I guess when she looses one bad habit, she picks up another. But as far as her being left all day, I assumed the amount of times I take her out sheould help because she doesn't have accidents in the kennel during thed ay. I take her outside at 5a.m, then feed her 6:45 a.m before I leave, then 6:00 p.m when I return from work, then I feed her again, then I take her out around 9:00 pm, and once again before bed which is usually around 10:30, 11:00 most nights, some earlier, but it's not everyday that she does this. I made a shread in another column about her urine and the comment was that it does sound like UTI and maybe that's the cause of her having to go so badly by the time I get home from work. The problems I'm having with her whether my fault or not, aren't that bad where I'm gona give up on her,she's a doll and I look forward to watching her prosper. inspite of her beginning.
You're also expecting a 4 month old puppy to hold her bladder for 12+ hours, which is completely unfair. She realistically can only hold it about 5 hours at this age. Making her hold it for so long can cause other problems as well, not only UTIs, but kidney issues also.
