Potty Training Schedule for the 8 week Puppy The most important time in potty training puppies takes place before a puppy is 16 weeks. We start training your puppy for you. But you need to continue intensive training through 16 weeks. (After 16 weeks you still need consistency....but it gets easier. Be aware that at this age, puppies can generally hold their bladder for as long as 2 hours. So, consider then when setting up a time frame on how often to take him out. The general pattern for potty training is as follows: Feed the puppy wait 15 minutes, offer water, and then take him/her out to go potty, then spend 30 minutes to play with puppy. An 8-9 week Puppy needs to soil every 2 1/2 hrs. Always give water before taking pup out to soil. Adjust the schedule to add 15 minutes every week that goes by. Basic Potty Training Schedule for the 8 week old Puppy: 6:30 am Rise walk pup briefly 7:00 am Feed & water pup Walk pup and take to potty spot Play briefly with Pup Pup stays in Crate Mid morning: Walk pup to potty spot Pup stays with you 15 min Pup returns to crate 12-1pm Feed pup second meal and offer water Walk pup to potty spot Go back inside and stay with pup Pup returns to crate Mid afternoon: Offer water Walk pup to potty spot Pup returns to crate 5:00 pm Feed pup third meal and offer water Walk pup to potty spot Allow pup to play in kitchen while making dinner 7:00 pm Walk pup briefly to potty spot Offer water (breeders remove water at this time for an older puppy) Go inside and play with pup Pup returns to crate Before Bed Walk pup to potty spot Pup sleeps in crate...or tethered in your bedroom As your puppy matures you can increase the time between potty breaks. Do not leave your puppy or adult dog in a crate for over 4 hours (as the puppy matures to an adult he will be fine in his crate all night) The advantage of the UgoDog trained puppy: Since a puppy is unable to hold his immature bladder for several hours, if you must leave your pup for many hours, then you can open the puppy's crate in a puppy pen or enclosed safe area in kitchen. Put the Ugodog box nearby and your puppy will be able to potty in the Ugodog when you are not home. The Kitchen Timer Potty ScheduleIf you don't want to watch the clock, you can practice a similar potty schedule by letting the kitchen timer be your reminder. I like to set my kitchen timer for 2:30 hours every time my 8 week puppy goes potty. When my puppy comes inside I let the puppy play for an hour or so. When the puppy looks tired, I put the puppy in its crate or pen to nap the last 30 minutes or so. If the timer goes off, and the puppy is still napping I will let it sleep until it wakes up. If the puppy is awake when the timer goes off, I take it outside to potty. Then I start the timer again. You just need to remember to also offer your puppy water before taking him outside and also to feed him on a schedule. After your puppy eats, you need to set the kitchen timer for 30 minutes. Put the puppy in his crate, and take him out to go pee and poo afterwards.
As your puppies bladder matures, he can hold it longer. For this reason after each week that you are training your puppy, you can add 15 minutes to your time between potty breaks. if you follow this method diligently, your puppy should be accident free, and fully trained by 4 months of age. At about 5 months of age, you can reduce his meals to twice a day. At 1 year old you can reduce his meals to once a day Marshmellow's pups took their first car ride today to visit the vet. They also got their first set of shots. The vet had positive things to say. No umbilical hernias, no abnormal heart murmurs, no eye issues, no cleft palates... As he went through the list, it was a little disconcerting: there are so many things that can go wrong with a newborn puppy! Fortunately, every single puppy in the litter passed with a perfect score! |
