Here is a sample for a puppy or non-housebroken adult dog, the dog goes out 5 or 6 times, adjust it for your particular schedule and puppy, some pups need to eat 3x a day.
This system is based on cratetraining.
7:00 am - wake up, quickly throw on some clothes, and take the dog out to potty (once dog hears you up, hurry!) 7:25 am - Breakfast, I put the dog back in his crate and feed & water him 8:30 am - take the bowls away, and take him outside again 12:00 pm - take him outside again, note if he urinates & defecates...
If YES, he can be free in the house with me for a while and play, if NO, he goes back in crate 1:00 pm - If he did not go at Noon, take him out again 3:00 pm - Feed Dinner 4:00 pm - Outside, note if he urinates & defecates If YES, he can be free in the house with me for a while and play, if NO, he goes back in crate 8:00 pm - Last Trip Outside, or a walk, then lights out and crate covered for bed As he gets older and gets used to going outside, he can have more free time to hang out in the house.
Puppies should never be left alone free in the house, they will only get into trouble.
They should be in a cage (not too big) or some set up, like a baby gate blocking them into the kitchen or laundry room.
You can leave them with a few safe toys and some music or tv playing.
As your puppy gets older, you can increase his freedom, but if he regresses or starts to have accidents in the house, you need to go back to crate training.
The time spent in the crate during the potty training period is worth it in the long run.
