Sample Potty Training Schedule for Working Owners
Adapt this schedule to fit your need and your dog's needs.  A young puppy or geriatric pet might require an additional mid-morning trip to the potty.  When you are home for holidays or weekends, add socialization and additional obedience training sessions.
