[quote=Anonymous]I'd say every hour. Most important is right after a nap, and right after playing. And there will be a lot of accidents. Getting something like Nature's Miracle or Simple Solution makes all the difference in the world in terms of cleaning. It is exhausting. We got one at 8 weeks old and he's pretty easy now at 16 weeks. Not perfect. But on a schedule, mostly housetrained, and very social with people and dogs alike. I'd say the first month was really rough (but not human newborn rough!). :) We crate trained from the beginning, and also bought a pen (actually two and hooked them together) for safe play in the basement. That helps contain them safely for awhile. I also bought a couple of baby gates so I could contain him in the kitchen so I could get some chores done in there. Don't need most of that now but still use the crate. Biting has been a big issue. But he's getting better. We sub toys for our hands, or walk away if he doesn't stop. [/quote]
