We’re trying to get everyone’s routines in sync right now, it’s been a bit of a messy week
Brutus needs to go out three times in a day. First thing in the morning, as soon as we get home, and and just before bed time.
Buddy however, hasn’t got the capacity at 4 months old to hold on all day, especially considering he gets fed twice (morning and evening), and Brutus only one (evening).
So, it’s been a balancing act, but I think we’re getting a handle on it.
He needs to go within 4 hours or so of a feed, so when we feed him in the morning, we need to come home at lunch to take them out. Same deal in the evening, he needs to go out as soon as we get home, then feed him, then take him out a bit later, and again before bed.
Days we haven’t made it home at lunch (company meetings run over lunch, as did some training last week), we’ve come home to a messy puppy cage.
Training him to go out is fun. Whenever he goes while outside he gets a lot of fuss and a treat of some sort, he thinks it’s great, and now sits at my feet for a bit, hoping for a treat, before working out he needs to earn it first.
Pugs are pretty intelligent, so he should be getting there, but they are also stubborn, so if he decides he doesn’t want to, it could get interesting 
Fortunately, he can handle all night with no mess, so he’s been in bed this last few days, which has made for an interesting puppy pile in bed!
