Let them out as often as you can in the day. This may mean coming home for lunch or getting a friend to let them out for you.
• Limit the amount of food and liquids you give them in the evenings. Bear in mind it takes about ten hours for dry food to pass through a mature Dog. Feed it early in the morning and at a suitable time in the evenings. Once your Dog is trained then they can wait significantly longer. The guideline is for training purposes.
