I got a new puppy on 11/4, after having to put down my old buddy in July. I'd sort of forgotten how much work a puppy is. It seems to me I had my last dog housebroken within a week or so, but the new doggo seems to be taking a bit longer. They are both Australian Shepherds and the breed is generally pretty quick on the uptake.
Anyone want to chime in with some recent experience and/or tips and tricks to speed up the process? I'm currently taking her out about every two hours or so, and stretching it to around every three at night. I give her a training treat every time she goes outside. I didn't have to use a crate last time, but I am with this one.
