Then build a potty routine with gradually increased time between interval (week 1 you take him out every 2-3 hours, week 2 every 4 hours). Eventually your dog will learn to hold it for a very long period of time but dont abuse it. Be fair. Every 4-5 hours is decent.

O.K. thanks for clearing that up for me = )
