WE HAVE AN 18 WEEK OLD LAB BITCH PUPPY WHO SEEMS TO BE TAKING A LONG TIME TO GET HOUSE TRAINED. IF WE ARE IN THE HOUSE SHE'S NORMALLY GOOD BUT SOON AS WE LEAVE HER FOR A FEW HOURS SHE MAKES A MESS. DURING THE WEEK SHE IS NORMALLY LEFT FOR 2-3 HOURS WHEN I AM IN WORK AND I RETURN HOME AT LUNCH TIME TO FEED HER AND LET HER OUT, WE GIVE HER LOTS OF PRAISE AND TREATS WHEN SHE DOES HER BUSINESS OUTSIDE BUT WE ARE BEGINING TO WONDER HOW LONG THIS IS GOING TO TAKE. HAS ANYONE GOT ANY PEARLS OF WISDOM.
P.S CAN ANYONE ALSO ADVISE HOW MANY TIMES A DAY WE SHOULD BE FEEDING HER AT PRESENT SHE'S FED 3 TIMES A DAY AT WHAT AGE DO WE REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF FEEDS
THANKS
