[nagdu] When To Relieve

[Elise Berkley]

Hey, everyone.  I need help.  My trainers have Becky on a very tight relieving schedule.  Her first time to go, by them, is 7:00 a.m..  I feed her, water her, then relieve her.  I am a very early riser, and I took her out earlier than 7:00 a.m.  But, by her actions, she had to go and she went immediately when I took her out.  They told me not to do this because we did not want her out of schedule and she could hold it.

The same thing happened this morning.  I got up at about 5:00 a.m.  My husband told me she had to go out.  I told him what they said and I was going to have her wait.  But, I really do not like doing that to her.  When I took her out, she did #2 again immediately.

It seems inhumane to make her wait to go when I know she has to go because of a schedule.  Please give me input on this because I am a first timer here.
Thanks and happy guide dogging.

Elise and Becky
