crafty

when i take howie out for a wee, he will go straight away no problems, he will then come up to me for a treat which is great but then he will go off and do another little wee then come up for another treat and sometimes a 3rd time. is this normal to go a few times or is he just trying to get more treats out of me? and should i give him a treat everytime he goes?

I think it's quite normal as they are very crafty and soon catch on eventually when they are toilet trained stop the treats.or cut them back

All normal and he is still very young so bladder control is weak

Better out than in

I'm not really worried about the amount, more do I give him a treat everytime he goes or just the first time

I only gave Ruby the treats for the first couple of days - once she knew the routine I stopped and just made loads of fuss after a wee and she kept up the good work.

Me personally i would give high praise rather than treats for toilet breaks .

They don't have full control until at least 6 months so the more your pup pees outside the better Alternate a treat for plenty of praise!

Very normal. We still give Suki a small treat if it is raining and she will knock on the door and go outside when it is raining

Agreed !

Lots of excitingley voiced praise, is more than enough for such a simple task, if your not careful you will be using cheese, liver, then steak, as a reward and even that still wont be enough.

I'd do the above too.

Haha cheeky monkey! At least he's getting it right
