I have an 18 week old dachshund/chihuahua mix. Sometimes, he'll go to the door or bark to ask me to take him outside, but sometimes, he'll race to a corner and go there, before I even get the chance to notice he's gone. Why does he do this? Why doesn't he just always ask? He's had a couple of incidents already where he's done this, but I want him to always be asking.
Also, since the first couple of weeks that I've had him, I've gotten into a routine of taking him out about every hour when I'm home. However, this past week, sometimes when I take him out, he'll just look at me and he won't go. Does this mean I should start elongated the time between trips outside, because he doesn't need to go every hour? It seems that every two hours is more like it now, but I don't want him to have accidents inside, and he's not as reliable for asking to go out to pee as he is to ask to poop.
