANYWHERE!
- Toto will pee/poop faster on FRESH green grass!!
- He can hold Pee for about 6-7 hours, so usually after he Pee we will crate him and leave for grocery shopping.
- If for no reason he start sniffing the carpet, and sniffing very HARD. He is looking for places to PEE!
We usually clean him up abit daily making sure his feet pad is clean and his coat at least is grass free.
Toto's Weekend :
- Usually we read Dallasnews.com for Pet to search for news to Pet's Event.
- We try to feed him before his walk to prevent him chomping on anything he find on the streets!!
- Nowadays during weekday when activity is low, after the morning business @9plus-am after breakfast, he will try to HOLD it until 8pm walk!
- Italics are not confirm and Strike out is Toto eliminating that potty habit 'timing' .
