At the end of the 2 hours, take the puppy back outside. Watch them do their business and then bring them in. If it’s feeding time, feed them and TAKE THEM BACK OUT. Watch them relieve themselves again and then bring them in for play time. As described above, let them play in a restricted area for about 20-40 minutes, then BACK IN THE CRATE. After a total of about 2 hours, do it all again. It will quickly move to longer times out and longer times they can stay in their crates without soiling.
