how long before a puppy can go outside
The number of potty trips your puppy will need each day depends on his age. The younger your puppy is, the less bowel and bladder control heâll have and the more potty trips heâll need. If your puppy is less than 6 weeks old, plan to take him out every 30 or 45 minutes during the daytime. If heâs 6-12 weeks old, plan to take him outside every hour. From 12-16 weeks, heâll likely need a potty trip every 2 hours and from 4-6 months, every 3 hours. These are general guidelines, of course, and you may find that your puppy needs more or less frequent potty trips.
