What has always worked for me is to write down the time when they
would potty and what they did (#1 or #2 or both) and also log what time
they have eaten.
At night I would pick up the water dish at a certain hour
and make certain there were a couple of potty breaks between taking up the
water and bedtime. I always crate train too which is a very big help with
housetraining I have found, along with watching them like a hawk when out
of the crate.
The meals were always at the same hour and between that and the above
mentioned a schedule was set quickly and was pretty much like clockwork
as long as the schedule was adhered to.
The excited urination should taper off at time goes on.
