    Once first thing when we get up. Once during a walk. Once before I go to school. Once when I get back from school. Again during a walk. After her dinner. Twice befor bed.

    Pretty much when ever she wants.

    The following is our average potty schedule. Keep in mind it does not include when we go out to play, for a walk or hike or any other type of outing.

    On an average workday, I let them out at about 6:00am, Joe lets them out when he gets home at about 3:00. Then they go out again around 6:00 and again before bed whch is anytime between 8-10pm.
    I usually have at least one dog with me at work & he/she/they usually goes out at least twice during the day.

    An average weekend: They go out when we wake up, anywhere between 6-8am. The rest of the day it varies depending on what we have to do. But on average they go out every 3-4 hours.


    Edited to add that I obviously let them out more often if they ask or if they happen to be ill or the like.

    My dogs are out every 1-2 hours to use the washroom, about every 2 hours to go out and play or go for a walk.

    When Sam was here, I let them out every hour and a half because he didn't like to hold it long, and woulden't let me know when he had to go. With Molli I let her out every three hours or so.

    I have one (Honey) that prefers to stay outside all the time during the day. In fact, she is pouting right now because there are guests next door on their back porch and I'm making her stay inside so she won't bark. Lilly would never go outside if it were up to her unless it was to go on a walk or a ride in the car! Mack loves to be outside, but I worry about him getting too hot and slipping under the fence, so usually he stays inside with Lilly and they go out at lunchtime. I think the longest between outside visits is usually around 4 hours. They do not have to go outside after around 9:30 or 10 at night.

    Whenever they want.
    Ethan goes to the front door and sniffs, then looks at us to tell us he needs to go. And if you weren't watching, he gets his face infront of yours and stares at you until you get the hint.
    Usually when he does this, the other dogs get taken out aswell.

    Usually when ever they want to go out which is probably about every 3 hours or so, maybe a bit less.
