My dog is housebroken, I walk her during waking hours, and during the night when everyone is asleep she goes on a training pad in the bathroom, I've always been able to manage my schedule so she never stays more the 5 hours without going outside (I live in an apartment and have to walk her); however my work schedule changed since last week and I simply cannot leave work during the day to come home; I've asked here before (cant get to my old profile for some reason) on tips to train her to go inside again, but she doesn't, on the days that I work all day, she holds it for abou 9 hours. I do walk her twice before I leave for work and twice after I come home. My question is, is it ok for her not to go for 9 hours, or is it harmful for her? If it is, any tips on training her to go inside?
Thank you.
