Floor Protection Questions

Hubby mentioned vinyl. We do have an xpen but aren't sure if that's what we'll use. I'd love to buy one of the professional pens-slide in tray for a floor, heavy construction, etc., but don't want to spend that kind of mine.

I've never taken a dog out every 30 minutes to pee. Every couple of hours, yes, but not every 30 minutes. That seems a bit extreme.

That's the way it is with young puppies every 30-60 minutes or you will be cleaning up pee. It also teaches them to potty outside. If they pee in the house and outside it sends mixed messages to the dog. I also brag on them when they potty outside, (that's a good dog)in a soft tone. How often and how long do you have to change diapers on a new born human? There bladders are extremely small and need relief.

I took the Collies out every 30 minutes and have had only one accident from Sawyer in the house. Sasha had about 3 on the first day and none since.

Let's see you potty train a 12 week old human in one day.
