    Default Just some advice

    My pug is 5 mos. old. She still may have the occasional accident in the house but besides that potty training is going very good. I still praise and give treats when we come inside and she even expects them and sits down right after coming inside on the floor by the treats. However, I am wondering how long do i need to continue giving her a treat after she goes potty outside? Is there a certain age or time I should start winding down the treats?
    Any words of advice from older pug owners would be great! Thanks!

    I would continue treating until she is solidly reliable for 2 months, then start randomly treating but don't stop treating altogether until she is at least a year old. Always continue to praise. Incidentally, if you are not treating her the instant she potties outside, what you are actually treating her for is for coming indoors.

    I never stopped the treats either but I want her to pee as often as she will.(Tinker has issues with stones).
