Housebreaking
Between 9:00 and 6:00 his schedules varies depending on him. At 9:00 he is
let out to go, if he goes he is praised and given free rein of the house for
two hours and then one hour in his crate. Assuming he went every time I
took him out his schedule would look like this
9:00-potty break-praise free rein
11:00 crate
12:00-potty break, praise free rein
2:00 crate
3:00 potty break, praise free rein
6:00 dinner
If he didn't go during one of his outings he would be put back in his crate
and let out on the hour every hour until he went.

Ok, my husband and I have pretty much tried everything and
here is our latest method:
Your latest method sounds generally good. How long have you
been doing this? I've snipped your timetable, but have
questions as to the blank spot between "9:00 out again" and
"6:00 Dinner."
What is he doing during this time?
He doesn't have a scheduled break through the night but I
do get up when he whines and tell me he wants to go. Some
nights I have gotten up 3 times a night to let him do his
business.
Does he actually go all three times he's out? If so, you may be
looking at a medical issue. In your previous thread, was it
suggested that you get him checked for a urinary tract
infection?
