For those who have dogs living in their house or apartment, potty training is a challenge. We've sort of trained ours to go outside, and we live in our own house, so there are occasional accidents, but it's rare now. I'm home on maternity leave, so he gets to go out and potty more often. But what about when I'm at work? Twice a day isn't realistic, he won't be able to hold it that long. He absolutely won't use pee pads. Will he grow out of this or change as he gets older? He's 5 months old right now.
Seriously, what should I buy for a really active child who doesn't play much with toys? I'm thinking…

All our dogs are definitely house-trained – absolutely no accidents inside, period. Yours is still little, so it's understandable!))

Should I only potty train when they show interest, or should I create a way for them to get out somehow?

We didn't use puppy pads at all. When the dog was little, we all took turns taking her out more often. As she got older, she could hold it longer, and now she's fine with just morning and evening walks. And she never peed or pooped in the house! 😱

What breed is he? 5 months is still young, of course! I've always had dogs used to two walks a day, but now I have a Frenchie, and we walk him 3 times. But I also have the kids to help out 😉

We let them out before work, but they don't last long on their own, maybe half an hour

The baby is still 5 months old. Accidents are normal until they're a year old.
By the time they're a year old, dogs usually hold it better until the evening, provided they have a good morning walk.

Accidents before a year old are normal. We have a dog at home. When we were potty training him, we took him out several times a day, then reduced it to 3 walks, and now we walk him twice – during the day and at night))

We had a corgi. We always walked him twice a day, morning and evening, except on weekends. At the dacha, he took care of his business around the house.
He could still pee like that until about 9 months old, I think.
