I'm really lucky.....I bring both Callan (7 months now) and Indy (6 years) out at the same time
Indy would rather NOT do his business if Callan is around, so he normally just sits and waits his turn (who needs a puppy sniffy up your butt while you are trying to pee!)
So our latest routine is this. 6 a.m. Both boys get fed. 6:10 Outside. Callan pees and poos immediately. Indy not. I bring them both inside and then Indy is let out again to do his business in peace.
After that.....Indy is a camel.....he can probably go 24 hours if necessary! Callan will pee everytime he sees grass. Poo is now down to only twice per day, but not predictable. Sometimes in the late morning, sometimes early afternoon, sometimes evening.
Only bad news is that Callan will NOT pee on a leash. Neither will Indy, but because he can hold it FOREVER I don't worry about it. But I bring both dogs to my store often, and take them outside regularly to the regular pee spots, and they just sniff.
Annoying!

My Whisper doesn't like to piddle when she's on a leash, either. She travels with us everywhere, and will 'hold it' for hours. When we run errands, we often stop my the house so she can relieve herself in the usual spot. We work with her before we take vacation trips, to mixed results. She stays close to us always, and at times I have resorted to letting her off leash when she shows me she's getting desperate--she literally hops up and down on two legs.
Multi Woof--We've been fortunate to have two girls at a time. The older girl always teaches the younger one the toilet routine. It's a tradition.
Shelties are smart and observant, and do they learn from each other. They picked up an interesting habit that my hubby calls 'piddle on command.'
I open the back door and say, 'Go piddle.' And they do. My hubby says that this command should be included in obedience trials
We're hoping to add a new girl to our family, and hope this 'tradition' continues.
so true
Shelties are smart and observant-
that is SO true! One command that I have taught all my sheltie's is look cute...such ham's they all have been, and they pose for picture taking....but one of the reasons I LOVE the breed, because they seem to get what is expected. Once they get what you want them to do, they respond so well, and that makes them the BEST pets
